His First Lady by Kym Davis Boyles Read Free Book Online

Greg’s statement. The way something appeared on the outside could be so different from the inside.
    “Have you ever thought about getting remarried?” Evan asked watching Greg scrunch his forehead while staring at the computer screen as if baffled.
    Greg quickly looked up at Evan. His look caused Evan to immediately regret asking the question. Although she had been curious since it had been almost six years since his wife had died in a car accident; she didn’t know how he felt talking about it since he never did; at least not that she knew of.
    Evan placed her hand over her mouth. “I apologize, Greg. That was so out of line.”
    Greg shook his head and seemed to force a smile. “Don’t apologize. I won’t rule it out.”
    Evan’s eyebrows rose in surprise. “Good,” Evan said.
    “I guess my standards are too high since I can’t seem to find a woman that can compare to Cara although I know that’s a little unfair.”
    “A lot unfair,” Evan said.
    There was silence between the two as Greg went back to pecking on the keyboard. Evan had gotten her answer and she knew of so many women in the church who loved the Lord and would have loved to also have a chance with Greg. She had tried more than once to get him to ask Mimi out on the sly but he never took the bait. Then again Mimi was a little more woman than he might have wanted seeing she didn’t have much of a filter.
    “I pray you find that.”
    Greg smiled. “I’m concentrating on Jesus. It sounds cliché but it’s true. He’s got a plan and his is much better than mine, First lady. But I do pray to one day have that boldness like Paul that your husband has,” Greg said as he continued typing on the keyboard.
    Evan’s eyes opened curiously. She had never thought Leon’s cockiness could be compared to Paul.
    Greg stopped typing and rebooted Evan’s computer. “I’m going to let this reboot and then you should be good to go.”
    “Thank you.” Evan sat down in the chair in front of her desk as Greg continued sitting at her desk. As she waited, she noticed the papers on her desk that Greg had in his hand. She tried not to be obvious as she looked a little closer to see that it was papers about property that the church was interested in. Greg looked over at her and saw her looking down at the papers.
    “What do you think about the property that the church is looking into buying?”
    Evan shrugged; Greg had it wrong. It wasn’t the church looking into buying it, it was Leon.
    “Leon has big plans. You?”
    The computer beeped. “Oh, there you go. You’re up and running.” Greg stood up. “I think you’re good to go, First lady.”
    “Please call me Evan.” Evan stood.
    “Alright First lady,” Greg said almost as if not hearing her at all. He stopped and looked at Evan. “I did it again, didn’t I?” They both laughed as if on cue at his mistake. The more Greg laughed, the more Evan found herself laughing.
    “I’ll do better. But it won’t be easy.” Greg managed to get out with a chuckle.
    Evan looked up at Greg and they shared a smile. Greg immediately looked away. He cleared his throat looking uncomfortable before Mimi’s hard knock caused them both to look towards Evan’s office door.
    “Hey,” Mimi walked in with a surprised smile on her face as both Evan and Greg looked over at her.
    “How are you Mimi?” Greg asked as he gathered the papers he walked in with.
    “I’m fine,” Mimi responded with a slick smile. “and you?”
    “I’m great.” He looked over at Evan. “I think you’ll be fine. Let me know if I can do anything else to help.”
    Evan nodded. “Thank you very much, I really appreciate it,”
    Greg nodded then walked out of the office.
    “Let me get my purse,” Evan said to Mimi before fumbling through her desk drawer for her purse. Mimi closed the door and crossed her arms. When Evan looked up Mimi was glaring at her.
    “What was that about?” Mimi asked.
    “What are you talking
