Chapter Two

Subject Report on Cam Matthews: When check came, he said dinner was on me. Then he said, “that’s real equality for you.” —Member 14

Need to Know admin staff: Confirmed payment.

FOREST CLAMPED HIS back teeth together to keep from shouting. He still thought about making a lunge for the keys jangling in Wen’s hand. After the messed-up excuse for a meeting with Ryan that lasted forty-five minutes longer than planned, Forest’s patience had expired.

He’d voted for delivering the bad news via conference call. Wen was the one who’d insisted they visit Ryan in person. As far as Forest was concerned, that meant Wen was solely to blame for the wasted work time and having to listen to a grown man swear, grovel and cry. The last part made Forest’s head pound. It also got him up and out of the conference-room chair in about two seconds. He didn’t need to be a part of that sort of nonsense.

He and Wen made it off the elevator and halfway to the guest spot in the underground parking garage before Wen started talking again. “That went well.”

Leave it to Wen to try to find the positive in a heaping pile of negative. “Not for Peterson.”

“I meant for us.”

“Then, yes.” But Forest wasn’t convinced that was true, either. Now they had to double back and restart the process with a new construction team. He wanted the project moving. The preparation meetings were pissing him off.

Their shoes clicked against the pavement as they snaked through the lines of parked cars. The steady beat echoed around them. Forest tried to concentrate on the hammering, but the face of Ryan’s temp kept edging into his mind. He’d caught only her last name—McAdam.

Not that he cared.

Sure, the long wavy brunette hair was hot. The slim skirt and pink shirt that skimmed her body all worked for him. And the face, round and pretty with big brown eyes... Okay, maybe he cared a little, but no way was he making a play for her.

He’d have to know her name. He could find it out easily enough. A few well-placed questions and a call or two to temp agencies would do it. But he vowed to let it go. Last thing he needed was a fling with a woman who made a living working in offices where he might have business meetings. That promised a bunch of awkward post-sex conversations.

No thanks. He’d settle for some heavy-duty sex fantasies about those spiky high heels and what she hid under that black skirt instead, then move on.

Wen stopped at the driver’s side of his sleek two-seater. “Word is, without our business, Ryan could be out of his own firm.”

A topic that didn’t involve Ms. McAdam’s long legs or high, round breasts. Yeah, Forest could handle this. “Last I checked we weren’t a charity.”

“He might have bigger troubles anyway.” Wen clicked a button and the locks chirped.

“Such as?” Forest got in, checking his cell and barely listening as he mentally planned the rest of his day.
