CHAPTER 12
Dimitri
I pace outside my competitorâs building, hoping for a mere glimpse of the prick who cornered Izzy yesterday. She calmed down last night, well technically this morning in the earliest hours before sunrise, and we overloaded the system so much that I can only hope the software crashed. As long as she focuses on that attack against Alekâs software, then we wonât have a problem.
I know sheâs typically the last to leave, just by what Iâve observed in the past. While I shouldnât be stalking this little coding Kitten, I canât help myself. Leaning back against my car door while parked outside the front of the building, I think about the night we have planned together.
The newest band in Seattle booked my club tonight, and something tells me we both need the distraction.
Alek comes outside confidently at first, chin jutted out in pride. It doesnât last, something darker comes over his features as he breaks away from his pack and approaches me. He stands on the sidewalk, while I maintain my spot on the curb, settled with the fact that if he comes much closer, I will have reasonable suspicion that heâs going to harm meâthus giving me permission to cock my fist into his nostrils.
Or at least, thatâs what Iâd tell the authorities.
âI yearn for the day when I donât see your face outside my building unprompted.â
I roll my eyes exasperatingly, âYeah, yeah. Iâm sure. You havenât called me for an updated meeting, though. What happened to controlling the market together, as you used to put it?â
âWe need space,â he replies simply, âIâm putting out fires at work. No thanks to you.â
âMe? Why would you sit here and assume that Iâm doing anything to start fires at your place of work, Alek? Itâs not like, and Iâm just saying hypothetically of course, that you cornered my girlfriend and threatened her with the loss of her job after bruising her arm or anything. Only then would we have a problem, Alek.â
His eyes dart sideways, as if trying to get out of this circumstance with ease, âListen, what I say to my employees is my business, not yours. And we have the NDA she signed, so I hope youâre not saying sheâs accused me of anything. That would really put a damper on her job situation.â
I nod knowingly, hating this bastard more and more by the minute, âYes, well. I did mention it was hypothetical, of course. So, I think you should move on with your evening, Alek.â
He seems sturdy at first, but that rock wall of confidence slowly drifts to sand in the wind, exposing the frail mole rat beneath the posturing man in a suit that stands before me.
I spy my petite Kitten in the lobby, and the slightest thought of him hurting her has my boldness reaching new heights. Staring him dead in his cold, inky eyes, I add, âYou ever touch her again, or think to threaten that woman, and youâll need more than some flimsy NDA to take either of us down.
