Chapter Seven

Lori was tempted to call in the next day, but she didn’t want to appear as humiliated as she felt. So, she went back to her office, bringing only one coffee per brother this time. For a while, no one showed up, and she was almost glad to think she wouldn’t have to interact with anyone all day. But then the main door opened.

Lori was on her computer, doing more research on the twins’ business now that she knew what to look for. At the sound of the door, she looked up to see only one Mr. Jones enter. Judging by his expression, it was Owen.

“I thought I’d find you here,” he said.

“This is where I’m supposed to be, isn’t it?” she asked in a flat tone.

“Not today,” he said. “You’ll be coming with me.”

“What for?” she asked.

“Because I said so.”

“That’s not what… never mind,” she said, grabbing her purse. She followed him out the door and to the exit.

It felt strange, sitting in the back of a private car that matched the one she had been in the other day. Only now, she sat on the right side of the back seat, with Owen to her left; the mirror image of where she’d been before.

For a while, neither of them said anything. She was still a little peeved at him for snapping at her, even though she understood the reason. But more than anything she just didn’t have patience for nonsense today. They eventually pulled up to a curb across from a vacant building.

“Since you have a better understanding of what we do now,” Owen spoke up, “We’ll be scouting out new buildings for a client. They want to upgrade their shop and they need a better location. I’ve had several spots picked out, and we’re going to inspect all of them so that we can narrow down their search.

“Alright,” she muttered.

He looked over at her. “What’s your problem?”

“Nothing,” she said a little defensively.

“Well[TMW1], I hope you’re not going to talk that way around the estate agents.”

She turned away from him and rolled her eyes. “I won’t.”

She heard a small huff behind her. “I didn’t think I’d gotten to you so much.”

“You didn’t.”

“Sure, looks like it.”

“Maybe it wasn’t you.” She turned to look at him directly. “Ever think about that?”

He looked amused. “Really? What did he do?”

She looked away without answering.

“Whatever is was, it must’ve been bad. He’s not usually the one who gets to people.”

“He’s your identical twin. I’m sure it happens from time to time.”

“Well, whatever the case, get a grip before we meet with the agents. If you make us look bad, you’re out on your ass.”

She huffed and opened her door after he did.

As promised, she gave her best smiles and friendliest tones to the agents as she was introduced, but had little more interaction with them after that. So, she simply tried to keep a pleasant look on her face as she listened to what they had to discuss with her boss.

But her mind wasn’t really with it.
