Promised (The Beginning of Us #2)

I just found a billionaire’s daughter hiding under my desk. She told me not to call her dad yet.

I’m a librarian, and his daughter has been coming in every Tuesday after school for the last two months.

He picks her up every time, but he’s never looked me in the eye.

I was shelving books when I felt a tug on my dress.

She was standing behind me with the most serious face a six-year-old can make.

She said, “My dad said you have the prettiest smile he’s ever seen. I wanted to see if he was right.”

Suddenly, the front door opened and he walked in.

He saw his daughter standing next to me and his face went from panic to something I couldn’t read.

She looked at me, then at him, and said,

“She’s even prettier than you said, Daddy.”
