Chapter 182: Uninvited Guest
With lunch over, and with her and Derek having finally come up with a solution to their problem. Emily had thought that it would be smooth sailing from there. And as she had walked back into Haven Group headquarters with Derek walking step by step with her.
Emily had thought that nothing could surprise her for the remainder of that day. And then the moment that she had set foot in her office, that self-assured notion had been thrown out the window.
Having left her office to go to lunch, Emily had not expected to come back and find someone there.
She froze at the door, stunned by the sight of a figure seated at her desk. Behind her, Derek stopped just shy of bumping into her. She knew because she felt the heat of him against her back.
"Emily, what is it?" He asked. Only for him to cut off midway when he saw what it was that she was looking at.
As far as surprises went, coming back from lunch to find somebody sitting in your chair was not a good one. But even if it was not a good surprise, it was also not a bad one.
On occasion, especially when he was having a hissy fit of epic proportions and expected everybody to just bow to his whims, Derek’s uncle was known to just show up in his nephew’s office. Sometimes he was there before Derek was, and other times he just barged in and acted like he owned the place.
But that was Derek.
Such drama, Emily could deal with when it came to him. But she had never in all of her time at Haven Group come into her own office to find somebody there. But that was exactly what was happening.
