“It’s like you’ve covered everything.”
“We always do.” He clears his throat, his tone serious as his hands flex and unflex against the leather of the wheel.
“Anyway…” He pulls the car to the curb of the large skyscraper.
“Take the day off, rest, make sure you eat, and don’t forget to drop off the portfolio, it’s important he has information. He has to stop by in the morning anyway to grab his car since he most likely had his driver take him home, he was pretty shaken up.”
“The driver?” I guess.
Gabe laughs.
“Wow, that’s adorable. No, about you.”
My heart warms in my chest.
“But he’s grumpy all the time, he hates me.”
“He technically just hates everyone that isn’t as fast as he is, but he’s a good person. Believe me. I know.” He unlocks the doors.
“Stay safe and don’t forget your purse.”
I nod.
“Okay portfolio, right, tell the doorman to let me in.”
“Actually…” Gabe searches his jacket, then grabs his phone.
“…I may still have his entry for his apartment on my phone.” He frowns, scrolls for a solid minute.
“Agh, got it from the Christmas party. He was so pissed I made him dress as Santa.”
I laugh. I can’t help it.
“Did he actually do it?”
“Hell ya he did. I spiked his eggnog.”
I laugh harder.
“I can’t imagine an out of control Eli.”
Gabe smirks down at his phone.
“Well, I’m sure you’ll see it soon, it’s quite… invigorating.”
Okay, strange word, but I smile anyway.
“Thanks for the save and I’ll be sure to stop tripping on the stupid area rug in his office.”
“Maybe flats next time, some assistants even buy tennis shoes.” His smile is adorable.
“No judgement, it makes it easier to run.”
I touch my head as a pulsing sensation begins at the base of my neck and snakes around my face.
I’m hot. I’m cold.
And then I see the blue of Eli’s eyes. Run? Did he say Run? Hunt?
