sat on some beach sipping cocktails. She’d made her choice, he told himself. Walked away from her responsibilities—from him—without a backward glance.
“Well, when I saw Andi earlier, she was doing just fine, in case you were interested...”
He came to attention. “You saw her? Where?”
“Her house.”
Mac frowned out the window at the darkening sky. “She said she was taking her vacation time.”
“And she’s using it to fix up the house she’s barely seen since she bought it.”
He heard the dig in there and he wouldn’t apologize for working so much. And as his assistant, Andi had been expected to spend as much time as he did at the job—and she’d never complained until now.
“With what I pay her as my executive assistant,” he argued, “Andi could have hired crews of men to pull that house together at any point in the last year.”
“Speaking of points,” his sister said, “you’re missing Andi’s entirely. She wants a life, Mac. Something you should think about, too.”
“My life is just fine.”
“Right. It’s why you’re living in the big ranch house all by yourself and the last date you had was with that airhead model who had trouble spelling her own name.”
Mac snorted. She had a point about Jez. But when a man dated a woman like that, he wasn’t worrying about her IQ.
“You realize you’re supposed to be on my side in this?”
“Strangely enough, I am on your side, Mac. You’re the most hardheaded man I’ve ever known—and that includes my darling husband, Rafe.”
“Thanks very much,” he muttered.
“I’m just saying,” Vi went on, “maybe you could learn something from Andi on this.”
“You want me to quit, too? You ready to take over?”
She laughed and he could almost see her rolling her eyes. “A vacation isn’t the end of the world, Mac. Even for you.”
While Vi talked, telling him all about the new nursery she and Rafe were having designed, Mac’s mind once again focused on Andi.
Why in hell she’d all of a sudden gone off the rails, he still didn’t understand. But if she was here in Texas and not being waited on by hot-and-cold-running cabana boys, maybe he could find out.
He smiled to himself. And maybe, he could convince her that quitting this job was the biggest mistake she’d ever made.
