How am I going to do that? I've never even been around kids before."

"I think you have." "No, I haven't." I shake my head. "Well, you were around kids when you were a kid, right?" "That was many many

years ago." "I mean sure, it was a while ago.” She giggles. “What was it like living with the dinosaur...

"Thanks. I'm going to take that as a compliment." "I don't see why you wouldn't,"

"I'd like to think we're friends as well as boss and employee." He smiles a warm smile that makes me flush, and I raise a

single eyebrow at him as he chuckles. "You don't consider me your friend, Juniper?" "I mean, not really. I'm not trying to be rude, but we've

"I can't FaceTime you to see the outfit now. I'm not alone... No, not another woman. Just my assistant."

Yes, it's the same assistant I told you about before. No, there's

nothing going on between us. She just works for me. No, I don't want to get into her pants. It's not like that." He chuckles. "Trust me, she is the

he looks up at me with a smile, as if he hadn't just been dissing me to some skank. "So, any other stories you're working on?"

"No," I snap and look at my phone. "I actually have to be out of here in a couple of hours, so if we can maybe wo...

"I guess it's just you and me, kid." Canyon nods slightly and stares at me before looking around the

office. I watch as she pulls her hair up in a ponytail and crosses her arms. "I want a hundred dollars," she says, and I frown slightly.

"Sorry. What?" "I want a hundred dollars. All my friends' dads give them money, and I want one hundred dolla...
