All Chapters of Accidentally In Love With You: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Dianna juggled the pile of bakery boxes she was carrying as she tried to knock on Jack’s door. His car wasn’t in the garage, so she was really hoping he wasn’t home, but she knew Riley would be. The door opened, and Rosie smiled at her. “Dianna,” she said pleasantly. “It’s good to see you.” Rosie frowned. “Do you need some help?” “I do,” Dianna replied. “I was hoping you would take some of these tarts off my hands.” “Who’s at the door, Mimi?” Riley said from somewhere inside the apartment. “It’s Dianna, love,” Rosie replied as she eyed the yellow boxes. “Tarts?” Dianna tried really hard not to roll her eyes. “Yes. We had a large delivery of tarts at work today, and there were far too many. I bought some home, hoping you and your family might enjoy them. They’re delicious.” “What’s a tart?” Riley asked. “Like a pie,” Dianna replied. “But without the pastry on top.” She crouched down and flipped open the lid of the top box. “See. These ones are cherry and chocolate and t

Dianna tried to ignore the banging on her door, but her ingrained manners wouldn’t let her. “Just a minute,” she called out before turning back to the game she was playing. “Hang on a sec, Kid,” she said into her headset. “I’ve got to answer my door.” She pulled off her headset and jumped off the couch. Going a few rounds of a fighting game helped rid her of the frustration caused by dealing with Jack. She slid the elastic band out of her hair and retied the messy bun as she crossed through the living room. It was probably Mia or Peyton, they sometimes came and invited her to dinner on a Friday night, especially if the boys were having poker night. The two friends were nice enough, but they weren’t really into the same things as Dianna, although she appreciated their attempts to include her. One thing Dianna did know was that it couldn’t be some random off-the-street knocking on her door. Carter had been very explicit in his explanation of the building security. Dianna

“Jack,” she said, thankful that her voice sounded normal. “Come in and have a seat. Can we get you anything? Coffee?” “I won’t say no to coffee,” he replied, turning his head to Maria and gracing her with a smile. “I’ll get it,” Maria piped up and Dianna tried not to roll her eyes. “How do you have it?” “A long black will be fine,” he replied, turning back to Dianna and stepping further into the office. “Nothing for me,” Dianna said to Maria’s unasked question. Maria nodded and closed the door as she headed out to get Jack’s coffee. Dianna really wished she’d left the door open. Now she was confined in an office with Jack, and he seemed to take up more space than was possible. She cleared her throat and sat, inviting Jack to do the same. He undid the button of his suit coat and sat opposite her. Dianna gripped the desk to steady herself. He was wearing a suit. She didn’t think she’d ever seen him wear a suit before. He usually wore smart casual to work, or that’s what

“No, but I don’t think we need to spend quite this much on catering. Who the hell eats crab puffs, anyway? And do we really need this much champagne?” “Oh, I don’t know, Phil, what do you suggest we toast with when the biggest game in the history of this company goes live? Should I just fill everyone’s cups with sparkling water?” Phil shifted in the doorway, crossing his arms as he glared at Dianna. “Are you on your period?” “What the fuck?” Jack said, rising out of his seat and making Phil jump. He obviously hadn’t known anyone else was in here with Dianna. “Who’re you?” Phil asked, his voice hard. “You can’t bring your boyfriends into work, Dianna.” “This is Jack Daniels,” Dianna said, and the snap of her teeth made Jack worry about her dental work. “And he is a reviewer and video game blogger, and he is shadowing me for the week to do a story on the game and the company.” She stretched the last word out as if trying to convey something to Phil. “Yeah, I’m Jack and I tak

Peyton eyed him for a long moment before answering. They’d already passed Jack’s stop and were headed up to Finn’s apartment, but Jack was interested to hear Peyton’s take on it. “I don’t think anyone can truly see their own prejudices unless someone points it out to them. We are the product of our upbringing to some extent and then society has all these other rules and expectations and they are unfortunately skewed towards men. Unless we actively challenge our core beliefs, then I don’t think we can ever see our own flaws.” Jack nodded. “You’re right,” he said. “I always thought that because of who my mother was and being surrounded by my sisters growing up I had a fairly balanced view of equality, but I don’t, not really.” “You can only know what you know,” Peyton said, patting him on the shoulder as the elevator doors opened. “And when you discover something you don’t know you lean into it, even when it makes you feel uncomfortable. Even when it challenges what you’ve known t
