Chapter 17

Jaiden smiled,though it seemed forced.“I’m a bit busy right now,getting to know the company and coming up to speed on projects.I’ll take a raincheck on that lunch,okay?”Then he turned his back on her.“Why don’t we go to my office and I’ll show you what I need help with?”

I saw Heather’s glower over Jaiden’s shoulder,but made no comment.I simply nodded and followed him to the elevator,then up two floors to the Finance department.

The layout was similar to that of HR,and I recognized a few of the staff,though they were all buried in spreadsheets and such,from what I could tell as I passed.Once we reached Jaiden’s office,he indicated a chair and I sat as he got comfortable behind his desk.
