Chapter 9

Colton

Mr. Kaswell, your last meeting of the day is here. Should I send him in?”

I’ve been anticipating Mark’s visit all day since he called this morning. Learning all that I can about Ms. Ally has become my top priority.

“Yes, please send Mr. Pearson in,” I tell her before cradling the handset back onto the receiver. I can’t wait to see what he’s discovered.

“Colton,” he says, nodding as he sits opposite of me as we shake hands.

“Mark, thank you so much for your prompt attention. Did you find anything interesting?”

“Not really,” he says, pulling her file from his briefcase. “She seems like she’s good girl. Text book definition, too.”

“Really?” I lean forward as he slides the papers over to me.

“Yep, she graduated high school with a damn near 4.0 GPA, went to college at SLU, and excelled in all of her courses there, but one thing did stand out to me,” his voice trails off as I begin to look through her school records.

“What’s that?” I ask.

“Why is she working for you if she’s doing an internship for journalism? I can’t imagine working two jobs unless she just needs the money for student loans or something, but her parents seem like they’re pretty well off.”

“What?” My head snaps up from the papers, looking him square in the eye. “What do you mean she’s on an internship for journalism?”

“That’s what her records indicate and I did some digging at The Gateway Times, and she does, in fact, write articles there.”

“Fuck,” I hiss under my breath and look back up at him. “This isn’t good. She wouldn’t be working for me to pay off college loans. She’s here to get a story.”

“Now, that would make a lot of sense,” he nods in agreement. “I kind of thought that but I didn’t want to sway you in one direction or the other. The problem is, what are you going to do about it? You can’t keep letting her work for you.”

I don’t like the thought of her no longer working for me, but I can’t allow her to publish a story about me or the club.

“Is there anything else you found in the reports?” I ask him, hoping that he says no.

“Not much that I can think of,” he shakes his head. “You be careful with that girl. She’s got a pretty face and I know how you like to think.”

“How’s that?” My jaw drops open while my hand covers my chest as I act surprised.

“Like all men. Listen,” he checks his watch. “I’ve got to run but if you need anything else, let me know.”

“Will do,” I say as he bends down to pick up his brief case. “Thanks again and have a good night.”

“I’ll try, but there’s not a whole lot of fun following around a cheating husband so I can snap pictures as proof for the wife.”

“Uh-oh, one of those cases,” I say, opening the door for him.

“Yep. She’s going to hang him out to dry in court and she wants all the evidence she can get mounted against him.
