Chapter Twelve

With Maddox gone and presumably on his way back to the set, Yohanna was about to walk out of the trailer herself. She stopped just short of the doorway when she thought she heard the actor talking to someone who was right outside the trailer door.

If she came out of the man’s trailer just now it might create an awkward scene, so she remained where she was, waiting for Maddox and whoever the actor was talking to, to leave.

Standing there, it was impossible not to listen. After a second she realized that the other voice belonged to Lukkas. Her boss had probably gotten tired of waiting for someone to bring Maddox to him so he had gone to look for the actor himself.

That still didn’t change her feeling that coming out of Maddox’s trailer at this point would be awkward, so she continued to wait where she was as patiently as she could until the two men stopped talking.

It wasn’t long.

Maddox’s last remark to Lukkas made her think the actor was heading back to the set and back to work. Score one for Lukkas.

Yohanna decided that the best thing to do was to give herself to the count of five before descending the trailer steps and heading back to the set.

Counting off the numbers in her head, she’d gotten up to four when she heard Lukkas raise his voice and say, “You can come out now. Unless, of course, you want to continue playing hide-and-seek.”

Yohanna came out instantly. “How did you know I was here?” she asked as she made her way down the steps. Since he was right there at the bottom step, she was all but toe-to-toe with Lukkas.

“Easy. Maddox looked as if he was a hurricane survivor. The only hurricane I know of in the area is you,” Lukkas replied. “And I heard what you said to him in the trailer—the door was left open,” he pointed out in case she’d forgotten. “Nice job. You went a little off book,” he told her, since she had strayed from his initial message. “But in general you’ve got good instincts.”

What had surprised him most of all when he’d listened to her talking to the actor was that she hadn’t fawned over the man the way almost everyone else on the set did. “Someone else would have been intimidated by Maddox’s fame and personality—”

“I don’t like people who abuse their positions—or use it to seduce young, impressionable girls,” she added with a frown. She had a feeling that even if Rachel had been underage and the actor had known it, it wouldn’t have made any difference to him.

He grinned as he walked back to the center of the set with Hanna. “I kind of got that impression when you read Maddox the riot act.”

“No riot act,” she denied calmly. “I just gave the man a glimpse of his future if he didn’t get his act together and change—like, immediately.”

Lukkas was having trouble hiding his amusement. The woman was feisty—and he found that to be very attractive.
