Page 11 of Dear Billionaire Boss

“I thought a lot about what happened over the last few days and I think I finally understand why you pulled away from me. It was selfish of me to expect you to take all the risks that being together would entail. You are nothing, if not professional, and I respect you all the more for it.”

“What are you saying?”

“I’m saying that if you were to work for Abigail, I wouldn’t be your boss. And if I’m not your boss, then maybe you’d consider taking me on as your boyfriend, your fiancé, your husband, forever and ever.”

I can’t help but laugh, feeling true joy for the first time in almost a week since the first moment he kissed me.

“I think you’re getting a little head of yourself there.”

He smiles. “Did you open the letter I returned?”

I feel my pocket and pull it out. Grayson smiles when he sees I’m holding onto it. I pull out the letter from the envelope and unfold it. My eyes move down the page but stop when I see that Grayson’s added something at the end.

P.S. I love you too.

Always and forever yours,

G

I look up at him in surprise. His smile is nearly as wide as his face. I don’t care that we are surrounded by people. I don’t care what people will think. I just know that it’s been way to long since our last kiss and I won’t ever let that much time pass between us before we kiss again.

Epilogue

GRAYSON

What started out as a one-time company party, has become a yearly tradition thanks to my wife. Each year that followed that first party, she’s outdone herself. Employee morale has steadily increased thanks in part to the anticipation of what each year will bring.

After Maren left to work for Abigail, I was eager to make sure that she and I made up for lost time. And despite asking her almost a month after the party to marry me, Maren wanted to make sure that she got her own career going with event planning and within eighteen months, Abigail made Maren a partner.

“Hon, where have you been hiding?” Maren asks, holding out a cone of blue cotton candy for me.

I grab a piece and stuff it in my mouth. “I just needed to grab something up in my office.”

“It’s not time for work.” She frowns playfully at me. “Look around you, it’s time to play like the rest of us.”

“I know.” I pull her into my arms. “But it’s important and it can’t wait.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a letter.”

“Please tell me your assistant didn’t send you a love letter by mistake too.”

I roll my eyes. “No, Sebastian has not sent me a love letter—yet.”

“You wish.” She laughs. “Have you seen his boyfriend?”

I pull out the letter from the adoption agency and hand it to her. Her eyes widen in surprise.

“Is that what I think it is?”

“Open it and find out.”

Despite our continued attempts to have a baby, the doctors said it wasn’t in our cards. But there are plenty of kids in the world looking for a loving home that Maren and I could give.

I watch Maren open the letter and read over the good news that we’ve been selected by a birth mother. Our baby will be born just before Christmas, giving us the best gift in the world.

“We’re having a baby.” She looks up at me, tearing brimming in her eyes.

“Yep.”

“It’s really happening this time?”

I nod. Maren throws her arms around my neck and I hold her tightly against me. I couldn’t have imagined one letter would change my life so drastically, but I guess it’s fitting that another letter will make our world complete.
