Chapter 21

Manning

“I hate leaving you,” I tell Evelyn while she walks me to the door. I spent the night with her in my arms. She stood with me until I was ready to go to bed. She tilts her head back, and I push her hair away from her face as she stands there in her robe naked underneath it. “I’ll call you later.”

“Okay,” she says, giving me one last kiss.

“Lock up,” I say and walk out, and she stands there looking at me as I drive away right when the sun comes up. I fucking hate this. I hate that I had to leave her.

I take my phone out and send Becca a text.

Me: Did you hire him?

I don’t know if she is going to answer me right away, so I put my phone down. It rings right away. “Yes,” she says, and I hear her panting. Becca has been one of the best people to have in my corner. She came to me about five years ago, and if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be as successful. She guided me in the right direction, and I would do anything for her.

“Why are you panting?” I ask and see that it’s almost five a.m.

“I work out from four thirty to six, seven days a week,” she says, and I shake my head. “This is what I have to do in order to eat cake, chocolate, and carbs. The question is, what are you doing up?”

“I’m on my way home,” I say. Two days ago, I went to her house and told her about Evelyn. She didn’t like it. Only because she didn’t want Murielle to hold it over my head. So she set a plan in motion, and hopefully, I’ll be free in the next month.

“Where does Cruella think you are?” she asks. She gave Murielle that nickname three years ago when she tried to get Becca fired.

“No idea. I didn’t see her at the game. I’m going home now. I’ll be there for Jaxon, and then I have no idea.”

“Well, I’ll see you tonight,” she tells me, and I don’t say anything. “You forgot, didn’t you?”

“What are you talking about?” I say.

“There is an ugly sweater party tonight. They do it every year before Thanksgiving. Nico invited me,” she says, and I suddenly remember. “He knows I am going to have the up-and-coming rookie sign with me, so he’s wooing me,” she pants out. “Anyway, I’ll see you tonight.”

She hangs up, and I get out of the car when I get home and walk in, carrying my jacket. I walk to my bedroom and slip into the shower. I slip on shorts and a T-shirt and get into bed, falling asleep until Jaxon wakes up at eight thirty.

He slips into bed with me, and I cuddle him while he watches television. He lets me sleep an extra hour before he complains he’s hungry. I get up, walking down to the kitchen to start the coffee and make him breakfast.
