That explained why Sunny had mentioned local connections. This cabin probably belonged to a family friend, or something.
Grant didn’t want to pry, but it meant a lot that Sunny was willing to go to lengths like that for him. Sunnyalwayswent above and beyond.
“Heading up on the twenty-third is fine, but you have to leave on the twenty-sixth, if that’s okay?”
Grant nodded. “That’s okay.”
He would havelikeda few more days, but he accepted that he’d left it too late now. As long as he got to spend Christmas with the people he loved, he was happy.
“Okay.” Sunny tapped on his tablet a few times. “Booked. Merry Christmas.” He smiled warmly.
“Thanks. Seriously,thank you,” Grant said.
Maybe what he thought were feelings for Sunny was actually just excitement and relief at having someone around who could make his life this easy.
That made more sense.
He’d just been caught up in the moment earlier.
“Now would be a great time to ask me for anything you want,” Grant said. Sunny deserved a reward for this. It had been impossible, and he’d known that when he asked. The fact that Sunny had somehow accomplished it was amazing.
“I’d like Christmas day off so I can spend it with my family,” Sunny said.
“You were already getting it off.” Grant smiled at him. “But I think you’d figured that out.”
“I was starting to get the impression, yeah.” Sunny nodded. “That’s really all I want. This is my job. You don’t need to reward me for doing it. You pay me.”
“Not enough,” Grant said. “Remind me to do something about that in the new year, okay? I mean that. I just don’t think I could get anyone in accounts to cooperate between now and Christmas.”
He’d give Sunny a cash bonus out of his own pocket for Christmas. Sunny had more than earned it.
Sunny opened his mouth, closed it, and then took a breath to start again. “Thank you,” he said. “I’ll remind you.”
He’d clearly been about to object, but Grant was glad he hadn’t. Sunny was worth his weight in gold. He deserved to get paid at least a fraction of that.
“Take an early lunch,” Grant said. “I gotta call Julia and make plans.”
“I can also do that for you,” Sunny offered.
Grant shook his head. “You’ve done enough. Seriously. Besides, Julia I can handle.”
“Okay.” Sunny agreed, taking a step toward the door. “But I’m only a text away if you change your mind.”
“I know,” Grant said. Sunny was the most reliable person in his life right now.
Which totally explained how he felt, too. Sunny just made him feel good because he wasthere, and he kept doing all the things that Grant hated to do without a word of complaint.
He definitely wasn’t falling for his PA. That would be ridiculous.
