Madeline swung the door open, her excitement palpable in her voice.

Derek quickly locked his screen, his expression stern as he reprimanded, “Madeline, I’ve told you before, knock before entering.

Check your computer messages.”

“Okay.”

Derek placed his phone next to the computer, maintaining a poker face, and checked the documents Coen had sent over.

“Darling, I need to get some work done now.

Why don’t you go out and enjoy yourself?” Derek added, planting a kiss on Madeline’s cheek before gently lifting her and setting her down. “Come see me later, alright?”
