” So you’re his best buddy?” Alexa asks Reid.
” And you’re..”
” Alexa. Your new tormentor.” She answers. I climb down the stairs with Gray.
The living room looks busy. Lots of men with black jackets and black dress shirts. Most of them talk amongst themselves with cigarettes on their lips. They look busy. Like they are drawing out a map. Alexa was talking to Reid when we walked in. Manny walks in with Nick as these men stop working.
” Alexa.” Gray says.
” Hi , Mr Carter. This is really weird despite the fact that we’ve met before.” She takes a deep breath and smiles.
Gray smiles warmly at her and nod. His whole demeanor always changes each time he’s around employees. Not that cheeky , flirty, boyfriend. But cold , intimidating and serious. I like both I think. I tuck my hair behind my ear and stand next to Manny.
” Your cousin huh ?” Manny whispers to me.
” Yes. A crazy one.” I whisper back.
