His Secretive Lover (The Thorpe Brothers)
“Last night’s escapade was yet another reason she probably shouldn’t even think about the elegant stranger. Most likely, he confronted the people who irritated him head on. Cricket had a knack for being creative, but it was a silly, passive aggressive creativity. Her antics might be amusing, but still…she should just get a new job instead of dealing with Jason Moran’s petty ways. She smiled and sat back down at her desk, working diligently at the tiresome expense reports that had been piling up over the past few days, scowling at the mostly handwritten notes and trying to interpret the scribbles. Why couldn’t this company automate these reports? She’d submitted a proposal to do just that last month, had even included the cost of a relatively simple software program that would expedite the whole process and help employees get their reimbursement checks more quickly. Unfortunately, she hadn’t heard a word from Jason Moran. His silence told her that there was no way he was going t...o spend any money on something like a basic software package, even if it saved him more money in the long run. When she finished one expense report and set it up to be processed for payment, she pulled the next one forward, reminding herself that she’d chosen to become an accountant. She could have gotten a degree in any subject but accounting had suited her needs perfectly. And she was pretty good at it too. One had to have the ability to pay attention to small details to get this job done well which meant that the skills her mother and father had taught her growing up were perfectly suited to being an accountant. So what if she hated every moment of her day? It paid well and gave her the sense of security that she needed. That feeling was more important than loving one’s job. She’d hated the insecurity growing up, wishing desperately that her parents hadn’t been so good at their chosen profession. So no matter how much she loathed this job, she reveled in that sense of peace. This job might be mind-numbingly boring and tedious but it kept her out of prison, which is something her parent’s occupation couldn’t guarantee. Her mind was focusing on the expense reports but, once she got into a rhythm, she was able to whip through the stack in record time. There were a few that had messy handwriting and nonsensical amounts but most were pretty straightforward. Those were so easy she could almost do them in her sleep. “Hey Cricket,”MoreLess
