Chapter 0058
After lunch, Logan called me into his office. Dylan still hadn’t responded, and I was thankful for the
distraction from waiting for one.
“I would like you to help me plan another party,” Logan said as soon as I had entered his office. “You’re very good at those.” He smiled at me.
I smiled back. This was way better than being ignored. “Yes, you got it! What’s the occasion?” I asked, taking a seat and opening my notebook,
1 want to introduce my wife to everyone here. I feel it’s important for them to meet her, since she’s now technically part of this company as well.”
My pen froze above the page. The last thing I had heard about his wife was that they were getting a divorce. “Oh! Uh…”
He laughed. “I understand your confusion. My wife and I have been trying to work things out. I would really like to, if I can.”
“That’s great sir,” I smiled at him. “Did you have any particular date in mind for the party?”
I wrote down all the details he had already worked out as he said them, but my mind was elsewhere. They’d been trying to work things out…Natalie suddenly had way more dates, and that purse she got that I swear I helped pick out…the coincidences just kept coming.
I closed my notebook after he gave me the dates and the food ideas he had for the party. Then I stood to leave.
“Anything else before I go, sir?” I asked.
“Yes, just one more thing.” he said.
He opened the top middle drawer of his desk and pulled out a small black envelope. He handed it to me. The front of it read, “Dayspring Spa and Resort.” I looked at him, confused.
“Take the rest of the day off,” he smiled. “I’ve booked you a massage that starts in…” he looked at his watch, “one hour. I’ve arranged for a driver to pick you up and drop you off from your home, so you should probably get going now.”
My mouth fell open. “Oh, sir, this is too much…”
“No, it’s not,” he said, looking downward. “I was terrible to you. You’ve been nothing short of amazing and I …I’m sorry. Please, go, enjoy. You deserve it.”
I was so overcome with emotion that I ran over to Logan and threw my arms around his neck before I even realized what I was doing. After a moment, he wrapped his around my waist and pulled me in close.
I was stunned by his response. His embrace felt so….warm and kind. His strong arms tightened around me and he gently rested his head on my shoulder. This suddenly seemed like more than just a “hey thanks!” hug between coworkers. My heart leapt at the thought
As tough as it was, I pulled away first, not wanting to seem any more unprofessional than I already had been. “I uh…,” I blushed. “Thank you so much!” I said, then headed for the door.

He gave me a small wave and a smile as he walked over to close the door behind me.
I took a second at my desk before gathering my stuff to leave. I was probably just imagining things, surely that was just a friendly hug. Logan is trying to work things out with his wife, he wouldn’t jeopardize that. Especially with someone like me.
I shut my computer down and grabbed my purse. I waved through the glass at Logan before I left, eager to get to my massage appointment.
Logan waved back at Hazel and watched her until she was out of sight.
He was kicking himself internally. Why had he let himself hug her like that? He’s never let any of his other secretares even give him so much as a handshake. But the way she wrapped her arms around his neck…. her sweet, kind, innocent embrace…he couldn’t help but feel like pulling her in close to him.
