"Derek! Go to your room!"
After heaving a sigh of relief that the CEO hadn't taken her little brother's or her best friend's antics seriously, Liz almost yelled this.
The kid had already had his dinner, so the cinnamon bun was actually his dessert.
Licking his fingers, Derek nodded but took two more buns in his hand.
It looked as if his entire mind was occupied by the food, but on the way to the stairs, he stopped in front of Will and smiled widely before saying, "Thanks for the gift! And for help with bullies! Sis has a great boss! Now I know why mom keeps saying that!"
At this, Will bent down and ruffled the little kid's hair who then ran up the stairs without turning his head.
Seeing him act like this, both Liz and Luke smiled at his back after Liz looked down and shuffled her feet for a second at her mother's comment which could be taken in another way.
^^
Hope all of you are having a beautiful weekend!
Me, I'm stuck at work :(
Oh, how I wish I could have a table filled with all these delicacies when I get home...
