Page 27 of That Time I Kissed My Beachfront Boss

Technically it was Mom’s underwear.

MAC

I’ll just show myself out now.

OLIVIA

Don’t you dare leave, Mac. This is a sibling chat, not a sister chat, and I need man advice. From a man.

MAC

What exactly is man advice from a man?

DARBY

More importantly—WHY WERE YOU WEARING MOM’S UNDERWEAR?

OLIVIA

The airline lost my luggage, and I had to borrow some clothes. But I got my bags back today.

TESS

Perfect. Show up wearing something sexy tomorrow. That’ll give you your edge back.

OLIVIA

Even if I wanted to be sexy for Hudson—which I DO NOT—we’re trying to save The Beachfront. That’s my only focus for the next four weeks.

MAC

As the one who invested the money for this renovation, I thank you.

TESS

Ooooh. Off-limits coworker attraction, forced proximity, and an expiration date? You’re practically in a romcom, Liv!

DARBY

As if she needs yet another guy falling all over her.

OLIVIA

Believe me. That’s the last thing I want, Darbs. I’m out of here next month, and I don’t need any man holding me back.

MAC

Then I think I can help.

TESS

Man advice from a man?

OLIVIA

Yes, please!

MAC
