“LIKE I TOLD YOU, Derek is a jerk. He actually said the upholstery in the boat was due for an update?”

“That he did. Well, not in those words, exactly,” Nullah says. “The way he put it was, his boat isn’t second hand like mine so the upholstery isn’t dated. I guess he’s so well-fixed he doesn’t mind pissing away thousands of dollars on depreciation.”

“Remember when your nose was out of joint because I didn’t take you to dinner at their place? I warned you.”

“My nose wasn’t out of joint,” he says. “I just thought it was weird.”

“To-may-to, to-maaw-to.”

“Okay, maybe I was a little miffed,” he allows, his dark brows drawing together in a frown. “Well, anyway, you were right. Finn was right. He’s definitely an asshole and not someone I want to spend any time with. I hope the P.I. that’s checking into the guy comes up with a reason to drop him from the list.”

“Why isn’t it enough that you both dislike him?”

He shrugs. “I guess because he ticks all the boxes. Finn’s really cautious. Doesn’t want another lawsuit alleging discriminatory hiring practices.”

“I don’t think a white male could make a claim like that. You’re allowed to hire who you want, so long as you don’t say you hired someone younger or who isn’t gay or something like that.”

“You’re probably right. I’ll call Finn and let him know he can tell the PI to down tools because I met the guy and don’t like him. I’m the one that lives here. I’m the one who would have to interact with him.”

“Right.”

“And that trip to Bute Inlet? We’ll be leaving without telling him.”

“I’m with you,” I sigh. “But at least the food was good today. My salad was, anyway. How were your ribs?”

“As good as always.”

“I don’t think Carly enjoyed her fish, going by how she poked away at it. I doubt she enjoyed anything about the lunch, for that matter. She looked embarrassed when Derek was telling you how much better he is than the other lawyers in his firm. But lunch wasn’t a complete bust. At least I found out why she’d been giving me the cold shoulder. That asshole told her I tried to kiss him.”

“What?” His dark eyes flash.

Although he agreed I did a fine of job driving the boat to the pub, the wind has come up and the chop is getting rougher so I’m on the bench waiting for the Gravol to kick in and Nullah is at the helm. He shakes his head as he looks at me and says, “we should’ve offered them a ride back to town so they didn’t have to wait for the ferry, and then I could toss the prick overboard.”

“You realize you’ve suggested throwing him overboard before? Is that your solution for everyone who pisses you off?”

“Naw, just the assholes who really deserve it.” He blows out a long breath. “Talk about full of himself! My god, he really thinks the sun shines out of his asshole,
