He raised a brow.
"Yeah? Your employer? The guy who showed up while we were talking—"
"I - I Know who Mr. Sinclair is, Trent.’ I sighed.
"Okay."
He nodded.
"Then you better hurry up.
He doesn't like to wait: Oh God! How could I face him after all those things I'd said to him last night? Trent cleared his throat.
"Caroline? Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
I nodded and without another thought, left the office and stood at his door debating if I should knock or not.Déja vu!
You got this, Care.
I lifted my hand and knocked on the door.
He told me to come in and I slowly opened the door, resisting the urge to peek my head in before running away.
His eyes lifted up from his laptop and I felt a shiver run down my spine.
"Mr.Sinclair"
I managed to keep my voice from wavering.
Then, as unexpected as it was, a smile formed on his lips and it somehow soothed my nerves.
"Good morning, Caroline.’ "Good morning, Mr.Sinclair."
"Sleep well?"he asked.
"Uh-I..."
His question caught me off guard but I nodded anyway.
"How is the hangover?"
His index finger rubbed his chin.
My mouth opened slightly.
"I-I...You were there last night,’ I breathed out.
"Yes, I was,’ he smirked.
"I'm sorry,’ I muttered.
"I didn't mean all that"
"That's okay.Nothing I haven't heard before.’’ I can bet on the sweat part.
I was suddenly reminded of something he'd said.
I find it pretty hot that I made you sweat like that.
Oh my God! He said that to me.
"So, Caroline, are you feeling like working today or would I be too bossy if I gave you some work?"
He was trying to suppress a laugh.
I could actually cry right there.
"Mr.Sinclair, I-"
"Nick,’ he cut me off.
"What?"
I blinked in confusion.
"You can Call me Nick.’’ I can? "Oh, okay...Nick."
Why was I so awkward with my employers’ first names? I wasn't even used to calling Mr.
Andrews Blake yet.
"And ‘' I spoke to have his attention but his eyes had never left me, "I Saw something unusual on my desk a while ago."
