CHAPTER SEVEN

– LEONTINE –

“No, Gordon,” I sigh. “There’s no need to be worried, I’m fine. And honestly, it’s none of your business.”

Gordon glares at the prospect who is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest. It’s as if Kain ordered him to be in plain sight and keep an eye on Gordon while he’s here. This because in all the days this prospect has been here, I’ve hardly seen him. I don’t blame Kain, though. With everything he’s mentioned, I don’t feel at ease around Gordon.

And that says a lot because I didn’t really like him to start with but he’s good at his job. Though everything makes me doubt his every move since Kain shared the information he found out. Like the papers in front of me Gordon wants me to sign. Each time I want to go through them he points at the dotted line, telling me he glanced through everything and all there’s left is for me to sign.

See? Doubt. Normally I would trust him to make these decisions and the major things would be handled by my father or go through Paula first. And that’s the other tricky thing, I don’t trust her either.

“You’re basically held prisoner, Leontine,” Gordon whispers as if he believes his own words.

I sigh and shake my head, shoving the papers away from me. “Look, Gordon. I’m not being held prisoner by anyone.” I point at the prospect and raise my voice a little. “That prospect’s name is Jabba, he is here for me. Like some sort of a bodyguard. If I would ask him to help me into the car and drive me to wherever I want, he’d do so without blinking.”

Gordon is giving me a skeptical look and the prospect looks bored but at the same time intrigued. I feel the need to rattle Gordon because I don’t like his misplaced concerns and to be honest, he freaks me out since he’s shoving the papers he’s demanding I sign back in front of me.

I glare at Gordon and snap, “And if I would ask him to kick your ass he would do so with a big smile on his face and throw you out the door without breaking a sweat.”

Gordon throws a glance at the prospect, who is pushing himself off the wall and is wearing a huge smirk.

“This isn’t like you, Leontine,” Gordon says in dismay.

“How would you know?” I hiss and instantly regret the way I’m allowing myself to react. I take another deep breath and control my voice when I tell him, “I would like for you to leave. I will go over all these papers and will get them back to you either later today or tomorrow.”

“There is no need for you to go over them, they have been drawn up by our lawyers. I’ve gone through them and so did Paula. All that’s left for you is to sign,” Gordon says with a smooth as silk voice as he slides the papers back in front of me.
