white shirt, wishing that | had put on a bra before | had chere.
“Good evening, Mr. President,” | said, using his official title just to mess with him a little bit.
Alexander’s eyebrows rose, but he simply nodded atin greeting.
Annoyance coursed through me, and my hands tightened into fists at my sides. Even though | had liked being
left alone at work, | didn’t appreciate his silent treatment outside the office. Our conversation from late last night
flashed through my mind. When he had talked about boundaries, did that mean that he didn’t even want to
speak toabout anything outside of work? Was that how things were going to be from now on?
Alexander walked over to Mike, who was by his kitchen counter, pulling out the medicine that | had brought him.
| thought he would comment on my purchases, but he didn’t. Alexander sat down on Mike's couch and began to
read his book.
| didn’t know why his indifference towardwas grating on my nerves, but my jaw clenched. Suddenly, | just

solitude away from Alexander and his too-quiet company.
“Thanks again, Mike,” | said and turned around, heading for the door, purposely not saying goodbye to Alexander

“How's your stomach feeling? he asked.
How did he...? Wait. Richard must have told him after last night. Damn it. Was there anyone in this city who
wasn't employed by Alexander Green?
“I'm feeling much better,” | replied stiffly. “Thank you.”
“Good,” Alexander paused and gavea searching look. “Make sure to stay hthis weekend and have
access to a computer at all times in case | need you for work.”
| made sure that my smile didn’t falter. “Sure thing,” | replied brightly. “Have a good weekend, Mr. President.”
As | walked out of Mike's apartment, | grinned.
There was no way | was staying hthis weekend.

The next morning at seven sharp, Ava showed up at my door with a duffel bag and three takeout coffee cups.
Thankfully, my stomach was completely fine now, and | took the cup full of caffeine gratefully.
“Is this black?” | asked her before | took a sip.
Ava smirked. “Like our souls,” she joked.
| giggled and took a sip of the hot, bitter coffee. Even though it had only been a day without it, that first sip
tasted like liquid gold. | closed my eyes and sighed in contentment.

“Aiden is going to meet us in the parking garage across the street in ten minutes,” Ava said and adjusted the
grip on her bag. “The third coffee is for him.”
| locked my apartment door, then looked back at her. “Do you think that it’s safe to invite him along?” | asked. “I
don’t want to put him in danger. Chloe isn’t someone that we should mess with.”
This was the spoint that | had brought up last night when Ava and | were on the phone. She had suggested
bringing her younger brother, who was on summer vacation, along for our road trip to Luceland.
“Honestly, | think that it would be dangerous not to bring him,” Ava said as we walked to the elevator.
“What do you mean?” | pressed the elevator button and turned to her as we waited.

I absorbed her words for a few moments.
“Isn't your brother only nineteen?” | grumbled and picked up my bag to
exit the elevator.
“Yeah, but he’s a body builder. He spends like eight days a week at the gym.”
