It doesn’t take long before she’s dressed, and the stomping of her feet echoes across my tile floor. “Thanks for the ride last night, asshole.” She walks past me, then stops. “Oh yeah…and here’s your stalker phone.” Pulling it out of her purse, she sets the device on the counter. She goes to leave when I stop her.

“Where are you going exactly?”

She twists to face me, her eyes throwing daggers. “Uh, I’m leaving, as you so rudely requested.”

I toss the file I’m holding on the long counter, forcing her to catch it before it falls to the ground. “I told you to get ready. I didn’t tell you to leave.”

“You said be ready. Pretty much same thing.”

“Correct, because I want to show you something. I’d hate for you to walk through the club naked…unless that’s what you prefer now that you’ve earned your naughty stripes.” I can’t hide my smile. Her blushing cheeks please me like no other. She doesn’t know what to say, which makes me even happier. About time I found a way to shut her up.

She loses our little stare down battle and brings her eyes to the folder. “What is this?” She opens the file and scans the documents inside.

“It’s the numbers from last night. Total capacity, bar totals, private room fees. Profit and loss. I want you to look at it.”

Her head snaps up. “Why?”

“Your major is business, isn’t it?”

She returns with a peculiar look. “Yeah, but I know nothing about running a business.”

“You know enough to point out the club is over capacity. The bar is losing money. The private rooms are lacking toys.” I throw the last one in to mess with her, and her eyes go wide.

“I know nothing about—”

“I’m kidding. Now, if you’re ready, walk the floor with me.” I place my coffee mug on the counter and escort her to the main floor. I start reading off the information I know from what I scanned earlier.

“You’re right in your observations. The bar is losing money. Since the increase in membership over the last two years, the place is overbooked. We’re packed every night. That’s even after allowing the headcount to go over capacity by three percent.”

I walk Jensen through the closed bar area. The bar is so different in daylight. If I didn’t know what really took place at night, I would easily mistake this club for a normal establishment. But after all these years, the things I’ve seen…endured…the person it’s turned me into, I won’t change my decision, and I need someone from the outside I can trust. Fredrick has shown his true colors as of late. I need someone who will give it to me straight. Besides Simmons, there are very few people I trust to handle this. And strangely enough, Jensen is one of them. I want out, and she’s gonna help me do it.

“So, I’m still confused. What exactly is it I’m looking for?”

We walk across the empty dance floor to the other side of the club, and I lead her into the conference room off to the side.
