the world for her to be there. When she awoke in the middle of the night, she was more confused than ever.
Chapter Ten
Sunny slept late the next morning. When she awoke, she remembered the dream she’d had the night before. I have got to get a handle on my feelings for my boss. With each passing day, I find myself more and more attracted to him.
She dressed and went into the kitchen. Alice and the children had apparently already left on their outing. John was nowhere to be seen either, he must have gone with them.
There was a fresh pot of coffee and some sweet rolls on the counter with a note attached. It was from Alice, telling her that she, John and the children were out for the day and to enjoy herself. She also told her she knew the boss would be home tonight and that he wanted to speak to Sunny alone when he arrived. She had drawn a smiley face in the shape of a heart on the bottom of the note.
Oh, Alice, you sweetheart. You and Alma are such romantics . She sat down at the bar and decided to take her coffee and rolls to the patio. She sat in the lounge chair and as she sipped the steaming hot coffee, her thoughts returned to the talk she and Chase were supposed to have that evening. Why the mystery?
She spent the rest of the morning trying to figure out his plan and when she came up with nothing, decided to read a book instead.
She fell asleep, reading. When she awoke and looked at her watch, she jumped up. It was six o’clock. Where was everyone? She went inside to find the other four at the table eating pizza.
“Hello, sleepyhead, you looked so peaceful we hated to wake you.” John grinned.
“I’m so sorry.”
“What are you sorry about? It’s your day off. If you want to sleep, that’s your choice. Now sit down and have some pizza. These kiddos are tired and after they’ve eaten, I’m going to draw them both a bath and get them ready for bed.” Alice looked pointedly at Sunny, knowing Chase had asked for the kids to be put to bed early.
“I can do that, Alice. You have to be tired after a day with these two.”
“ All right, I’ll let you do that. I believe I’ll turn in early tonight myself.”
Sunny helped herself to pepperoni pizza and got up to get a Coke out of the fridge. She noticed Brice was about to fall asleep in his plate.
After getting them bathed and in bed, she decided she had just enough time to take a quick shower before Chase returned.
She had just dressed in a casual pair of lounging pants and a tee shirt when there was a knock on the bathroom door. She opened it to let Chase into her bedroom.
“Is it okay to talk in here? I don’t want to go back out and we’ll be undisturbed here.”
“It’s fine. Let’s sit on the love seat over there. I have some wine. Would you like a glass?”
“My nanny keeps wine in her room. Should I be worried?” he teased as he accepted a glass.
“Not at all, I sometimes like a glass of wine to unwind in the evenings. I hope sweet red is okay, it’s my favorite.”
“I’m not worried about you in the least, Sunny. And sweet red is fine with me. If it’s your favorite, we’ll have it every day.”
“ I don’t think we need to go to that extreme.” She giggled. “Now, tell me what’s going on? You’ve kept me in suspense long enough.” She sat next to him.
“Sunny, I don’t know how to begin…” He looked her square in the eyes, took another sip of wine, and went on. “I told you a large chain is trying to take over my company, but I didn’t tell you everything. The company is owned by a man and his daughter, Lindy. Lindy has been trying to get me in her bed since before Brittney died. My guess is she plans to convince me to marry her. After she gets her claws in my company, she’ll divorce me, leaving me with nothing.”
“That’s horrible, are you sure that ’s what she’s up to? Maybe she genuinely wants you.”
“There ’s nothing genuine about Lindy, believe me. But being the sweet person
