CHAPTER Twenty-Eight

Vernon had managed to be civil in the office for the rest of the week, but the assistants had the added duty of messenger service between the two camps. Michael dropped by and Brandi reconfirmed his position as the company accountant, but brushed off the strong advances. He left saying that he was “there for her” if she needed anything.

As she sat in her home office, going over the business plan two more times, she thought, relationships that began on what “might have been” didn’t always last. But Lord, Michael was a fine piece of work. If Vernon didn’t get his act together soon, and that delta between her thighs started humming a precision tune, she might have to…

The phone rang. She checked the display. When William Spencer’s cell number came up, she just let it ring. She didn’t need any of his bullshit so early on a Saturday morning. At least give her until noon. Yes, noon was a good time to deal with unsavory things. A person’s had breakfast and dinner’s a long way off.

Tanya had taken the girls to a track meet, giving Brandi uninterrupted time to pull everything together so splitting the company would have minor repercussions for the staff. The court date was only a month away, and Avie had said they needed to be prepared to prove to the judge that it was better for all involved.

The doorbell rang three times before she could push away from the desk. The impatient person on the other side had better not be a salesperson—he would definitely not be on the receiving end of “good morning.”

She froze as her father-in-law’s bald head, beady eyes, and thick mustache swam into focus. It was eight in the morning on a Saturday and William Spencer had nerve enough to have on a three-piece suit, complete with timepiece and chain.

She ran her fingers through her hair, bracing herself as she opened the door. She knew his presence on her doorstep so early in the morning wasn’t good news.

He brushed past her into the foyer, quickly scanning the first level of the house. “Where are the girls?”

“They’re with Tanya.”

His jowls shook as he grimaced, obviously keeping his first thoughts to himself—the wisest thing she’d seen him do yet. “You’ve taken this thing a little too far, missy.”

She closed the door, sighing wearily. “Nice of you to grace my home with your presence and unwanted opinion.” She leaned against the entrance. “And what’s too far? The fact that I’ve accepted my husband’s mistress into our home?”

“It’s absurd!”

Brandi grinned, enjoying the man’s discomfort. “No more absurd than my husband having an affair. He took vows—vows that said he would keep to me and only me. I’m holding up my end. Why can’t he?”

“It was meaningless,” he said, waving her off with a dismissing swipe of a heavy hand.

“In other words, you knew about it, too,” she said dryly. “All the men knew and not one of you wondered how I would feel. But then, there’s not much I could expect.
