Page 10 of Sharing Shadow Secrets (High Five Novella #6)

T aylor essentially live texted me her dinner. It was cute, seeing all the photos of her meal and a couple of her holding some of the more artsy dishes. She’s a nice girl, not jaded by these things.

While the bank’s building has a futuristic architecture style, this conference room is bland, a whole new take on minimalism. Maybe the chairs are intentionally uncomfortable to encourage short meetings?

I glance around the room. There’s nothing on the walls, but the view of Zurich’s city center is breathtaking.

If it’s three in the afternoon here, then it’s eight in the morning in Chicago. Finally, I can text Taylor back without it seeming too early.

Brandon

Greetings from Zurich. I made the photo of you with the dessert your contact photo.

She looked incredible last night, and I wish I could have been there.

Taylor

Thanks again. We had so much fun. When do you come back from Germany?

Brandon

I’ll be back on the twentieth but will be jet lagged so don’t want to commit to anything before the 23rd.

Taylor

Did you ask me out? If so, I missed that text.

I love the sass.

Brandon

Let me make it up to you on the 23rd. We will talk about the book. Because I have questions. Let’s get dinner then?

Taylor

Considering this offer.

I chuckle softly before a group of guys in suits enter the conference room, joining me and the advisors from my dad’s team at the table.

Brandon

Time to sign documents. Talk later. You take care of business too. I want to hear an update about your company.
