CHAPTER 11

JASON

“Now,” he said as they stepped into the lobby of the tower. “There’s a really good chance this might end right here and now.”

“What do you mean?”

“My uncle...he was pleased with my job performance. But that was all he was pleased with. He didn’t care for my...extracurricular activities.”

“What are you talk—” Lexi caught herself, and Jason could tell she’d realized mid-sentence what he was referring to. “God, you’re such a jackass.”

And to his surprise, Jason was a touch embarrassed by what she’d said. Never had he been ashamed of his sexual past—and he still wasn’t—but something about Lexi’s words gave him pause.

“Maybe, maybe not. But I was single, totally unattached. What was I supposed to do on the weekends?”

She grinned. “I don’t know—read a book like a normal person?”

“You mean like a nerd like you?” he matched her grin with one of his own.

Lexi chuckled, put her hand on Jason’s arm, and gave him a shove. Together, they made their way to the front desk, the young woman working there smiling broadly as they approached.

“Welcome to Grizzly Holdings,” she said. “Do you have an appointment?”

“Grizzly Holdings,” Jason heard Lexi say under her breath. “Cute.”

“An appointment?” asked Jason. “Uh, not exactly. But I’m here to see Stone Rainbringer.”

The girl’s eyes flashed. “Stone Rainbringer? As in, the CEO? I don’t think...”

“You don’t need to think, gorgeous,” said Jason. “I’m his nephew—I worked here until a week or so ago.”

“You’re his nephew?”

“That’s right. So, just get him on the line and tell him I’m here to see him. He’ll send me right up, I’m sure.”

She nodded, picking up the phone.

“You’re sure about this?” asked Lexi.

“Not entirely.”

“‘Not entirely’?”

“I mean, there’s a good chance he’ll tell me to screw off. Better than a ‘good chance,’ maybe. But no big deal if he does. We’ll figure something out.”

That answer didn’t appear to put Lexi at ease.

“His secretary said to come right up,” said the clerk as she set down the phone.

“Yes!” said Jason under his breath. “I mean, very good. Thank you for your help.”

“Take the private elevator around the corner to the executive level. But then again, you probably knew that already.” She smiled broadly.

Jason and Lexi thanked her again for her help, the two of them made their way down the long elevator hallway to the end. A guard checked Jason’s name and opened the elevator door. They stepped in and were off.

“Wow,” said Lexi, turning around to look through the glass wall of the elevator, the city rising up as they went higher and higher. “This is amazing.”

“Wait until you see the view from my uncle’s office. One of the best in the city, if you ask me.”

They went up and up, the doors eventually opening when they were far above nearly every other tower nearby.

The place was abuzz as they entered, well-dressed men and women zipping here and there, all with the same purposeful expression on their face. The walls were floor-to-ceiling glass, affording a three-sixty sweep of the city.

Everything about the place screamed power and prestige.
