CHAPTER ELEVEN

The elevator door binged and then opened, and Gloria, still sipping her latte, made her way back to her desk outside her father’s office. She was late, which she hated, and she knew Blair Conyers, her boss, would be unforgiving. So she hurried. But when she made it to the end of the hall and opened the door that led to the suite of offices known as the Office of the President, and saw Gio Savarino standing in front of Blair’s desk, she slowed her walk. What was one of her father’s henchmen doing at S.I. again today?

“You’re late,” Blair said as Gloria made her way toward Gio. He was always a respectful guy whenever he was around her, but he had too much of that cloak of danger, like her father, to ever make her think of him as anything but her father’s flunky. She liked tough guys with brains, not brainless brawn.

And she ignored Blair this time. “What are you doing here?” she asked Gio.

“I’ve been assigned to you,” Gio said.

“Assigned to me?” Gloria asked.

“I just got the call from your father and came on over. He wants me to blanket you.”

Blair glanced at Gio from over the computer screen she was reviewing. Gloria could tell Blair had no clue what blanketing her meant. But Gloria knew what it meant. It meant her father wanted Gio to guard her and guard her closely because he feared something might be in the works.

But Gloria also knew Gio had this thing for her. She didn’t share his attraction, but Teddy assured her it was real. She therefore went to her desk, one of several behind Blair’s desk, sat down her latte, and pulled out her cell phone. When her father answered, he got right to the point.

“He’s there under my orders,” Mick said over the phone.

Gloria knew she had to lower her voice. Not just because Gio was present, but because Blair had on her listening ears, too. “Why Gio?” she asked.

“He likes you,” Mick said. “He’ll look out for you the way I need him to.”

“But guys in your organization who like me are usually the very guys you don’t want anywhere near me.”

“That’s still the case,” Mick said firmly. “But it works to our favor in this case.”

Gloria looked at Gio, surprised that he of all people would have her father’s stamp of approval.

“Do whatever he says,” Mick added. “You can trust him.”

Gloria continued to stare at Gio. And then nodded. Gio smiled and then took a seat in one of the chairs against the wall. She’d had security before, but not quite this close. “Should I be worried?” she asked her father.

“Always,” Mick said, and ended the call.

When Mick ended the call, he tossed his cell phone in the cubbyhole beside his gearshift, shifted his gear, and picked up even more speed. He was driving to the southside of Philly, to a warehouse he owned, in his four-seater Ferrari. Teddy was on the front passenger seat, and Joey sat in the back.
