I decided to meet him after work, somewhere significantly farther away from the office and closer to my home, so that I could go back to Avery immediately after I was done. The sun was descending in the sky when I did, and luckily, there was a cool breeze, so my commute home wouldn’t be so bad.

I stepped into the restaurant and saw him immediately, his bright hair standing heads above anyone else in the room. He had a salad in front of him but was making no move to reach for the fork. His hands were crossed, and he was watching the door.

His expression didn’t change when he saw me.

“Sorry, I’m late,” I said, slipping into the seat opposite him. “The Uber took a different route.”

“Ubers are not safe,” he said. “You should probably get a car.”

Like it was that easy. “Yeah, that would be nice, except I don’t have the money for that right now.”

He frowned like he couldn’t fathom the idea of someone not having money for something. I’d seen the look plenty of times on the faces of the rich kids at St. Peters when I told them I couldn’t afford something. He then shook his head, immediately dismissing that idea.

“So,” he said. “What did you find out?”

“Nothing,” I admitted. “So far, we’ve visited all six warehouses and gone to several meetings with investors, and there has been no mention of anything out of the ordinary. There is nothing off in the documents either.”

“What were the meetings about, and with whom?”

“Most of it was networking. Just a bunch of rich people talking about rich people’s things. Not even the hint of corporate espionage.”

His lips tightened even more. He didn’t like the sound of that. “Are you sure you didn’t notice anything?”

“Positive,” I said firmly. “Are you sure he’s involved in anything illegal? It just seems like he’s trying to gather as much capital as possible so he can invest in a new business opportunity.”

“Which is?”

“I’m not sure. Looks like he’s planning on buying out a few smaller businesses and adding to his conglomerate.”

Alexander shook his head. “No, I don’t think that’s it. I know him. It wouldn’t be that simple.”

“How do you know Donovan again?” I asked. Ever since I saw him, there had been a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I’d seen him before. He did look a little familiar, but I wasn’t placing the face.

“It’s not important,” he responded, and then suddenly, his eyes dropped to around my neckline.

I felt a shift in the atmosphere when he did, even though his expression didn’t change. I squirmed a little in my seat. Why was he watching me? I couldn’t read him very well.

“So you’re positive you didn’t find anything that might lead us to Donovan’s true motive?” he asked again in a much quieter voice.

“Yes, I’m sure,” I responded. “Why?”

His arctic eyes suddenly flipped up to mine. “Nothing. I’d just hate to think you’re hiding something from me.”

A trickle of fear ran up my spine.
