Gloria stayed at her desk chair long after she’d hung up rather than press against the window and see to the sidewalk. Was that threat figurative? Or immediate?

Her heart calmed eventually as she shakily secured her ruby earring back in place then found her cell phone, calling her head of personal security, Richard Delano.

He reported to her desk quickly, and Gloria concisely shared what had happened, sounding far more dramatic than she intended. “What do you think?”

His thinking process was the same as it had been years ago, before they’d found each other, when he was simply security and she was only diversifying her portfolios. But Richard knew what to do and when to do it. It was one of the reasons she trusted him with her empire.

He crossed his arms the way he did when he was certain of a solution. “I know a guy or two.”

“What?” Of all the things he could have said, that was not it. “No!”

“I don’t have the resources to track down a nameless woman who knows too much.”

“You’re my security!”

“What do you want me to do, Gloria?”

“If you can’t handle the threat, give it to the FBI and let them run around—” No, that wouldn’t work, and the minor annoyance ticking on his forehead said he’d already thought this through. The FBI handled her threats but when someone knew too much. “Then what would you tell an outsider?”

He shrugged off her concerns. “The issue is twofold.”

“Twofold, how?” She wasn’t thinking clearly.

“How was someone able to get a hold of you?”

Good point. She lifted her chin.

“And if this is legitimate—”

“It’s legitimate,” she snapped. His comfort level with questioning her was the problem with mixing their business relationship with their personal one. “Which day in my planner should we focus on?”

“The humanitarian dinner next week? The fundraiser gala? The benefit—”

“All of the above.” He relaxed his arms. “I’ll be near your side, but we’ll put a team on the outskirts to manage protestors, incoming threats, and I’ll get my guy to track the caller down. See how much we need to be concerned, the source of the threat, and then clean up any loose ends.”

“There shouldn’t be any loose threads,” she mumbled. Her reputation was more valuable than the billions she owned. More than her life. It was one of the reasons she had been ruthless with her network and generous with their benefits package if they were ever compromised. Her employees would sacrifice themselves for the betterment of their families It was a simple company policy.

She pinched the bridge of her nose. “Very few know the inner workings of what we do. To find whoever called me, they would have to know more details.”

“Don’t worry about it. You’ve already worked with the guy I have in mind. Any guy I’d talk to about any of this, it’d be the right guy for the job.”

Her world, her name, her life was on the line. But Richard had never led her astray, and he’d lose everything also if she lost did.
