.I used to maintain the website as well.” She grinned.“I can’t tell you how glad I am to let that go.We’re looking for retail space in Evansville, and eventually we’ll expand from there.We’re also developing a catalog.My hands are already more than full.”“What does Ted do?” Warmth flooded her cheeks.It was a reasonable question under the circumstances, right? They were talking about what everybody did, and it wasn’t like she was more interested in him than in anyone else.Because she wasn’t.“Honestly, Ted is the backbone of L&L.He’s been taking care of the order processing, shipping, payroll and all of the business administration stuff.” Paige’s expression grew solemn.“Frankly, we’ve all been a little worried about him lately.”“Oh?” Cory’s curiosity piqued, she straightened.“Why is that?”“He’s been unhappy.He snaps and snarls at everyone.Noah believes it’s because he has too much on his plate.He’s hoping having you take over a few of his responsibilities will help.” She shrugged.“I think it’s more than that.”“Like?”“He’s worked around the clock for the past five years and needs a break.” She leaned back in her chair and stretched.“My brother had the woodworking skills, but Langford & Lovejoy Heritage Furniture was all Ted’s idea.Noah agreed to form a partnership with him on the condition that Ted get his business degree.He did, plus a master’s, all the while putting in a ton of hours here.If you ask me, he’s suffering from burnout.”Cory pondered what Paige had shared, along with what she’d heard in the hallway on her way to the conference room this morning.Ted’s issues went deeper than burnout.She was sure of it.What ate at him? “Why doesn’t he take a vacation?”“Good question.”Maybe she’d ask him once she had the chance.Then again, his problems were none of her business.As if he’d heard them talking about him, Ted appeared in the doorway with several papers in his hand.“You can fill these out this afternoon.” He laid them on her desk.“Are you two ready for lunch? The crew’s already headed over.Noah and Ryan are waiting downstairs.”Ready for lunch in an unfamiliar setting with a group of men she didn’t know? Hell, no, but she wasn’t ready for this job either.She wouldn’t have taken it if Brenda’s words hadn’t scared her shitless.They’d ignited a tiny flame of self-preservation and whatever fight she had left in her.Brenda had been right.If she didn’t take a step in the right direction now, she’d end up an agoraphobic with no life and serious hygiene issues.“Sure.” She rose from her place and waited for Paige to precede her.“Have you met the day crew?” Ted held the elevator door open for them.The interior of the freight elevator loomed dark and sinister before her, and once again her heart raced, sending a chill down her spine.She swiped a palm over her damp forehead.“Um…I think I’ll take the stairs.”Ted’s face fell.“Oh, right.Sure.”She moved a little closer to Paige, relieved when they moved toward the stairway.“Bunny introduced me to the crew when I got here.”Paige snorted.“How does a guy like Wesley Holt get a nickname like Bunny?”“It’s from when we were kids.He’s the oldest of five, and he had to keep an eye on all of his younger siblings.His sister and I are best friends, so I was usually included in any games they played.Wes is fast.Nobody could catch him in a game of tag or capture the flag.Somebody said he was quick like a bunny, so we all started calling him Bunny.”Ted smiled, his expression warm.“And Squirrel?”“I was the resident tree-climbing expert.I started out as Monkey, but Wes said there weren’t any monkeys native to Indiana.So the Holt clan changed my nickname to Squirrel.” They left the stairs and walked into the production area.“Kid stuff.”Stuff that had given her a sense of home after the rug had been ripped out from under her when her dad died.The Holts gave her a place to belong, and even if they were a ragtag bunch, they’d stuck together and protected one another.They joined Ryan and Noah, leaving by the front door to walk to the diner with Noah leading the way.Ryan and Paige held hands in front of her, while she and Ted took up the rear.She checked out the town of Perfect as they walked.Nice.Well maintained and litter free, the small town had an old-timey feel to it, as if the redbrick and limestone office buildings and storefronts had seen a lot of history [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
