Chapter Fourteen

Normally, Jason hated Mondays, since they meant resuming his work with Neil, but this Monday was different. Although both Jason and Anaru had agreed it would be best that Neil didn’t know of their relationship, neither he nor his lover wanted to wait an entire week to see one another again.

Which was why Jason was humming to himself as he packed a small case. He would spend a couple of nights through the week staying with Anaru. The case would have to stay in his car until he had an idea of what was happening that week, then he could confirm with Anaru which nights might work. But if the opportunity presented itself that night, he’d be ready.

After he’d zipped the bag closed, Jason patted it with a smile. At the end of the week there’s a public debate between some of the candidates, and Neil is one of them. But I don’t know what else he may come up with on short notice before that.

Still humming to himself, Jason loaded the case into the car and set off for the office. He’d left a little earlier than normal and the traffic was very light. Not expecting there to be anybody else in, Jason was surprised to see that Neil’s office door was open.

“Hello? Is anyone in there?” Jason called out as he made his way along the hallway.

“It’s me. About time you got in,” Neil replied, his tone terse, and Jason’s shoulders sagged.

What the fuck is he doing in so early? No wonder he sounds pissed off.

“I’m early and so are you.” Jason decided he was not going to let Neil spoil a morning that had started off so promising.

“I had things to organize.” Neil looked up, glowering at Jason from behind his desk. “Speaking of which, where were you yesterday?” Neil drummed his fingers on his desk. “I wanted to discuss something and couldn’t get hold of you. You never told me that you’d be away, and you didn’t answer any of my texts or calls.”

“I’m not tied to you twenty-four seven, Neil. I am allowed time off to do personal things. I already give far more time to you than you pay me for.” Jason tilted his chin at Neil, determined to stand his ground.

“Personal things.” Neil’s scowl deepened, causing the odd growth on his forehead to move as if it possessed a life of its own. “Personal things. If you’re going to be away again, you tell me first.”

There was something so cold about Neil’s tone that any argument Jason had considered died on his lips.

“Okay. Well, I’m planning on fishing next Saturday and Sunday, so I’ll not only be away but also can’t guarantee reception either, so don’t expect me to be replying to calls or texts.”

“Fishing? Since when did you become interested in fishing?” Neil’s eyes narrowed. “Are you seeing someone? That nephew of Gordon Ropata, perhaps? You do know he’s helping his uncle? He’s a rival. The only reason he’d be interested in you is to get information on me.
