Reese kissed my cheek, taking the box of goodies. "Thanks for giving these to us. We’re going to need some of your magic treats right before Gran and Dad meet."

"Have fun," I told her with a meaningful glance. Things had gotten really crazy for her after the interview. She was constantly fielding requests for more interviews. The good part was that no one had heard a single thing from Malcolm. But it was good for Reese to spend a few weeks in London, getting away from all this.

The room was silent for a few seconds after they left, and then Travis cleared his throat. "Anyone else stunned speechless? No, just me?"

Declan put an arm around my shoulders. "Hey, I want Gran to be happy."

"Yeah, me too," Travis explained. "I didn't expect this. And why wouldn’t she want us to meet him? What do you think?" he asked, glancing at Luke, who shrugged.

"I have a long day ahead of me, and I want my head clear."

"Oh, come on, dude. You can always indulge in some Maxwell gossip," Travis said.

"I suppose I have a few minutes," Luke replied.

Just then, Greta poked her head in. "I’ve got a Miss Holmes here, Luke. Says she’s supposed to meet your head of HR. Want me to tell her to wait, or do you want to talk to her?”

"I'm coming," he said.

"Great." Greta took a step back, and I could see Miss Holmes from where I stood. We all could. She was pacing the entrance area.

"Fuck," Luke exclaimed.

I jerked my head in his direction. "What's wrong? Do you know her?"

All eyes were on Luke now. "You could say that. I won't go into detail right now."

Travis cocked a brow.

Declan stepped closer to Luke. "Act professionally. What happened before you met can't be held against you in a court of law."

Luke ran a hand through his hair. "Thanks, brother. That concern wasn't even on my radar. I have other things to worry about." He did look tense. "I'll tell you everything later. I don't want to keep her waiting."

As he stepped out, I took a good look at the woman. Her eyes widened, shock evident on every inch of her face.

"This will be fun,” Travis said.

Declan chuckled. “Definitely looks like that.”
