“We don’t have to talk about it, or about anything anymore. I’m done. I already told Siobhan I would pay for the damages my sudden resignation.”

“What?” he frowned. His confusion was so palpable it wrinkled his forehead. “Why do you think I even care about money The money is yours; keep it. I am here because I want you back, Andi.”

I wish I could speak about money as if it were so trivial that I could give it away to people like candy. But I have my pride and I will still insist that Siobhan take the money back. I am not a charity case, and I don’t want to owe anything to this m

Like I said, I am done. Siobhan will find you another maid by the end of the day.” I said so casually I leaned on my seda tared at the winding road etched on the side of the mountain.

wish I were in a different scenario. This place would have been so beautiful if I weren’t trapped in this car with my hoss “No,” he groaned out. “I won’t allow it.”

What has gotten into him? Why was he being so stubborn? His frown was so deep his eyebrows were already knitting in th niddle.

‘You won’t allow it? What are you, my mother?” I snapped. He can’t tell me what to do or not to do anymore. As of last nig don’t work for him anymore.

His nostrils flared, his jaw clenched as he twisted and faced me fully. There was a fire in his eyes that wanted to turn me to ishes in the passenger seat. He bestowed on me his full undivided attention as he said. “Do you know how hard it is for me o say the words I’m sorry?” He started. “You and my mother were the only ones who heard me say that. So why can’t you quit being stubborn and just go back to the estate with me?”

blinked at him, stunned. Did he really mean that? But his sincerity was still thick in the air. But what he said wasn’t Comforting, though. If anything, it scared me more.

You’re my boss,” I said. “Or you were, and you kissed me! On the mouth! I can’t work with you anymore. It’s not right.”

He swallowed hard, guilt flickering across his face. “You’re right.”

That surprised me. Did I hear him correctly?

I crossed a line,” he said. “And I have already apologized for that.”

The wind rolled through the open fields beside us, rustling the tall grass. The bay shimmered in the distance, calm and ndifferent to the mess inside this car.

I don’t want you to quit,” he said carefully. “But I also don’t want you to stay against your will. You don’t owe me anything. ind I don’t own you.”

laughed softly, bitterly. “Right? Thank god we’re finally on the same page.”

de winced again, then he reached over the console and gently cupped my chin with his fingers. My mouth hung open and ny pulse skyrocketed. I blinked at him, confused. Is he going to kiss me again?

Instinctively, my hand snapped over the door, ready to jump out of this thing even if I had to break the window.

Mischief sparkled in his eyes as he saw my hand trembling, and so did my lips. “But I want you to know that kiss didn’t feel ike a mistake, Andi,” he said. His confession hung between us, fragile and terrifying. His smoldering eyes trailed over my face, as though committing it to memory.

My breath hitched. “What?”
