“Alright,” Liam said, understanding Michael’s concerns and not pushing him. “But don’t take too long to decide. We need time to set everything up.”

Michael’s gaze grew serious. “Got it.”

Liam stood up and headed for the door.

Michael watched Liam leave and asked, “Do you think Jeffrey’s gonna catch wind of this?”

“Not a chance,” Liam replied. He’d jumped through plenty of hoops to make sure everything was airtight. “At most, he might notice that some folks in the extended family aren’t too happy about Rebecca being around. But he’ll never connect it back to us.”

“Alright then,” Michael said, finally feeling more at ease.

Rebecca arrived at the Quinn Group a little over forty minutes later.

Tom parked the car and, making a show of it, opened the door for her and gave a dramatic bow. “Ms. Jensen, please step out.”

Mark rolled his eyes. “So extra.”

Tom shot back, “You just don’t get it–it’s called a sense of ceremony.”

Rebecca: “…”

‘Are they really arguing over this?‘ Rebecca wondered to herself.

Whenever Mark was around Tom, it was like someone flipped a switch. “Ms. Jensen’s the boss now. Bosses are supposed to be serious, capable, and all about efficiency.”

“That’s just a stereotype,” Tom said, shutting the car door after Rebecca got out. “Being the boss is a title, not a personality trait.”

Rebecca shot him a look.

Tom took the chance to press her. “Right, Ms. Jensen?”

Rebecca nodded. “Yeah.”

Mark’s brow furrowed just a bit.

‘Hold up, did I just stumble on something huge?‘ Mark thought, a little stunned.
