He swallowed, his voice hesitant. "Mindy, you... you didn't stop her downstairs,
did you?"
Mindy looked confused. "Huh? Why? Didn't you say to block any weird women who show up without an
appointment? She didn't have one, and she asked for the CEO by name, so | did what you told me."
John slapped his thigh in frustration. "Mindy, seriously? Why would you stop her? Let her up—no, wait, I'll go get
her myself!"
Mindy stared at him, wide-eyed. "What's going on, cousin? Does she really know the boss?"
"Know him? It's way more than that!" John rushed out of his office, heading straight for the elevators. "She's the

Mindy's screw-up?
Please, God, save me.
But the disaster he expected didn't happen.
Instead, Joshua just smiled. "| like that 'CEO's wife." Let's stick with it."
"Con, let's go greet her," Joshua said, turning toward the elevators.
John froze for a second.
Wait-so he wasn't getting fired?
Realizing this, John felt a wave of relief and hurried after him.
Downstairs.
Mindy looked at Allison, her nerves all over her face.
