Chapter Thirteen

Marie took a sip of her drink and smiled at Adrian Andrews, the half owner of one of the most successful child clothing lines in the country. He was facing some problems just as she was, thanks to Frankl’s nasty proclivities.

“How is everything going?” she asked. She’d invited him to her home for dinner and drinks, not wanting to risk anyone seeing them together, especially Darice.

“She’s interested,” Andrews told her with a Cheshire cat grin. “I don’t think she’ll turn us down.”

“Are there any points she’s not happy with? Darice will back out if she thinks you’re trying to pull something over on her.”

“The shoot,” Andrews replied. “She doesn’t want to do it there.”

“Convince her,” she urged with a smile. “You’re good at what you do. You can sell her whatever she needs to be comfortable with this job.”

He shook his head, doubt on his face now. “She won’t take it if I don’t shoot it here and, honestly, I don’t have a real problem with that. She is the best. I’ve asked around and the fact she fit me in makes me lucky.”

“Money talks.”

“Not a language that everyone understands,” he said grimly. “I think we’ve found one we can’t buy, and I’ve been asking around. The two of you had some issues apparently. You warned a few companies against using her.”

“It was a disagreement,” Marie said coldly.

“I’ve asked a friend to check into that for me,” Andrews replied. “We can’t afford any other problems and if I find out you’re connected to some kind of wrong doing, you’re out.”

“You’re going to make it without my money? I don’t think so. You can’t buy me out.” She didn’t make children’s clothes, but she did own forty percent of his company because he’d been floundering years ago.

Her father had bought into the company to keep it from going under with the stipulation that he would only run the day-to-day operations of the business.

“I’ll take the company public,” he told her. “That will gain me the investors I need once I buy you out.”

“You’ll be in for a very nasty fight,” she told him. “Just get McMasters on board!”

Andrews put his drink down. “I’m making no promises,” he said and headed for the door.

She glared and threw her glass after him.

Chloe rolled onto her back the next morning with a sigh. She felt more rested than she had in the last week.

Her lips tipped into a smile and she yawned, stretching, hands over her head. Then, she pushed back the covers and sat up. A glance at her phone’s clock made her shriek.

“Darice!” She hurried into the bathroom to clean up. She was so late.

When she stepped back into the bedroom, Darice was there and dressed with a cup of coffee in hand.

“Sleep well?”

“I slept fine, but I’m late,” she exclaimed.

“You’re fine. Sabrina and I think you need to work from home today. The windows are being replaced downstairs, and anyone could claim to be a worker and get in and up to you.
