Chapter 17

KRISTEN

I worked in a small office by myself. I had no secretary or coworkers. It was nice knowing that I didn’t have to depend on anybody else to get my work done. Clients came to me and I handled all of the paperwork when they were interested in buying or selling their homes. There were times when businessmen and women would come to me talking about other property and I accommodated them. With so much open space in Ivory, there was never a shortage of work.

It wasn’t glamorous. I never bragged to anybody about what I did or how much money I made because I knew it wasn’t that interesting. But I was good at it. More importantly, it was more than enough to make ends meet.

Right now though, I needed it for something else. Everything happening with James and Sebastian and Agent Whitaker distracted me enough that I couldn’t focus. Thankfully, I didn’t have any meeting scheduled for the day, so I could take the time to myself that I needed.

It was the middle of the afternoon when my time alone was interrupted by a phone call from James. He didn’t say much. It was hard to read how he felt from his tone, though I didn’t imagine he was very happy considering everything that happened just last night. He called me in to see him. It wasn’t long before I was sitting in his office.

James had a place in Golden Hills. It was the one part of Ivory where they view was more beautiful than anywhere else. James stood next to the window of his spacious office, his arms behind his back as he peered down into the city.

“I’m sorry,” he said. “Where are my manners? Do you need something to drink? To eat?”

“I’m fine,” I said with a nervous laugh. “I had lunch earlier.”

“Yes. Of course you did. I’m sorry I couldn’t join you. I’ve been busy since this morning.”

“You don’t have to explain anything to me. Your schedule is always full.”

“Today it’s full as usual. But in a different way.”

He slowly turned around and walked toward me. He was smiling softly but it didn’t do much to mask the intensity in his eyes.

Something’s wrong…

I tried to shake my nervous anxiety but I could feel the chill all the way down to my bones.

He took a seat on the front of his desk before me and crossed his arms.

“Thugs. Criminals. Petty thieves. They’re all rampant in Ivory.”

“I’m sure you’d find those people in every city,” I replied.

“You would. But Ivory has a particular abundance of those people. Especially in such a small town. In a city of thousands, it makes those kind of people seem a lot more common, don’t you think?”

“I haven’t thought much about it but I suppose that’s one way of looking at it.”

“More specifically, there are a lot of MCs in this town. Motorcycle clubs. They’re really fascinating.”

“To outsiders. I’ve lived here for most of my life, so I’m kind of used to it.
