Edward looked a little surprised, then he smiled. “So, are you planning to come work for me?”

“I don’t want to work at your company,” I said honestly. I’ve thought it through–if things ever went south between us, I’d have to make a messy exit.

“Alright, let’s talk about it after I’ve had some time to rest,” I replied, not turning down his offer.
