Chapter 7

Sunlight poured in through chiffon curtains waking me. I stretched before calling room service for two espressos to be brought up to my room. I’d had a restless night’s sleep and needed a major caffeine boost if I was going to make it through brunch. At least Paige would be there. She’d texted me several times last night. Mostly, pictures of mistakes two, three and four. I told her definitely, four and to find out if he had a friend. Which, she promptly told me he did and that she was inviting them both to her place.

I chugged the coffee and took a shower. I dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and lace dress shirt pairing my outfit with silver sandals. I wore my hair in a French fishtail braid with star hair rings entwined. I went light on my make-up. I twirled in the mirrored, pleased with how I looked.

Before I left for brunch I grabbed my iPad and sent an email to Duke, updating him on what I’d learn, explaining my progress and I attached a few more photos. I encrypted the file so that Duke would once again need Lilah to decode it for him. I grabbed my clutch then headed downstairs to the restaurant where the wedding brunch was at.

When I reached the foyer, Paige was standing outside the bank of elevators. “There you are,” she said putting her arm through mine and walking with me. “Are you nervous?” she asked.

“A little.”

She laughed. “Don’t be,” She leaned her head on my shoulder like we’d been friends for years and hadn’t just met last night. “Here’s the plan, when we arrive I will introduce you to the bride and groom. We’ll make it into a rhyming game.”

“A what?”

“Just follow my lead.” She muscled us through the gathered people straight over to the bride who was standing at the back of the restaurant near a wall of windows with an amazing view of the pool. No sign of the groom. I glanced around noticing no sign of Pierce either. Good. I wasn’t ready for a second go-round with him. Honestly, I wasn’t ready to play the ‘I don’t care’ game. I wanted to be nonchalant about Pierce but last night had affected me.

When he went off to take care of the blond woman, I’d had a momentary twinge of jealousy. I shoved it away because this was a job. Something I reminded myself of quite a bit. Lilah would be opening my encrypted email any moment. I’d attached a few photos of the blond woman. If anyone could identify her it was Lilah, but it would take her time. If I had a name I could cut that time way down.

Paige might know who the blond woman was. How did I casually bring it up without letting on that I wanted to know? It was important I find out who this woman was, in case she might be competition. With my current mission being to seduce Pierce I needed to know who or what roadblocks might lie before me.
