"Please take a seat," Xander said as he guided Brandon and me to our seats.

He didn't seem at all like the big boss he was supposed to be.

Because of this, I was sure that if it weren't for Brandon's hidden identity, Xander would never be acting this way.

Xander paused for a moment. He glanced at Brandon and then smiled. "There's nothing inappropriate about it. We're all colleagues here, like family."

I gave a teasing smile. "But you're still the boss. For you to treat us this way makes us a little uneasy."

"Mr. Roulder, you don't have to be so polite. Otherwise, we might not enjoy this meal in peace," Brandon chimed in.

Xander quickly waved his hands. "Don't overthink it. I'm just someone who doesn't put on airs and doesn't like to be formal. I prefer to keep things friendly, right, Mr. Howell?"

I was taken aback. "Mr. Roulder, did you invite someone else today?"

"Yes, I did. Someone you've been wanting to meet." Xander gave me a playful wink.
