They all erupt into cheers before I can finish.
“Celeste, you didn’t have to do that,” Kinzie says, giving me a hug. She just finished her web design degree and has a lot of loans.
“Wow, these brownies are amazing,” Amir groans.
“They’re my favorite.”
“Seriously, after they fired you. You came back, bought their space, made a company, and kept us from being without a job,” he adds. Amir has a family and works as my head of IT.
“A lot of that was my husband.” He added the extra start-up capital I needed without taking a loan.
He shakes his head. “No, it was still you. It’s your company and that meant hiring who you wanted. He made it clear that we could have been on the unemployment line and you’re the reason we’re here.” Damn Lennox for telling them the truth.
“I do love that man.”
“He’s pretty cool, but you’re a savage all on your own. This firm is all your baby. He may have given you the push in the right direction and even a little capital, but we’re here because you know how to market.”
“Thank you. I still can’t do it without all of you. So I hope you have a wonderful break because we’re all back in January.” I stay with them a few more minutes, but I have to get back to work. There are a couple of projects I need to touch up on personally before I can officially close up the office and enjoy the holiday with my family.
It took longer than I expected, so I called the daycare and informed them that I’ll be another ten minutes and they assured me that everything is wonderful and the boys are still napping, which is their norm for this time of day. Smiling, I finish up and as I get ready to close up, I see a dark shadow framing my office door. Looking up, I see my sexy husband.
“You’re not supposed to be here, Mrs. Masterson.”
“Then what are you doing creeping in my office, Sir. Come to spy on company secrets?”
“No, I had a feeling you didn’t leave yet and I was right. Come on. You’re always the last to leave. We have a long day tomorrow and I don’t want you exhausted.”
“You are my hero.”
“I’m nothing of the sort. I’m just a man obsessed with his beautiful wife.”
“You’re my obsessed hero. Today went perfect thanks to you.”
“Today went perfect because you’re an amazing owner who loves her job and cares about her employees.”
“You’re an amazing husband and I’m so excited to share this life with you and our boys.” I brush my lips against his before whispering, “And soon to be our little one here.”
His eyes open wide, giving me a super sexy smile. “You’re pregnant.”
“Surprise.” I grin and then jump into his arms. “Merry Christmas.”
“Merry Christmas, baby.”
