Ryder's POV

"Wait...you two know each other?" I ask, looking back and forth between Harry and my father.

"Yea," Harry nods, blinking at my dad. "You're dad is-"

"His boss." My father interjects, before looking back over at me.

"Wait, what?" Shawn says besides up, completely surprised yet entertained by all of this. "Hold on a sec, so this Harry is the same Harry that is under your watch and working for you?"

My dad nods.

"Ha! Small world." Shawn laughs, an amused smile in his face as he takes a sip of his drink. "But dad with all the jokiness aside, Harry really is a good guy."

"Yeah. I know." My dad nods. "But Ryder, how do you know him?"

"Uh, well it's a long story..." I say, nervously licking my lips. "We met on my birthday and well one thing lead to another and well we are... together."

"He's your boyfriend?" He asks looking up at Harry, who nods back at my dad as a reply.

"Hmm, well I'm glad you're here, Harry." My dad says, placing his hand briefly on Harry's arm, giving him a friendly pat.

"Now, why don't we get the celebration going?" He says turning away from us walking around the table to his newly wife.

I was sitting next to Harry at Shawn's table, our hands laced together in his lap. Everyone just finished making a toast to the new bride and groom and now they were off on the dance floor having their first dance. As I take a drink  out of my champagne flute, I try to decipher how I'm actually feeling towards my dad.

I do feel nervous about being here, especially now that I know that my dad is actually Harry's boss. However, I don't think that will change anything between us, Harry has told me so and I do hope that is the truth.

"Hey love," Harry says giving my hand a squeeze to get my attention. I look up at him, placing my drink back down on the table.

"Do you want to dance?" He asks.

I smile, happily up at him. "I'd love too."

He grins standing up from his chair, gently tugging me to the dance floor after dismissing us from the table from Shawn and Hannah.

Ugh...how is he so formal?

Coming to a stop at the side of the dance floor, Harry turns to face me moving to place his hand on my waist while taking hold of my hand with the other. I smile, placing my hand on his shoulder before he took a step leading us into the slow rhythm of the song.

"Thanks for coming." I mutter, gazing up at him, slightly distracted on how his eyes flicker with the light above us. "I don't think I would have dared to come if you weren't here."

"That's not true." He says softly shaking his head. "You have a big heart. I think you would have come even if I wasn't here."

I bite my lip. "Will all of this change anything? You know, since I'm your boss's daughter?"

Harry purses his lips. "Have you ever read Dante?"

I nod. "Vaguely."

"Then you should know, there is a reserved circle in hell for brokers, drunks and anyone dumb enough to date their own boss's daughter."
