Crossing Mackenza Maxwell was a mistake.

And I couldn’t simply regret my decisions.

No. She punished me for them.

All of them.

I’d checked to ensure she did as I’d ordered—setting up the hairdressers and makeup artists to work on the models commissioned for the board meeting. And, for one perfect moment, I’d believed Mackenza had redeemed herself and acted in the best interests of the company.

I was an idiot.

Mackenza had begun the meeting without me.

Ten minutes early.

It might’ve been admirable for someone so eager to showcase the lingerie for the curious Board members, but I knew the brat.

And, by locking the door behind her and forcing me to chase a janitor over two floors to find a key, I knew to expect nothing short of a blistering headache from the woman I couldn’t deny and the employee I couldn’t fucking fire.

I flung the meeting doors open and interrupted Mackenza’s presentation—a presentation I hadn’t approved her to make.

But whatever she’d said, she’d sold it well.

And it’d helped that the woman was radiant.

Wasn’t sure what sort of illness made a woman more beautiful, but whatever stomach bug she’d caught had illuminated her skin and brightened her eyes. She still dressed mainly in black, but she indulged me with a cherry-lipped smile. Innocent and playful. Her best and worst qualities.

She’s snuck the threat of pink into her ensemble—a bubblegum belt and matching fingernails. Prepping for war.

The board applauded her proposal as she waved me toward an open seat. Of course, she’d taken mine at the head of the table.

I carefully picked my path to the table. The meeting room was usually a clutter of executive chairs, electronics, and men who’d long lost use of their prostate. She’d cleared it, setting a scene of soft classical music and gentle spotlights fixed on a make-shift path for a runway.

“Gentlemen…” She concluded her speech with a sunshine smirk. “I want to personally thank you for taking time out of your schedule for this critical meeting.”

She silenced me before I could speak by pushing me into the empty chair.

“And I want to thank Cameron for granting me this opportunity to present LACE Industries new line to all of you today.”

Shit.

“Mackenza…” I spoke through gritted teeth. “I meant to address the board today.”

“Absolutely, Cameron,” she said. “I’m sure the Board will have many questions for you. But I’m going to ask that they hold all issues, concerns, and comments until the end of the performance. Wouldn’t want to keep those lovely ladies waiting any longer, right, gentlemen?”

The brat winked at the row of elderly, nearly catatonic men, the majority of which had shuffled into the meeting with liberal uses of canes, walkers, and the assistance of third wives no older than their granddaughters.

Her confidence worked. The men might’ve eagerly awaited their own private fashion show, but Mackenza’s modest beauty was just the little blue pill the Board needed to look alive.

And she did her best to win them over, brushing her fingers over liver-spotted hands as she offered a hacking board member a glass of water.
