Page 23 of Family Bonds: Coy & Angel

It was the last thing she needed to worry about.

She really was here for her job first.

Second was to see what could happen between her and her boss.

They stopped in the break room that had a small kitchenette in it. She put her lunch bag in the fridge and then went to Maria’s office with her purse.

“You’ll have to ignore Abby,” Maria said quietly when they were seated. “She has a massive crush on Coy. He hates it but lets it go. He doesn’t give her any encouragement. He just wants to do his job. He hates when patients and anyone else flirt with him at work.”

“That has to be annoying,” she said. It’s not like she planned on doing that during working hours.

But then when else did she think she’d see Coy?

Urgh, yeah, she didn’t think this out at all.

For now, it was work mode only. The rest would just have to happen naturally.

Angel didn’t want to have doubts about anything, but after walking around his house, she realized she didn’t know him all that well.

Most of it was what she’d found out from her brother.

“He told me he doesn’t tolerate it with patients and staff. My brother is very protective of me. I know he asked Coy to watch out for me.”

“Coy is a good guy,” Maria said. “He is a great boss, but I’m positive he won’t be intrusive, regardless of what Spencer asked of him. And Sarah and I won’t say anything about your relationship with Coy either. No one needs to know. Let them get to know you for you.”

“Thank you for that,” she said. “But it’s not a problem if they do know. And I don’t think Coy is going to be all that intrusive either.” She sat down and pulled her ID all out to hand over, then was given her laptop and everything she needed to sign on and do her paperwork.

She noticed that Bond Dental fell under Bond Enterprises.

She wondered if that meant it was partly owned by Scott Bond.

Spencer had made comments before about how Scott owned so many properties and business ventures on the island. She’d done her research on the ancestors to add to what her brother had said for years.

There were two branches that were part of the billion-dollar fortune. Coy’s father, Scott, and his brother, Mitchell, had separate businesses but many together at the same time that were left to them by their father. Then there was the other extremely wealthy branch that owned The Retreat and many more investments as well.

Other branches had plenty of wealth too, but not as much as those two.

She’d bet that was why Coy hated women who approached him.

She’d overheard her brother telling her father once that Coy never got drunk unless Spencer was sober. That they swore to watch the other and cover their backs.

Since her brother was focused on his career young too, he was more than willing to do it.

No one ever wanted to worry about a stupid thing they did in college to come back and bite them in the rump.

Herself included.

It only took about twenty minutes for her to finish her paperwork, then she moved over to Sarah’s office with herlaptop and was shown the software, and the routine of the office was explained. The color coding system and how it flowed.

It all seemed pretty easy to her.

She was introduced to the other two hygienists, Emma and Becky, when they were between patients. Then told there were two part timers that weren’t working today. The front desk staff were nice too and she was left standing in her office wondering what she was supposed to be doing.

“Hey. Are you all done?” Coy asked

“I am,” she said. “I didn’t want to bother you when you were with a patient.”

“No worries,” he said. “She’s being numbed now and I’m going to check on two other patients that are getting their cleanings. Why don’t you come with me? You can watch me do one and you can do the other.”
