Free The Future of Love (Bachelor Billionaire #6) by Sharon Cummin Page B

You
okay?” she asked.
    “ Perfect,”
he said with what she knew was a forced smile.
    What
was his problem, she wondered? She walked back to her desk and
flopped down into her chair. When she reached down to open her
browser so she could continue looking for a place, she felt a piece
of paper on her keyboard. It was folded in half. She opened it and
couldn't believe what it was. It was Kyle's phone number. The words
above it said “Let me know when you're available to come check
out my house.” She looked at that paper over and over, shocked
that he had left it on her desk. Without a moment of hesitation, she
programmed his name and number into her phone. He had just been cold
in the hallway, but he had left her that note. She was more confused
than ever.
    Ethan
and Kyle spent a little over an hour with Gavin before leaving
without her seeing them. She didn't want to seem too eager, but she
didn't want Kyle to change his mind. The thought of spending time
with him sent a shiver through her body. Even if it was only once to
look at his house, she was taking him up on the offer. Gavin walked
into his office and shut the door. Jenny pulled her phone out and
started a message.
    Jenny:
I'm usually available after six on weekdays and all day on weekends.
You're the one with the busy schedule. Seeing as you don't have an
assistant, you can check your own schedule. :-) When would you like
to show me your place?
    She
didn't get a reply right away and couldn't help the nervous feeling
she had. Was he just doing it to be nice, or did he really want to
show her? What would Gavin say if he knew Kyle invited her over?
Becky would laugh and make fun of her. She had been trying to figure
out Kyle the entire week in Hawaii. Jenny's thoughts went back to the
previous week. There were times he was defensive and crabby, but
there were also times he was sweet and caring. Who was Kyle, she
wondered? She had only found out a few small things about is life
while they were there. What else didn't she know about him?
    She
was just cleaning up the conference room from Gavin's meetings he'd
had that day and was glad he wouldn't be as busy the next day. Her
phone was on the table while she cleaned out the trash and washed
down the counter in the corner where she had coffee sitting during
the day. When her phone vibrated and moved around, she wanted it to
be Kyle but was sure it was Gavin looking for her. She was pleasantly
surprised when she brought the screen to life.
    Kyle:
Are you busy tonight?
    She
quickly replied.
    Jenny:
No.
    Kyle:
Are you sure your dad will let you out of house?
    Jenny:
Very funny. Nevermind.
    Kyle:
I was just kidding. I'll be home around seven tonight. Ethan's ass
finally left. I'll pick up something to eat. We're both leaving late.
You can just eat at my house.
    Jenny:
You don't have to do that. I can stop and get something if you'd
like. What do you want?
    Kyle:
I'll get it. Be there at seven.
    Jenny:
Yes, sir. Maybe you don't need an assistant after all.
    Kyle
didn't respond to her text for a few minutes, and she'd started to
worry that she had upset him. It was much easier to be sarcastic in
writing than it was in person. Just before six, he sent a text with
only his address. She wasn't sure it was a good idea to go to his
house after all. If he was in a bad mood, she really didn't want to
make it worse. It seemed like every time she opened her mouth, she
was offending him.
    Jenny
decided to stay a bit late and go to Kyle's straight from work. If
she left at her regular time, she'd walk in the door at Gavin's and
have to leave right away again. Being gone that whole week had put
her behind a bit on her work anyway. Gavin had gone to a meeting and
was going home from there. Jenny really didn't want to take the
chance of having to explain herself to him or Becky. He wouldn't even
realize she was still at the office anyway.
    She'd
gotten a lot accomplished during that extra hour she was there. When
she walked out to her car,
