"Who? JD?"
The moment she said his name, her face lit up—so naturally, so effortlessly, that Liam nearly lost his grip on the glass.
"He's good," she said with certainty. "I want to keep him here for a long time, possibly to manage my company. He's good at managing and I want to spend more time in the farm."
Liam nearly choked on his drink.
"Manage your company?" he repeated slowly.
Joanne nodded, her expression thoughtful. "Yeah. I think he'd be perfect for it."
Liam stared at her.
That wasn't just business talk.
There was something else in her voice, in the way she said it. She wanted to keep him close—not just as an employee.
Liam exhaled through his nose, shaking his head. "I don't know what it is about that guy, but…" He trailed off, deciding against finishing that sentence.
