*✩ Boise, Idaho
✿ Reid's POV
I sign the documents and hand them over to my assistant. I turn to my laptop screen when I realize she's still standing there.
“Sloane?” I call out. “You can go now.”
She fidgets and I lean back against my chair.
“What is it, Sloane?” I ask.
“Mr. Dalton er... a special package came in for you last week.”
I clasp my hands and turn around in the chair to face her.
“And you're telling me this now because?”
She lets out a loud breath and points towards my best friend's office through the glass partition walls that fenced my office.
“Mr. Nielsen asked me not to say anything. But I can't keep it in anymore sir. If you find out from someone else you're surely going to fire me and I love working for you” she rants.
I slowly nod.
“You may go now, Sloane.”
She doesn't budge and I click my tongue.
“Fine, then I'll go,” I say and walk out of my office, making a beeline for my best friend.
He looks up from the file he's holding and smiles, but it falters when he sees Sloane behind me. He closes the file and gives her a look. I clear my throat.
“Hernan, Sloane tells me received a special package two weeks ago and you asked her not to tell me.”
He nods.
“That is correct, Reid.”
I fold my arms.
“Well since she's told me now, let me have it.”
“No,” he says.
“No?” I enquire.
“No” he repeats and walks off.
I follow him into his office.
“I already took care of it so there's no need for you to worry. Trust me, I'm your best friend.”
I chuckle.
“That's even more reason not to trust you, Hernan.”
He takes a seat in his chair and twirls a pen through his fingers.
“I said no Reid. You can go.”
“I pay for that chair you're sitting on. Do you want me to fire you?”
“Oh, stop. Your little threats aren't going to work on me.”
I let out an annoyed breath.
“Hernan—”
“Miss Wood's getting married” Sloane blurts out.
Hernan shoots her a lot.
“Sloane!” he scolds.
“Sorry. I work for him, not you” she squeaks out apologetically.
I press my lips together as they both turn to look at me.
“She's getting married” I repeat.
“More like engaged to be married, but it's the same th—”
I glare at Sloane and she shuts up.
“Reid—”
I scoff, cutting Hernan off and walk back into my office to grab my jacket before walking back out.
