CHAPTER THIRTEEN

LIAM STRAIGHTENED HIS tie as he stepped out of the elevator and into Cybercore’s head office. He’d slept like shit and had no luck with the tracker he’d planted in the countdown clock code. She’d wiped her phone clean, and she’d done a fucking good job of it, too, which meant finding her again was going to take longer than he wanted.

In addition to running a comparison between the real and knockoff versions of The Shield, he’d deployed every weapon in his arsenal—tracking his laptop, trying to reestablish the link with her phone, reexamining the way she’d hacked into his party, in case there were any clues there.

He’d known she was a threat the instant he’d realized someone had sneaked into his party, but he’d been thinking with his dick. Let himself be intrigued instead of wary. And when she’d shown up at the yacht...fuck. He’d been a fool to let his guard down.

“Good morning, sir. I wasn’t expecting you in until tomorrow.”

The familiar voice pulled him out of his dark musings, and he walked over to his executive assistant’s desk.

“Was there a problem with the yacht?” Krista asked.

Without conscious volition, he touched the left side of his suit, where he had the fake Shield tucked away in the interior breast pocket. He assured himself it was just to make sure it was still where he’d put it, and not because he couldn’t shake the feeling that letting AJ, if that was her real name, off that boat might have been the biggest mistake of his professional life.

“You could say that,” he answered cryptically, accepting the envelopes Krista held up for him, as was their morning custom. “Anything I need to know?”

“Henry Mitford got called away on business, so he had to cancel tomorrow’s meeting. The soonest I could reschedule it was next Monday, which he agreed to, and he asked that I tell you he’s looking forward to seeing you at his party on Friday. On that front, your tux is ready for pickup. Did you want me to send someone for it?”

Liam shook his head. “I’ll take care of it.”

“Also, Jesse Hastings of Soteria Security arrived about an hour ago to upgrade the four computers running the antivirus software that you’ve been testing. I gave him access to the three computers that were on-site and explained that you had your laptop with you. He’s in the boardroom now, finishing up.”

“Sounds good. I do have one question.”

“Yes, sir?”

“Am I paying you enough?”

Krista smiled. “I can promise you I wouldn’t be this efficient if you weren’t.”

“Excellent.” Liam slapped the envelopes against his hand and made his way to the boardroom.

He arrived to find Soteria Security’s second-in-command hunched over a laptop at the head of the oval table. “Jesse.”

“Liam. Good to see you.” The man stood, and they shook hands. “Krista said you were out of the office today.”

“My plans fell through. I’m sorry for the improvised setup. I didn’t know you were coming by.”

Jesse grinned. “Join the club. But Wes insisted I come take care of the updates right away.
