Chapter Twenty-Seven

Jack

Damn her. Hearing her story upset me. Why the fuck would I be upset? Maybe because I cared about her and I shouldn’t. Throwing a kid in the mix changed everything. There was no way in hell I could get involved with her when she had a child. I planned to move past all of this, to go about my life and my business like I did before I ever laid my eyes on Lorelei.

I got up from my desk and told her that I was going to the accounting department. When I stepped into Bradley’s office, I asked Wes, the person working on Bradley’s computer, if he found anything yet.

“I did, Mr. Sutton. I was just coming down to your office. Something doesn’t seem right. The offshore accounts that Bradley put the money into are in the name of Kit Sutton, your mother.”

“What? Are you sure?”

“Yeah. I was able to hack into the bank’s system and the accounts are in her name. So technically, Bradley hasn’t embezzled anything. He’s been putting the money away for your mom.”

I stood there in disbelief as I stared at the computer screen, pondering why my mother would do such a thing.

“Thank you. I appreciate your hard work.”

“No problem, Mr. Sutton. It’s my job.” He smiled.

I took a seat behind Bradley’s desk and called Lindsey into the office.

“Yes, Mr. Sutton.”

“Has my mother been down here to see Bradley?”

“A couple of times. But I know they’ve met outside the company.”

“How do you know that?”

“I saw them one night having dinner at Sage and they were arguing. Your mother was pointing her finger at him. I couldn’t make out what they were saying, but I could tell she was angry.”

“Did they see you?”

“No. They didn’t.”

“How long ago was this?”

“About a month ago. I remember because I took my boyfriend there for his birthday. I’m not going to get in trouble, am I?”

“Of course not. I appreciate you telling me. You have nothing to worry about.”

“Thank you, Mr. Sutton.”

As I was walking back to my office, I saw Lorelei come out of the bathroom.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

“I’m fine. Are you?”

“Yes.”

“Good,” she spoke with a hint of an attitude and sat down at her desk while I went into my office and shut the door.

A few days passed and I still hadn’t talked to my mother about the accounts. Nor did I tell Coco what I found out. I was waiting for the private investigator with the hopes he’d find Bradley first. Lorelei and I held very small conversations during the day and they mainly concerned work. I had some paperwork to give her, and when I opened my office door, I saw Hope run to Lorelei and give her a hug.

“Hey, baby, what are you doing here?” she asked.

“We wanted to know if you want to go to lunch with us. Auntie Stella said it would be okay to come here and ask you. Plus, I wanted to see where you worked. Hi, Mr. Sutton.” She smiled as she looked at me with her blue eyes.
