Chapter 20

KATE

"Kate?" Emy called me.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before turning to them with a smile. He looked impeccable, as always. I could see the surprise in his expression, even if only for a split second.

"I'm sorry. I was distracted."

"This is our cousin Nathan. Nathan, this is Kate. A friend."

Heaven! If she only knew.

"Mr. Ryan." I offered a nod.

"Miss Collins."

"Wait, you already know each other?" Bryan asked, perplexed. Emily had the same expression.

"Your cousin is my boss." I forced a smile.

"You work for Nathan?" Bryan seemed incredulous.

Even I was, with this damn coincidence.

"Miss Collins is my new assistant. Started this week."

We exchanged looks the whole time.

"Emily!" Britney shouted, coming down the hallway. "Your Aunt Loren wants to talk to you."

"Let's go, Bryan!"

"I'm coming." He turned his attention back to me. "I'll be back in a little while. Nathan can keep you company for now."

I forced another smile. This was the worst idea I've heard in a long time.
