The waiter set the seared tuna dish down in front of Willa and the medium-rare premium cut of steak in front of Jadon. Willa said a quick thanks, which she had to immediately repeat as the waiter filled up her wine glass. The dinner so far had been rather uneventful. Nothing like the awkwardness of the conference room interview earlier that morning.

As put off as she’d been by James and Toni showing up, it gave her a fair bit of comfort. She no longer felt as if she needed to worm her way into Jadon’s inner circle. Now all she had to worry about was getting to his phone. She was sure she could eventually, but she had her doubts about getting to it tonight.

Jadon would probably go to the bathroom eventually, but he’d also probably take his phone with him. Maybe she could arrange a spilled glass of wine or something so unexpected that he’d forget to bring the phone with him?

“How is the new guy working out?”

Willa stopped with a piece of tuna midway to her mouth. “New guy?”

“I hate to stick you with someone you don’t know, but the entire controls department is in an upheaval right now, especially since Forbes is gone.”

A piece of the tuna went down the wrong hole. Willa started to cough and cleared her throat. “I keep forgetting he got arrested,” she lied. After she’d gone to him and begged him for help in dealing with the horror of her father, she couldn’t be happier he was out of the picture. Matt Forbes was the one who had taught her that Jadon wasn’t the only corrupted one around her. Her entire life in Chicago was inundated with people who could kill at the blink of an eye. In Matt Forbes’s case, he tried to kill her in the blink of an eye when he realized she wasn’t loyal to Jadon.

If it weren’t for Melody and Adam, she never would’ve survived that day.

“Forbes made his own bed.” Jadon cut into his steak and took a bite.

She supposed she couldn’t judge her father too harshly considering she wasn’t feeling all that much empathy right now.

She was still trying to figure out how to isolate her father from his phone when she noticed a bit of commotion from the front of the restaurant. Of course, when she looked up front, she happened to meet James’s gaze. He was dutifully standing by the front door and keeping an eye on her from a distance. Knowing he was there was alternately a comfort and kept her on edge. But he wasn’t what drew her attention.

A man was speaking harshly to the hostess. Willa couldn’t hear what he was saying but considering she knew exactly who it was, she could guess. “Your lapdog is here,” she muttered before she took another bite of the perfectly cooked tuna. Stan White was her father’s right-hand man. Willa had never been able to stand him because he was such an obvious kiss ass, but Jadon happened to like that aspect about Stan.
