“What the fuck are you talking about?” Seth demanded.

“Guess he saw her walking and felt she was to blame for whatever went down at that meeting. Was he correct? Is that why you refused his business?” Sal asked.

“It sure in hell is. If you saw how he…looked at her, you’d have done the same,” he half growled. Even now he felt his body tense with anger. Seth hadn’t allowed himself to do what he’d actually wanted. For one reason only, he was there representing the entire family and Lawson Steel. But even now, he wished he’d knocked Sheen’s ass out.

“It appears he’s putting the blame on Charlene and not his own actions. I haven’t been able to confirm whether or not they are just empty threats, but I’m taking them as though they’re not.

Threats? “Sal, I need you to tell me everything.”

“I planned on it. By the way, are you in Tabiq yet?”

“No. We’re still in the air.” Right now he wasn’t sure he wouldn’t be having the pilot turn the jet around. If she was in fact in any danger, he needed to be there.”

Sal updated Seth with everything he had been told from Charlene. So he’s the guy she was talking about. Seth wanted to be relieved, but he’d rather Charlene detest him, if it meant she was safe. “Damn it Sal. You don’t need to question whether Sheen’s threat is valid. I’m telling you, he’s an asshole. He meant it. And I’m counting on you to keep her safe until I return.”

“And when will that be?” Sal asked.

“I’ll be back in New York by tonight. And Sal, I want her to be at my place. It’s got top of the line security.”

“I suggested that to her. She refused.”

“I’ll call her. She’ll go. And Sal, nothing better happen to her, do you understand?” Seth warned.

“Seth, I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing this for Charlene. She’s like family to me, to my sister,” Sal replied firmly. “I have no idea what made you take off like you had, but don’t think for a minute that I didn’t notice how it affected Charlene.”

“What are you talking about?” Seth asked. He’d spoken to her earlier, and she didn’t sound bothered by it at all.

“She became quiet when I mentioned your name. And last night, when I told her you had business to attend to I saw it in her eyes. Charlene expected you to be there. And Seth, you should’ve been. And I’m not saying that because she works for you either.”

Seth wanted to be wrong and there be something more there. He had felt it that night at her house for dinner. She made him feel…relaxed. It’s not something he normally felt. Usually his mind was running constantly on business. If not what he was working on, then what was coming next. When he was with Charlene, he actually got lost in the moment and had to force himself to think about tomorrow.

“I fucked up. When I return, I’ll explain to Charlene.
