“Yes, Mr. Wood,” she stammers, fear etched in her face at the blatant threat.

“Now, go back to work. We don’t pay you to come to work to make friends in the hopes of getting favors.” Her cheeks turn pink in embarrassment before she quickly turns around and scurries away. The rest, just pretend like they didn’t see yet another lashing.

with that, he gently ushers me to the elevator. Once it closes, I turn to him.

“you and your brother can be terrifying when you want to,” I tell him in honesty.

He shrugs as if it was nothing. “It comes with the territory. It’s either eat or be eaten.” “How did you find out about Rebecca, because I’m sure you showing up wasn’t just a coincidence.” I ask completely puzzled.

I don’t know why. For some reason it was just easy to talk to Rowan. Maybe because I’ve seen a different side of him. A warmer and down-to-earth Rowan. He is completely different from the cold, bitter and angry guy I left when I chose to flee this country years ago.

asked you to get the reports, Since he's in a meeting, he couldn’t come to you when that woman cornered you, so he sent me.” I try to stop them, but I can’t. Yeah, I can’t stop those stupid warm fuzzy feelings that are currently filling up my body.

“I didn’t need the help, but thanks nonetheless” I mutter, trying to get myself under control.

“Any time, Harper,” he responds with a smile.

We get to the top floor and get out of the elevator. After Rowan says goodbye, I hand over the reports to Christopher, before heading to my little office.

| “I want to take you out for dinner on Saturday” he informs me once we are done eating.

“Gabriel” I go to say, but he cuts me off.

| “It’s no fucking secret that I want you, Harper” he states in a husky voice. “So, I’m going to do anything in my power to have you. I'm telling you this just so you are prepared, because this time, I'll be the one chasing after you.” Fuck. What the hell do you say to something like that?
