*****

I’d taken the L into the Loop because parking near the Fresh Market office was expensive. Plus, I’d scored a great spot Sunday evening and was now reluctant to move my Volvo. Beckett always took the L or a cab, so we walked from the restaurant. My cheeks were burning from the cold by the time we stepped inside. Beckett and I were a few minutes early, and we were met by the assistant art director, who showed us into the conference room.

“I’m Alec Carr,” he said as he led us back. “I’m excited to be working with you. I saw what you did with the kebabs. It was genius.”

“Thanks.” I ducked my head, always unsure how to respond to compliments.

“We’re excited to have you on board too, Mr. Altieri.”

Beckett waved a hand as we entered the glass-walled conference room. “You can call me Beckett.”

Alec smiled. “And you can call me Alec. Seriously, I’m a big fan of your work.”

I glanced at Beckett and raised my brows. There was definitely something going on here. Alec was cute in a Justin Timberlake way. He had light brown hair, a great body, and black-rimmed glasses that made him look funky and fun. He was the perfect compliment for Beckett’s blond hair and blue eyes.

“I love what Fresh Market is doing,” Beckett said as we took seats around a rectangular table. “Sex sells, Alec, and when you put food and sex together, the combination is explosive.”

“I agree completely,” Alec said. “And that’s why I didn’t hesitate when Catherine insisted we bring you on board. There’s no one better at staging food as sex than you.”

“I’m sure you’re equally good at what you do, Alec.”

Alec grinned. “I have a few hidden talents.”

“I have no doubt.”

I hid my smile. It was cute to see Beckett flirting with Alec.

Two executives I’d met before entered, and everything turned to business. We discussed different campaigns and listened as they outlined their ideas. Then Beckett and I made suggestions and offered advice. I felt like the meeting was going well. The executives were excited, and Alec couldn’t stop smiling. And then, with about fifteen minutes left, Beckett’s phone buzzed. He checked the text and scowled.

“Everything okay?” Alec asked.

“Great,” Beckett said and returned to our discussion of strawberries. I could tell everything wasn’t great. Something was wrong.

We wrapped the meeting up and Alec showed us out. “Call me if you have any questions,” he told us. “I’m available,” he said with a suggestive look at Beckett.

We stepped outside, and I nudged Beckett. “I think Alec has a thing for you. You should call him.”

“Maybe I will. He’s cute.”

“He’s really cute.”

“Cat, I need to show you something.” He pulled his phone out. There was something in his voice that made me tense. “I got this during the meeting.”

I took the phone and studied the link for a Google alert for William Lambourne. Huh. I should have set up a Google alert for him. I hadn’t thought about it. I opened the
