Chapter Seven

~Auggie~

Donald Cyrus was a slimy, skeezy git.

The more he talked, the more hairs stood up on the back of my neck. There was something severely off about that man, and it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t put my finger on it.

Probably because I was so distracted by Levi. I knew that I needed to keep my head in the game. The fate of the company literally depended on it. But every time Levi shifted in his seat and bumped his leg against mine, little jolts of happiness ran through me and distracted the hell out of me.

Several times I’d looked up to catch Jacob grinning at me like an idiot, as if he knew exactly what was happening. It was almost worth slamming shut any affectionate thoughts I had about Levi just to annoy Jacob.

But I was pretty sure that horse was already out of the barn.

I snapped my attention back to the meeting, covertly glancing around at the board members to try to get a read on them. They were listening much more intently to Mr. Cyrus than they had to Levi. That was annoying.

Levi was just as commanding, just in a different way. You couldn’t help but pay attention when Levi spoke, even if you weren’t necessarily catching every word he said.

But Mr. Cyrus was a powerhouse. He had a booming voice and his large body moved around animatedly as he presented his case. It really was like watching a court drama.

When Mr. Cyrus starting talking about profit and loss, the tone of the room changed so abruptly it made goosebumps prickle along my arms.

“Wait just a damn minute!” Levi exploded, jumping to his feet. “What in the hell are you talking about?”

“Excuse me?” Mr. Cyrus said, his smooth tone cold as ice.

“Those figures are not accurate,” Levi answered, his tone just as dangerous. “I provide this board with a P&L every month. You can’t stand here and fabricate numbers.” Levi looked around the room, and the blank stares he received back were more telling than anything else that had happened all day.

“Levi,” Mr. Potts said softly. “Donald’s explanation exactly matches every report we’ve received in the last year.”

“That’s not possible,” Levi told him. “I went over those numbers in detail this morning.”

I could feel fear emanating off of Levi. Something was happening here that I didn’t quite understand. I looked across the table at Jacob, and noticed his jaw was set in a tight line. He was angry too.

I’d warned Levi that no one had been paying attention to him this morning. And now, there was something going on. I just wish I understood what.

“Levi,” Mr. Cyrus said smoothly. “We get your reports. But perhaps you don’t understand them as well as you should.”

I gripped Levi’s arm, tugging gently to get his attention. Mr. Cyrus was lying.

Levi ripped his arm away from me, his gaze hard as he stared at the larger man.

“Levi,” I whispered harshly.

“I think I could use some coffee,” Mr. Cyrus said, his tone making my blood run cold.
