…
Oliver had no idea what had gone down outside his office.
Josefina had fallen asleep in his arms, so he figured he might as well nap with her. Because of that, he missed the whole thing entirely.
It wasn’t until he woke up and checked the security cameras that he saw what had happened.
He called George in.
George, having just splashed cold water on his face, looked way more awake than before.
“Mr. Oliver, you wanted to see me?”
“You kept my uncle Cole out in the hall?”
George tensed, his voice a little shaky. “Yes, Mr. Oliver. I was worried he’d disturb Mrs. Oliver while she was resting.”
George’s heart was pounding. Had he messed up big time?
“Good job,” Oliver said simply.
George’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, Mr. Oliver!”
“Did you handle the thing I asked about?” Oliver pressed.
“All set, sir. You’ll meet them tonight.”
Oliver nodded, satisfied, and waved George off to get back to work.
A few minutes after George left, Josefina woke up.
“What were you two whispering about? Who’s coming tonight?” she asked, stretching lazily.
“You’ll find out tonight,” Oliver said, coming over to her.
Josefina yawned and let him lead her over to the sofa.
“My grandpa called,” Oliver said. “He wants us over for dinner tonight. Are you coming?”
Josefina grinned. “If I don’t go, how will I know who this ‘mystery guest’ is? Tell your grandpa I’ll be there—wouldn’t miss it.”
