“Who is she?” Jackson asked as he sat on the couch in Jerald’s living room. “Who is this Hailey Jefferson and why are you so attached to her?”

Jerald wished he could answer those questions.

He hadn’t been at all surprised when he’d stepped out of the shower and heard the knock at the door, to see Jackson standing on the other side. His brother had been beyond pissed off when he’d arrived at the hospital this afternoon. Although he hadn’t thought Jackson would be so upset that he’d bring Noble with him. As a rule the Carrington brothers were discreet, especially when it came to each other. But Jerald figured if there had to be someone else there, it was better that it was Noble and not his parents, especially since Noble had thought enough to bring him a change of clothes.

“She was at the meeting I had with Mendoza. She’s his translator,” Jerald replied, walking through his living room and heading back up the steps to his bedroom to get dressed.

Jackson would either fix himself a drink and wait, or…Jerald heard his brother following him up the steps.

“So she works for him?” Jackson continued. “How long? And what else does she do for him? I went through that file three times before I left and again last night. There’s no mention of her in Mendoza’s business or personal file.”

Jerald went straight to his bureau, pulling open a drawer and taking out an undershirt first, then a pair of boxers. He turned to Jackson then and replied, “I know. She started working for him about six weeks ago. It’s a summer job.”

He moved into the bathroom after that, dropping the towel and putting his underwear on while hearing his brother swearing from the other room.

“She’s not a danger to the deal,” Jerald told him upon returning to the room. Then he cursed.

He’d left the towel on the bathroom floor. Something he never did. Running a hand down his face he took a deep breath and went back into the bathroom to retrieve the towel. Dropping it inside the hamper across from his bed he looked up to see his brother staring strangely at him.

“What? I said she’s not a threat,” Jerald reiterated.

He pushed past Jackson and went to his bed where he’d already laid out his clothes. Another suit, this time a coffee color with a pale blue shirt and royal tie. His shoes were at the end of the bed, right beneath where the suit lay neatly, brown Gucci lace ups.

“You know that for a fact?” Jackson inquired.

His brother stood with his arms folded over his chest, one hand lifted as he ran it over his bearded chin. He didn’t believe Jerald. He knew something was going on. Jerald didn’t bother to frown. Of the three Carrington brothers he was the most reserved, the quiet and solemn one. He could also be the most transparent one when something was wrong.

“Can you at least let me get dressed before we do this?” he asked, unable to hide the irritation in his tone.
