age."
    She instantly lets go of me and walks back to her desk. She looks at me behind her father's back and sticks her tongue out at him. Alistair starts to talk and I try to hide my smile.
    "I guess you're wondering why your office was cleaned out."
    He looks at me and then to his father. "Ah, yeah, I'm a little curious."
    "Don't be a smartass, boy. You'll find your things in there," Alistair says, pointing to the office opposite his. His eyes widen. We both realize he's being promoted to vice president of O'Connell Finance Incorporated.
    " Congratulations, Aiden ," Brielle yells out across the room.
    "Father I ... I don't know what to say."
    "Don't say anything, boy. Just get to work. We have a lot to deal with, including our Tokyo acquisition." He wraps his arm around his son's shoulder and walks him to his new office. I don't follow. I decide to give them time alone together. I walk over to Brielle's desk.
    "Oh, it's going to be so good working with you. I'll be able to help you out with anything you need. This is really like your first day I suppose, so anything you need at all, let me know," she says chirpily.
    I love her enthusiasm. "Of course, I'll probably need heaps of help. I've no idea what I'm doing," I say to her honestly.
    "Don't worry. I'll talk you through everything. We can have lunch together. This is going to be so cool working together. I can't wait."
    I can't help but laugh at her rambling. I head over to my new desk and sit down in the big, comfortable office chair. I turn on my computer. It loads; I type my password and open the email program. Once the emails are downloaded, I start to sort them into importance.
    "Bree?"
    "Yeah?"
    "How do I know whether emails are important or not?"
    She laughs, stands up, and comes over. For the next couple of hours, she sits with me, helping me prioritize while we chat generally about work. Alistair eventually goes back to his office, not seeming to mind that Brielle is helping me.
    The elevator chimes, and a delivery man walks in with a bunch of flowers. I shake my head, Brielle looks up keenly.
    "I have a delivery for Miss Taylor," he announces as Brielle shrieks with excitement.
    I stand up and take the flowers and put them on my desk.
    "Oh my god, they're so pretty. I didn't know my brother was such a romantic."
    "Oh, you have no idea. Get used to it. He has this thing where I'm showered in flowers every Monday."
    Her face lights up. "Oh, that's gorgeous. He's such a softy."
    I sign for the flowers, and the delivery guy leaves. They're a beautiful bunch of tulips in all different colors, red, pink, yellow, purple, and orange. They're simply magnificent. I take the card from the bunch and read.
    My beautiful Jeni,
    I love you more than words can say.
    Thank you for sticking by me, I treasure you more every day.
    I intend to make this first day much better than the last.
    Love you with all my heart.
    Your Aiden, xoxo.
    I hand the card to Brielle; she reads it, and a huge smile crosses her face.
    "I wish Adam was this romantic."
    "Your brother sure is special."
    "I'm glad you guys found each other. You make him so happy, you know?"
    "Thank you. He makes me happy too. I'd better go and thank him," I say while she heads back toward her desk.
    "If I hear any strange noises coming from in there, I'm going to know what's going on."
    I laugh at her and shake my head. "No strange noises, I promise." I knock on his door.
    "Come in."
    I open the door to his new office. The room is spectacular. The view is magnificent, so much so it takes my breath away. The furniture from his old office has been moved with the addition of a few more filing cabinets along the wall. I walk in and see his beaming smile, and I can tell instantly that he's in a good mood. Perhaps he and his father have their relationship back on track.
    "Thank you so much," I say to him shutting the door behind me.
    "For what?"
    "The flowers. You shouldn't waste your money on me like that. I love them,
