I chuckle against her mouth, clearing my throat from the tears and wiping at my face.

“Thank you for this.”

My voice sounds raspy, but Olivia doesn’t seem to care, kissing me over and over.

“It’s the least I can do,” she finally says, stepping away from me and looking almost shy.

I take her hand. “I should take you home.”

She nods, looking exhausted after banging around the warehouse. She grimaces. “I need a shower.”

I think of asking if I can join, but I don’t want to ruin this moment.

We really connected, and that matters to me.

I wonder if she knows how much.

Chapter Forty

SEBASTIAN

A couple of weeks later,I have a meeting with Edwards close to Carter Holdings.

I know I shouldn’t, but I go to visit Olivia.

She’s busy in meetings, so I hang around, sniffing around the accounting department, just looking to see if I can see anything out of the ordinary.

I don’t, unfortunately.

My sleuthing led me nowhere, but I want to be more involved in finding this leak, so just before close, I go to Damien’s office.

I knock on the open door, and he looks up, his eyes widening.

“What are you doing here? Is something wrong?”

I sigh. “Why does everyone always ask me that? Am I a bad omen or something?”

He laughs. “Kind of. You’re high up at Titan, and it’s a little concerning when you show up out of nowhere.”

“Fair enough. I wanted to talk to you anyway.”

“Yeah? About what?”

I step inside and shut the door, standing across from his desk as he sits.

“I want access to the codes, the app that you use when someone accesses it.”

Damien frowns. “Okay, but why?”

I shrug. “More eyes on the leak. More opportunity to catch them. I don’t work as much as the rest of you.”

Damien grins. “Why, because you’re old? Arthritis acting up?”

“Oh, fuck off,” I mutter, but I smile. “I’ve earned my time off.”

Damien nods, pulling out his phone, and he grants me access to see when someone inputs a code to the hall of records.

“But if you hear anything, call me first,” Damien warns, and I nod, waving dismissively as I leave the office.
