Chapter Nineteen

JENNY

It's been five hours since Ryder left me in the desert.

Five hours since I've talked to him and tried to figure out why he hasn't called. Why he didn't stop at the hotel to pick up his things.

Five hours since I gave up on him, deciding that I might as well get a full night's sleep.

Only problem is…that isn't exactly true.

I haven't given up on him. And I'm more worried than I care to confess.

After a few hours of room service dinner and finishing up some work, I'd expected him to walk into the hotel door any minute. When he hadn't by one, I turned my phone on to call him, but it told me it couldn't connect to the network. We were in an antenna dead zone. So…I waited.

I took a shower. And waited.

Changed into a new pair of cotton shorts and a tank. And waited.

Drank two mini bottles of white wine from the minibar. And waited.

I've already missed the five o’clock meeting I was supposed to have with Julian Sabado about replacing Ryder as CTO. I was supposed to leave privately to go over some details today with him, but I don’t know what I'm going to say to him now.

Now that I've seen what Ryder's app can really do. Now that I've seen why he doesn't want to give it up to me or anyone else. Now that I've seen how even though he acts like he doesn’t want to care, he worships the Hare & Holeton brand.

I glance down at the multiple messages from Julian that have gone unanswered, a rush of emotions surging through me.

Confidence.

Fear.

Excitement.

In a last-ditch effort to calm myself down, I text Carmina, who’s landed in southeast Asia by now, all to monitor yet another billionaire Anderson brother—Quentin.

I finish off my third minibar bottle of wine as I type to her.

I'm worried about Ryder. He's not answering his phone.
