Sins of the Family: Falling for my Step-Uncle Chapter 167: Sawyer
I pet Arlo’s head as I sat outside the café near the house. I was waiting for Sylvia to join me. It felt a little strange knowing that her husband was sitting two tables away just watching me, but he insisted that it would be unprofessional to join us while he was working. So, I settled for getting him a coffee while he watched Arlo for me.“Sawyer…?”I turned to see Sylvia come from the direction of the parking lot. I got to my feet and greeted her with a somewhat nervous hug. I still wasn’t sure how this situation was going to go. Her relationship with her family was a lot different than mine. It was hard not to feel some guilt.“So, how are you settling in?” I asked as we settled back down at the table.“Honestly, really well,” she replied with a genuine smile, letting Arlo sniff her hand. “I’ve been wondering why we didn’t do this sooner. You’re looking great. At least since the last time I saw you.”“Yeah, I would hope,” I said with a light smile. “It seems we’re both taking to t

Christina and I laughed as we sat on the back porch and drank cocktails. It was a hot evening but I didn’t care. I wanted to admire the work that I had put in over the past two days already. I had genuinely been disappointed when the board fired me. Especially since I knew how much it meant to Sylas to have me working with him. But after a day or so, my disappointment faded. There just seemed to be so much else I could be doing.“So, where is Darla?” I asked. “What is this job you said she was working on that she couldn’t step away to come over tonight?”“Oh, yeah, well, it’s not a design job, actually,” Christina said. “She’s dancing tonight.”“Dancing? What? I thought she didn’t need to go back to stripping?” I asked.“She doesn’t,” Chris said with a shrug. “She said she missed the workout. Apparently, I do too good a job taking care of her. She’s gained five pounds and she thinks she’s letting herself go. It’s ridiculous.”“She could just join a gym,” I replied with a laugh.“But w

Everyone started to stand from the conference table. They shook hands and murmured their goodbyes to each other, but they were smart enough to stay well clear of me. I had no intention of pretending to be content with this decision. But Sawyer seemed fine with it. So, that saved them from any repercussions from me for the time being.Out of respect, Sawyer stood by her chair. Letting the rest of the board leave before her. Just as Rick came up next to me, I saw Bella approach her. I tensed.“Try not to take it personally, Sawyer,” Bella told her. “This really only applies to any role requiring a security clearance. I would hate to think you felt like you weren’t welcome within the company in any capacity.” She reached into her bag and pulled out some paper. “In fact, I’ve taken the liberty to put together a few applications for you. They’re for some entry-level positions. You know, something more appropriate to your experience.”My hands fisted. She was trying to humiliate Sawyer even

I started to panic as we got closer to the conference room. I was terrified they would know what we’d just done in his office. Sylas and I knew what happened only showed how strong our relationship was, but I knew the people in that conference room would take the wrong way entirely. How could they not?I shook off the thoughts. How could they know? It would be fine. Everything would be fine.I took the seat at the end of the table. Feeling every eye in the room on me. Sylas moved to stand against the wall. Giving the board members enough space to feel they could converse but still making sure they knew he was there and he would have a say.Holding my head high, I looked around at each of the familiar faces. For the most part, I had only met them the one time at dinner when Sylas announced he would accept the EPA contract. Rick was there, of course. He gave me a supportive smile and nod. But he was the only one that didn’t have me worried. Especially once I saw the smug look on Bella’s

Sylas was not happy about my suggestion but I felt like it was the best solution. This would give me the opportunity to defend myself. However, I was a bit surprised at how fast Eric jumped at the idea. And how quickly he managed to arrange the meeting.“They want to catch you off guard,” Sylas said bitterly, pacing his office that evening. “They don’t want to give you time to prepare a lie.”“Well, I had no intention of lying, so that doesn’t really matter,” I told him calmly.“I know you weren’t. That’s not the point,” he stated. “You shouldn’t have to do this in the first place.”“Why not?” I asked honestly. “You gave me a job, Sylas. Anyone else would have to interview, have a background check, and go through all the other avenues to make sure they were a good candidate. I know it’s your company, but they have a vested interest in it.”“And they should trust me to protect that interest,” he replied angrily. “They have for all these years before. Why question now?”He needed to rel

As I entered the office, I found Sylas at his desk, brooding over some papers in front of him. He looked tired. Run-down even. Enough that I paused for a second. I’d never seen him like this. Not even this morning when I knew he wasn’t looking forward to dealing with the aftermath, despite his assurances. My heart ached as I realized I hadn’t really done much to take care of him through this.In fact, I’d been a little distant, considering.When he was first released, we let ourselves get distracted by the heat and passion that was always there between us. Somewhere under the surface whenever we were close. But when we came back to the real world, something seemed off. I felt like he wasn’t being honest with me about the seriousness of the situation.Then he left to work last night, which had taken me completely by surprise. It felt like he was avoiding me. That, of course, stirred my insecurities. When the hour stretched into several, I’d started to think he was rethinking our engagem

I was about to ask what he was saying when I heard my mother’s laughter coming back inside. My cheeks flushed bright red as I scrambled to get away from him. I stumbled back around the corner and into the kitchen.“There you are, honey,” Mom said. “Come outside.”“Um…” I swallowed and cleared my th

“You know, no one could believe it when you showed up at the party this weekend, cousin,” Charles said as he followed me into Dimitri’s office Monday morning. “I believed it even less when Meech called and said you’d be coming in for a few days.”“And I’m assuming Dimitri also told you that I had f

“Babe, I think you’re focusing too much on the whole uncle thing,” Christine said as we sat on the couch the next morning. “I mean, you guys aren’t actually related. You’ve never even met before. Hell, you’ve only met your stepfather three times. It’s not like you call him ‘daddy,’ or anything.”“Ha
