Eighteen

I’d been grinning like an idiot all morning, and it was Jalen’s fault. After we made up, we’d spent the rest of the day together. It had started snowing not long after lunch, but it’d been one of those beautiful snowy days. Cold, but not bitterly so. Not a lot of wind. We’d bundled up and gone for a walk, then back to his place where we’d made hot cocoa and snuggled on the couch while binge-watching a vampire comedy series.

Topping it all off, he’d texted me this morning.

Do you have any plans for Thanksgiving? Rylan and Jenna invited me over, and I’d love for you to come with me. Or we can do our own thing. I just want to spend the holiday with the person I’m most thankful for.

I loved the invitation, and I accepted, whether we went to the Archers’ place or spent the day as just the two of us. It was his reasoning that had my stomach doing flips.

He was most thankful for me.

Handsome, intelligent billionaire Jalen Larsen was most thankful for me.

It didn’t seem possible.

I heard the bell I’d installed above the front door ring, and I pulled my focus back to my job. I could think about Jalen later.

“Come on back,” I called. “I’m sorry, I don’t have a receptionist yet.”

I straightened in my seat and opened my mouth to greet my prospective client…and froze as Evan Lee stormed into the office.

“Fucking bitch!”

As he continued to curse and pace, I stared at him, completely caught off-guard. I didn’t know how to handle this. He hadn’t threatened me, and I wasn’t even entirely sure if he was directing his colorful commentary at me, which meant I didn’t know if I was in danger. If I called the cops on him, I could end up ruining the reputation Adare had worked so hard to cultivate. If I tried to throw him out myself, I might be able to take him, but that might also be an insanely bad idea.

Shit. I really needed to get a second person in here.

“Mr. Lee.” I finally managed to get my voice back, and the words came out stronger than I’d hoped. “Mr. Lee, can I help you?”

He spun around and stalked toward me until I could smell the alcohol coming off him in waves. “Where are they?”

“Where are who?”

“Don’t play stupid with me! You followed them. You have to know where they are.”

“Your wife?”

He put his hands on my desk and leaned toward me. “Yes. My fucking wife and my fucking girlfriend who’ve been fucking behind my back!”

“I sent you all the information I found,” I said, keeping my voice low and even. “The only place I ever saw them was at the hotel, and I doubt they went back there. Are you sure they’re both gone?”

“You sent me that fucking video, and it’s all I can think about. I close my eyes, and I see my fucking wife with her face in my girlfriend’s twat.”

Wasn’t that charming? Still, I managed to keep a bland expression as he kept ranting.
