Maia had no time to say anything when Buck gave Hope another piece of chicken.

“Ms. Maia is your boss during working hours, but she’s your older sister when we’re off work. As your sister, I’m sure she wants you to be fed well. Weight management isn’t as important.”

Buck looked at Maia and grinned widely. “Am I right, Ms. Maia?”

“Aren’t you a little too obvious, Buck? You didn’t want her to care about her weight because you care about her?” Maia teased him..

“Hope is your younger sister, Ms. Maia. And I’m your assistant. It’s my duty to express concern on your behalf.”

“So that’s how it works!” Maia was not done teasing him. Buck was even more embarrassed now. Hope noticed nothing amiss and proceeded to give Buck some mashed potatoes.

“Thank you, Buck. Here, you should eat more! Next time, dinner’s on me!”

“That won’t be necessary. I can’t let a lady treat me to a meal. I’ll take care of the bill.”

Maia burst into laughter when she saw the way they were going back and forth. She continued to tease them.

“What did you say, Buck? Maia’s the worst? How’s that possible?” Hope stared at him, not understanding the reason behind his words. Maia, on the other hand, caught his drift.
