A few days later...
I wanted things to be special for her. Being in a real relationship again, let alone with my future wife, I was constantly trying to figure out Maeve's love languages, but I also knew what she deserved. It'd been a few days since the company's New Year's Eve party, and Maeve was now back at work.
It was Tuesday, but I still wanted to make today special. I planned to take her out to dinner tonight at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the city...but the surprise won't stop there. The arrangements and things that I've organized this past week have been tiresome, but Maeve deserved a little celebration.
As I answered a few last-minute emails, there was a knock on my door.
Fuck...I wanted to be out of here by 3:30.
"Come in," I announced, glancing at the door, knowing who was going to come in because I knew I didn't have any appointments at this time.
Denver peeked inside, furrowing his brows. "What time is dinner tonight again?" he asked, making me roll my eyes because I'd already told him only a million times.
"Fucking seven," I muttered, logging out of my email account and shutting down my laptop and PC.
"Right," he said, nodding. "Is this hot coworker friend going to be there, or?" he muttered flirtatiously, making me press my lips into a thin line.
I may or may not have told Denver about Sloane about a month ago, but I told him that she had a long-term boyfriend from college. I just simply mentioned that he needed to grow up and stop hooking up with random chicks from dating apps and needed to find a sweet and nice girl like Maeve. He then proceeded to ask me if she had any hot (but sweet and nice) coworkers, and that's when I mentioned Sloane and how she was also a pretty girl.
Motherfucker hasn't let it go, even though he's never met her. And again, he's aware that she has a boyfriend.
"You fuck face...She has a boyfriend, how many times do I have to tell you?" I grimaced at him as I stood up to pack up my laptop and put on my wool coat.
"First of all, are you leaving already? Second of all, will the boyfriend be there or not?" he asked, now stepping inside my office.
I shook my head at him being so desperate. That was the thing about Denver...He was a lethal chaser; he got what he wanted when he wanted. I think that's why he and I worked so well together in business because we were both Alphas per se. That even came down to women; if he wanted something, he got it...even if they had a boyfriend.
