ONE MONTH LATER

Roman

“I am going to miss you so much, princess.” I held Maddie up and kissed her cheek. “You be good for Gigi Pippa while Mommy and Daddy are at work.”

“She’s always an angel, Roman,” My mother, Pippa, said.

I handed her over to my mom.

“Bye, sweetheart. Mommy will see you later.” Morgan kissed her head.

“You two have a good day at the office,” my mother practically pushed us out the door.

We climbed into the back of the Escalade, and I grabbed Morgan’s hand and brought it to my lips.

“I love you.”

“I love you, too, babe.” She smiled.

“My brothers and I will be tied up in interviews all morning. So if you find something for the Pearson case, we’ll be in conference room three.”

“Got it. You three have been interviewing for almost a month. I can’t believe you haven’t found anyone yet.”

“You know we only hire the best; unfortunately, thebest hasn’t been found yet. But I’m hoping today we will. You know we have a reputation to uphold.” I smirked. “I will say that one application really stood out to me.”

“Oh yeah?” Morgan asked.

“Her name is Laurel Evans. She graduated at the top of her class with a 4.0 from Duke University with several honors.”

“Where did she previously work?”

“She was an associate at a law firm in North Carolina, and then she moved to San Francisco two years ago and became a public defender. Her record is amazing.”

“She sounds like the perfect candidate, babe.” Morgan smiled.

“At least she does on paper. We’ll see how she interviews.”

“I’m sure she’ll do great.” She leaned over and kissed my cheek.

“What was that for?” I smiled.

“I can’t kiss my future husband for no reason?” Her brow arched.

“You can kiss me anytime you want.” I hooked my arm around her and pulled her into me. “I love you, future Mrs. Hamilton.”

“I love you too, Mr. Hamilton.”

I set my briefcase down and asked Olivia for a cup of coffee. I picked up the interviewees' resumes and took them to the conference room.

“Where’s Julian?” I asked Parker.

“He got called into court. He said to start without him, and he’ll be here as soon as he can. Who’s our first interview?”

“Laurel Evans.”

Olivia opened the conference room door and set my coffee in front of me.

“Thanks, Olivia.”
