G R A Y S O N

I was going to quit.

Jean made a good point, I didn't have to work and my need to feel independent was slowly being crushed by my love for Jean. What was my need to be independent when I had someone finally willing to love me?

When I walked in Katherine smiled at me and waved, "How's it going?"

"Good, I'm going to quit." I said bluntly.

She blinked at me a couple times as her mouth dropped open, "W-What? Why?" she asked.

"I don't need the money..." I trailed off, not wanting to get into a deep conversation.

She frowned, "Is it because of me?"

I chuckled, "Of course not!"

She sighed in relief, "Okay," she hugged me, "Just promise that we will go out for coffee sometimes."

I smiled, "Okay."

I walked back to Rhy's office. When I entered he smiled at me, "Hello Grayson."

"Hello," I replied, "I want to quit."

He stared at me in shock for a few seconds then he looked confused, "Why? If you don't mind me asking."

I sighed, "I don't really need the money," I chuckled, "My boyfriend is a billionaire."

He nodded slowly and gave a small smile, it was almost as if he was sad I was leaving, "Okay," he sighed, "Well I wish you well, goodbye." he said and stood up.

He shook my hand and then I walked out the door.

As I passed Katherine she waved, "See ya later."

I smiled and walked out the door, Harry was still waiting in the front.

I climbed in the car and Jean smiled, "Are you ready to shop for Bear?"

I nodded, "Yep."

***

When we got back to the house I had to set up all the stuff we got for Bear. We had gotten a lot for him, I wanted to spoil him.

I set up his bed and laid his food out beside it. Bear ate all the food before I had time to set out his water.

After I had everything set up I sat down beside him and lightly stroked his black fur. He was a German Shepard, I found that out at the pet store.

Bear set his head on my lap and let out a sigh. I knew what he was feeling, he was tired and he was relived. Tired because of all the horrible things that he has been through, and relieved because he isn't alone anymore.

As I pet him I can feel his spine and his ribs. He isn't too thin but his bones shouldn't be that defined. I also found some scars where fur never grew back, I had a feeling that his life wasn't far off from mine.

Jean came in the room with a smile on his face, "La Boussière Inc. is finished, I'm going there tomorrow to see it. You can come with me if you'd like."

I smiled, "I'd love to."

The next morning Jean took me to the building and Marci and Dakota were waiting there.

Marci greeted me with a smile and a hug. Dakota kept her blank face.

We walked into the buliding and the place was amazing. The only thing that was being done was the moving in of the last of the furniture.

The inside was just like any other major buisness.

It was twenty floors high, Jean's office- or whoever would be incharge of this building- was on the top floor. He took me up there and I looked out the window of his office. The city was so beautiful from up here. I pulled out my phone and got a few pictures.

Jean chuckled from behind me and showed me around the floor, showing me everything. If I ever came to work with him I would need to know my way around.

Once we were done Jean hugged me, "Thanks for coming with me."

"Of course, I loved it." I smiled.

"Aww, y'all are so cute." Marci giggled.

Dakota, still with her touch-me-and-die expretion, commented, "Your not the only one who seems to think so."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"They are all over the news."

"Dakota," Jean said, "Why haven't you told me?"

"Well it's nothing bad, your career isn't at risk if you date him."

"You should still tell me when my relationship status is blown up across the US."

I could see a slight smile forming, "That's the thing, it's not just here, in France too. Some people saw you together there and you became the next big thing."

I saw how stiff Jean was and smiled at him, "It's fine."

He relaxed a little and looked down at me, "Your okay with this?" He asked.

I shrugged, "Nothing bad has happened... yet." I said uneasily.

"Don't jinx us Grayson." He said as we walked out of the building, his arm laying across my shoulder.

Sorry it's short and stupid!
