“Is that what’s most important?” Danielle asked, puzzled. “Booo… I thought you’d say the best part is having the boss as your husband now.”
“That’s just the icing on the cake,” Deborah joked.
“What? I’m just an accessory?” The two women noticed Jayden entering the office. “That hurts, my love… sniff… how cruel,” he said dramatically, covering his mouth to hide his smile.
“No, love, it’s just that–oh!” Deborah started, but as she approached him, he grabbed her by the waist, pulling her close, revealing the smile that had been playing on his lips. “Cheater.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, giving her a kiss.
“Hehe, but I meant it–you’re the one who completes me, you’re my true happiness,” she declared, kissing him again.
“Well, if you put it that way, I can’t stay mad.”
“Exactly, and by the way, what are you doing here?” she asked, glancing at the clock on the wall, noting
that it was still work hours.
“Well, I was nearby because I came to check on… oh! You beat me to it; this is what I came looking for,” he said, noticing the gift catalog in her hands.
“Yes, I asked Dani to fetch it for me.”
“Perfect. Actually, at home, we’ve already sorted through all the kids‘ letters, so we can start reading them and making a list of toys we need to buy,” he said happily.
“That’s great. You know, Dani just told me they’ve improved the system for ordering the toys.”
“Great, you can explain it to me at home,” he said, smiling. “By the way, how’s your work going?” he asked, noticing her father wasn’t in the office.
“Max is helping my dad make the list of all the employees for the Christmas party right now.”
“You don’t know how many employees you have?”
“I do, but I’m not sure exactly how many have children, or if they’ll be attending alone or bringing someone else. I want to revive the tradition of making it a family event.”
“Ah, hehe, right. Even I didn’t know that,” he admitted sheepishly, then looked at their little one in his crib. ” And I see your little secretary has dozed off.”
“They brought him in recently so he could sleep comfortably,” Deborah said, watching James sleep.
“Brought?”
“Yes, Dad and Max took him to talk with the employees because he got bored of watching me read documents, and it seems he got tired out from playing with them,” she explained, adjusting the baby’s blanket. “By the way, how’s everything with our house?”
“According to Mom, we’ve already placed the order with the local bakery that won the contest, and tomorrow they’ll start delivering the pieces to build the giant gingerbread house.”

“Perfect, and look, just in time,” she said, showing him her phone. “Your dad says they’ve just finished the inspection, and they’re sending all the materials to the house to start building the Christmas village and play area.”
“Yay! That means this weekend we’ll be decorating and playing in the snow.”
“Hm… and in a bit, I’m going to the costume boutique with your mom.”
“Huh? Didn’t you already buy your costume?” he asked in confusion, recalling the sexy elf outfit and the modest Mrs. Claus outfit.
“Remember when we went, they didn’t have any in James’s size, and we asked them to let us know when they arrived,” she said, slipping her phone back into her pocket. “They just called to say they have the small sizes in stock.”
“Ah, right, hehe. I’m so jealous–he’ll have more outfits than his dad, since I only get to dress as Santa.”
“Well, we’re in the same boat because I only have one costume,” she said, taking his hand.
“Make that three of us! I’ll only wear my elf costume to look after you two,” Danielle chimed in playfully, making the couple laugh as she joined the conversation.
After exchanging a few more words, Jayden said goodbye to them, needing to return to his office. They all wanted to finish their tasks on time so they could fully enjoy the upcoming Christmas holidays with their families.
