Chapter 7

Mariah stepped off the commuter bus and headed down the main street toward Armor Con. After speaking with Armando last night, his call a Godsend after what she’d let Quentin, Axel, and Deacon do to her, she was on her way to the meeting. Well, more like a tour of the facility and lunch with Armando afterward.

She smoothed out her slim fitting, Ann Taylor dress, minus the light button-down sweater she held in her bag. Her matching cream-colored platinum designer heels matched her dress perfectly, along with the light strip of cream-colored lace that fell below the hemline of her dress. When she walked, the lace stretched right above her knees. The look was very sophisticated, and she wanted to pull off maturity and class.

Just being in a city made her feel more professional and in her realm. She wasn’t blind to the looks she was getting as she made her way toward the office buildings. One man held the door open for her and winked. He had very kind-looking eyes. They were brown, and there was something familiar about him. She didn’t give it a second thought as she scanned the front lobby and located the main desk and directory.

“Miss Langcaster?” She heard her name and turned toward a tall man, dressed all in black. She felt her body tighten immediately and went on guard.

“My name is Henrique. I work for Mr. Secca. He’s expecting you. Would you please follow me?” he asked.

She nodded her head as he gave her body the once-over. Gripping the sweater tighter, she wondered if she should believe his word. She didn’t know him, nor did Armando mention sending someone to meet her.

She paused. He turned around and stared at her.

“Mr. Secca didn’t mention that you were going to meet me. Could you please call him and confirm this? I’d like to speak with him first,” she said. He just stared at her a moment and she wasn’t certain what he was thinking. Did he think that she was some pain in the ass woman? She didn’t give a shit. Her brother had always warned her to be in tune to her gut instincts and to always ask questions. People doing something wrong would screw up sooner or later.

He pulled out his cell phone and hit a number.

“Yes, sir. She is right here. But she will not follow me. She said you didn’t mention this. Yes, she would like to speak to you.”

He handed the phone to her and she felt her cheeks warm with embarrassment. “Hello?”

As she heard Armando’s voice and then he confirmed that Henrique was head of his personal security team, she felt foolish. She said thank you and then handed the phone to Henrique. He placed it onto his hip and as his jacket moved to the side, she noticed the gun. She swallowed hard. Armando did say head of his security team.

As soon as she got into the elevator she cleared her throat.

“I didn’t mean to insult you, Henrique.
