After spending a couple hours in my room, sucking down cup after cup of coffee and taking another shower, I was better than ever. I’d booked a flight for that evening, and since I didn’t know when I’d be back, I had to take care of a few small operational instructions to the staff and let Faith know to follow up.

As soon as I stepped off the elevator to my office floor, I heard her yelling at the top of her lungs. I’d know that scream anywhere. Kent Jr. apparently did too because he sprang to attention. I rushed down the hallway in search of the source of the commotion, skidding to a stop in the doorway of my brother, Dustin’s office.

“I don’t care if you want cash, a cashier’s check is just as good. You’re out of your effing mind if you think I’m going to prance around this town with fifteen thousand smackers in my purse. Do you want me to get shanked and robbed?”

Dustin stood behind his desk, his fingertips pressed to the top as he leaned forward. His eyes darted up to me, filled with amusement, the right corner of his mouth tilted up with humor.

“Well ma’am, here’s the boss. You can take it up with him. I’m done here.” Dustin moved around the desk, clapping me once on the shoulder as he passed me in the doorway, whispering, “I was just about to call you. You owe me, bro.”

Alexis whirled around on her heel—in those sexy as fuck red shoes—and stared daggers at me.

“You!” she screamed. “Is this bullshit your doing? Haven’t you treated me like shit enough?”

I had no fucking idea what she was talking about but damned if I cared. I would stand here for the rest of the day, and most of tomorrow, listening to her yell at me. Of course, my self-control would snap, and I’d tackle her to the ground and kiss her senseless, but I could wait. She was a fucking hurricane. Sooner or later, I’d reach the eye of the storm, then I’d pounce.

“I honestly have no idea what’s going on, Alexis,” I offered calmly.

“Which part? The part where your brother is trying to fucking strong arm us for cash like we’re shady gamblers who’ve run up a debt or the part where you treated me like shit?”

“Um, that first part. I’ve wanted to talk to you about that second one,” I said, gingerly stepping into the office, wishing I’d worn an athletic cup. At some point, this situation was going to wreak havoc on my testicles, I just knew it. Her stare spoke of nothing but my bodily harm and possible death. She looked like a fiery goddess bent on destruction but a goddess, nonetheless.

“The bookkeeper at Andrea’s company fucked up and didn’t send the first installment on the catering bill on time. I came here with a cashier’s check to make it right. Dustin is demanding actual cash. As if there isn’t already an abundance of it running through this place.
