Page 13 of Flirting with My Billionaire Enemy

“I’m what?”

“You’re…” I scramble to find the right words. “Doing a great job as a boss.”

“That’s obviously not what you were going to say. But I’m not sure you’re right.” He stiffens. “I apologize. I was being unprofessional.”

His dad steps into the office.

My heart jumps in my chest when I see him because he almost caught me telling off his son. I’d get fired for sure.

I fly to my feet. “Mr. Keith. What an honor. What can I do for you?”

He waves a hand. “Please take a seat. No need to stand on my accord.”

I sit back down. “Yes, sir.”

“I was just walking past and thought I’d stop by to see if you’re on board to come to Blue Mountain.”

“Yes, sir. I’ll be there.”

“Thank you for being willing to go above and beyond for this position. I know this is unconventional.”

“It’s no problem at all. I’m happy to help if it makes things run a bit smoother.”

“You’re welcome to stay at our house,” he says.

I catch Kaison’s expression out of the corner of my eye. He looks a bit flustered. But I don’t dare turn down an offer like that from my boss’s boss.

“That’s very generous of you, sir.”

“It’s the least we can do, and there’s plenty of room for you there.”

I can only imagine. His home must be ginormous.

“Kaison will be staying with us as well, so you will both have ample opportunity to work out the kinks in this department.”

“Excellent.” I spread a smile across my face, but it feels forced. Staying in the same home with Kaison could get complicated. Especially with how flirty he’s been acting. He’d better not do that in front of his family or someone might see it and think there’s something inappropriate going on between us.

I’m the last person to have an office romance and I’m not going to let a teensy weensy attraction to my boss get in the way of my future success in this company. I don’t care how sweet he is to his mom or how soft and kissable his lips look.

Wait. What am I doing? I can’t think about his lips. Especially not at a time like this. His dad is standing right there! I have to keep my head in the game. We have a project to finish and keeping focus is my top priority.

“Well, I won’t keep you two.” He takes a step back. “I’ll see you at the house tomorrow. I have to take a quick trip to Florida tonight to meet with the head of our Orlando office. Reach out to my assistant if you need anything. Bye, Kaison.”

“Bye, Dad.”

He disappears around the corner, and I turn back to Kaison. “Let’s talk about what we’ll need to bring to Blue Mountain.”

“Most everything is digitized, but we’ll still need to pull a few files from the archives. I’ll have my assistant take care of that for us.”

Waves of heat are rolling off of Kaison’s chest and I can barely focus on what he’s saying. Do they have a pool on their property? Indoor? Hot tub? Will there be a shirtless guy involved? What if he accidentally walks in on me when I’m changing? What if I spill food down the front of me?

Why am I catastrophizing right now? Everything will be fine. But the thought of Kaison with his shirt off pops right back into my mind, and I have no idea what he’s saying anymore.

“How does that sound to you?” he asks.

“Um, sure.” I have no idea what I just agreed to. This could be bad.

“So you handle the Ferguson files, and I’ll take the Detroit office.”
