“Who are you?” I whisper at him but he doesn’t answer me.

I’ve told Theo about my brothers before, when I first started working for him and thought that he might still have a heart or soul, but it’s been over a year since I mentioned them.

Is his memory really that good? I didn’t even think that he was paying attention to me ramble on about them back then.

We ride the rest of the way to the office in silence. I send Remy a text back, promising him that I’ll take some of my hard earned vacation days soon and come home for a visit. I try to think about when the best time to go would be, but Theo is slammed for the next few weeks. It’s not like that will change, so maybe I should just pick whatever dates I like.

“What are you sighing about?” Theo asks as Lucas pulls up outside of the building.

“Thinking about taking a vacation.”

“No.”

He climbs out of the car before I can respond and I growl as I move to climb out too. Lucas grins at me and I laugh.

“You actuallylikeworking for him? You’re sure?” I ask, and he chuckles.

“He’s a good man.”

“Based off of what?”

He just gives me a knowing smile and we both climb out of the car.

“You can’t tell me that I can’t take vacation. I have a ton of days saved up,” I remind him, and he shakes his head.

“We’re too busy. Besides, we just came back from a vacation.”

“You’re joking.”

He stares at me and I shake my head.

“That was a work trip, not a vacation.”

“Still, you were out of the office.”

“Yeah, and in someone else’s office!”

He grabs his bag, and Lucas passes me mine.

“Thanks.”

Theo is already heading into the building and I debate just walking to the parking garage, getting into my car, and driving home.

Would he chase after me and drag me back here? Probably not. It would be undignified.

I inch my way towards the parking garage next to the building and Theo stops, turning around to glare at me.

“I will make Lucas chase after you,” he threatens, and I glance at Lucas.

“Would you?” I whisper, and he shrugs.

I sigh and trudge towards the building.

“Fine, but I’m leaving early.”

“We’ll see.”

We head inside and over to the elevator. I let him hit the buttons and soon we’re being taken all of the way up to the top floor. As soon as we step off, the office grows quiet. Everyone knows now that the boss is back and they’re all terrified to have his attention on them.
