Chapter 11

“You shouldn’t be dating her.”

“Excuse me?” Annabelle flapped her hands at her sides. “It’s my life, so I don’t see why not.”

“You don’t see why not? Really? You are so juvenile, Annabelle, so I’ll make it very clear for you. You can’t date her because it’s a conflict of interest, that’s why!” George huffed out a breath and glared at Annabelle. “Of all the women, Annabelle. Seriously! How could you do this to me?”

“Like I intended for this to happen? How was I supposed to know who she was?” Annabelle pressed her hands together in a pleading gesture. It was bad enough that they were arguing in public, in a parking lot, in front of the lovely restaurant where Elizabeth had just treated her to the most adult brunch of her life. They’d had mimosas and sipped coffee, just like ladies should. But now her sister was scolding her like a child and that was where she drew the line.

“Oh, I don’t know – you could try asking people about themselves! Or do you just go right for the pussy without getting a name first?”

Anger flared inside Annabelle, heating her from limb to limb. “Seriously, that is the bitchiest thing you have ever said to me, Georgina. I’ve never spoken to you like that. You need to take it back.”

George pressed her fingers to the bridge of her nose, as if getting her emotions under control took effort. Annabelle managed to bite back a scoff. It didn’t take effort. George was the epitome of the cool, proper rich girl, except when it suited her not to be. Then she could do spoiled better than anyone Annabelle knew. And she knew a lot of those rich girls from their high school.

There was also the fact that George had almost three years on her. If anyone was acting juvenile, it was her sister, not Annabelle.

George seemed to rein in her temper, because she finally said, “Fine. I’m sorry. It’s not fair of me to assume things about your relationship. And I know Elizabeth pretty well, so I can’t imagine she was just looking to get laid.”

“Gee, that’s awful charitable of you,” Annabelle spat out, not at all mollified. “How dare you say it like that, like she’s the one who can do no wrong and whatever problem exists is all my fault. She’s the one who asked me out, who expressed an interest in me. We are two adults and what we do is none of your business.”

“Except when it is my business because it impacts my actual business,” George hissed back. “I work for her, Annabelle! Can’t you see how that could cause a problem?”

The argument had become so heated, Annabelle wondered if there were people staring at them. She was grateful Elizabeth had left, recognizing the awkwardness of the situation. Not that it really helped. That meant Elizabeth also wasn’t there to defend their relationship.

Annabelle rubbed her hands over her face. Great. Just as she’d finally gotten comfortable with
