Chapter Nine

Macy’s house was a picture of southern hospitality. The white-bricked plantation styled mansion had a columned porch that seemed to extend around the exterior of the house. Plantation shutters covered massive windows and that was just what Markie’s eyes could take in. She wondered what the back of the house looked like as she turned into Macy’s driveway and thought it must be equally as impressive if all the species of flowers planted at the front was anything to go by.

The birds on the edge of the three-tier water fountain in the centre of the circular driveway scattered as she pulled up beside Jamie’s black jeep.

“Nice piece of real estate,” Jamie said looking at the house as he came around and opened the door of her SUV and she got out.

“It’s similar to the house in Sydney’s picture.” Markie glanced at the photo she pulled from her purse then at the house.

“Almost. That house,” Jamie pointed to the left over his shoulder, “is four doors down the street on the right. I saw it on my way in. You missed it because you came from the opposite direction. We can take a look when we’re finished with Macy.”

She nodded. According to Carlos, Beck hadn’t gotten back to him regarding the address. With every thing that was going on at his company maybe he’d forgotten. She didn’t want to read more into it than that. They got the information they needed anyway.

“You look well rested this morning,” Jamie said when they started up the steps towards Macy’s front door.

Jamie kept staring at her with that knowing look ‘that I know what you did last night’ look. Maybe she was being paranoid. Whether she was or not, she didn’t want to discuss Beck with him.

“I’m well rested,” she replied without looking at Jamie and rang the doorbell. She didn’t have to look at him to know he was smiling at her.

A woman, with skin the color of caramel, dressed in a white linen pantsuit opened the door a few minutes later. She was on the cordless phone and the conversation with the party on the other end didn’t seem pleasant as she shook her head rolling her eyes towards the ceiling.

She covered the mouthpiece of the phone with her hand and asked, “Markie and Jamie?”

“Yes,” Markie replied.

“Come on in,” she said to them. “Yes, they just got here,” Macy responded to the person on the phone. She beckoned at Jamie and Markie to follow her. They proceeded through an arched doorway, the floor polished wood, as she led them into a front room.

Macy sat down behind a large desk that looked like it was carved from a tree trunk. Bookshelves lined the entire room from one end to the other.

“Please have a seat.” She pointed to the two chairs in front of her desk. “I’m going to put you on speaker, Brad,” Macy said hitting the speaker button as she put down the phone. “Brad Logan, Editor, Upscale Design Magazine. Marklynn Brooks and Jamie Wright are here.
