“Hey, Bonnie.” Jordan pokes his head into my office, and we jump. It’s those soundless carpets again.
“Hi, Jordan!” I greet back.
“Baby?” He looks at Sabrina expectantly, a grin on his face.
“I’m all set. We’re just planning for tomorrow.”
“So, shall I pick you up bright and early tomorrow? Say around 10?” Sabrina turns around to ask as she reaches her husband.
“That’s way too early,” I protest.
“Trust me, it’s not. I’d like to window shop for the babies as well.”
“Oh, wow. Don’t you have to know the sex of the babies before you start to shop?” I ask.
“Not for everything, godmother,” she says. And immediately I feel overwhelmed that she's naming me godmother.
“Aww, Sabrina. To both of them?”
She nods. "Of course"
“Oh my God, I’m so honored. I’ll be the best godmother ever!” I promise
“You’d better be. You know, you and Ethan are godparents, and it's bad luck if you don’t get along.”
I try not to roll my eyes. Sabrina needs to give this a rest. “You just totally made that up.”
“I’m sure it’s a bylaw somewhere.”
“Besides, we do get along. We have to, at least for the sake of work. I don’t know that we’ll ever be best friends like you guys are, but don't worry, we’re civil.”
I have no clue what we are, actually.
“And I really respect him as a person. Everyone does, right?” I ask Jordan.
He shoots me an overly bright smile. “Of course, Bonnie. Bree, don’t worry, okay? Those two are good. Let’s get you home, shall we?”
Sabrina gives me a hug before she leaves. “It’s good to see you’re settling in well. We’ll catch up tomorrow.”
I wave her off. “See you then, babes.”
Jordan says goodbye, then leads his wife away.
Great, we’re co-parenting now.
Chapter 12
Ethan
“I think we shouldlet one of the staff trainees do it,” Jordan suggests.
I know who he means by that. There’s only one staff trainee out of the six hundred employees across the board who can do what he’s suggesting, and it’s Bonnie Russo.
Mike, Jordan, Sajid, and I are in the small conference room, brainstorming on the next steps before launching our latest product, Dreadlite, which is a large collection of avatar accessories, clothing, and weapon skins for the best-selling online game, Dread.
“I agree,” Mike says. “Sajid and I don’t have to do everything now that we’ve got two kickass mid-level associates. And can I just say, great work to all of us who made the orientation and training process smooth for Bonnie and Owen.”
One kickass associate and another regular one,I think, but not unkindly. Bonnie is in a class of her own, and when pitched against someone else, it automatically becomes an unfair pairing.
