It was strange seeing him in anything other than the

Berkshire uniform.

He looked… normal. Instead of the Berkshire star

quarterback I despised.

“I asked you a question. What are you doing here?”

Maddox cocked his head to the side, giving me an

amused look. “Working, Garcia. Simple as that.”

Impatiently, I tapped my foot on the ground, not falling

for his stupid games. To work? Yeah, right.

“You don’t need to work. Don’t your parents give you an

allowance? Your credit card is probably unlimited.”

For a brief second, I noticed the way his eyes darkened

as if he was disappointed in me. But it was gone too

quickly, leaving me wondering if what I saw was real or just

my imagination. He tsked, shaking his head.

“See, that’s your problem. You assume too many things.”

I wasn’t assuming anything. He wasn’t just rich; Maddox

was filthy rich. He didn’t need a part-time job, especially

not at my grandparents’ grocery store. He didn’t ever need

to work.

In fact, he didn’t even need to be here, in this

neighborhood, where didn’t belong.

But no, he had to be here. The only two days I had

without Maddox being a jerk every minute – my only two

peaceful days, he had to come and ruin.

“How did you get my grandma to agree to this?”

“That was really simple. I smiled.”

A frustrated sound came from my throat, and I rubbed a

hand over my face. “Maddox,” I grumbled under my breath.

He pushed away from the wall and walked past me to lift

another brown box. His shirt stretched over his shoulders

as he placed it on the top shelf and diligently arranged all

the boxes in expiration date order. “She thinks I’m

charming and sweet. Trust me, this is the first time

someone has called me sweet. Shocking, right?”
