CHAPTER TWENTY

Tony

When I walked off the private elevator into the penthouse, I was disappointed not to see Cane. I’d missed him and had hoped to share a private look before I had to get to work. Even better if Bruder disappeared for a while and Cane and I could make out.

Bruder was on his phone and waved me toward the stairs. I went, glad not to have to make small talk with the man. Once in the office, I booted up the computer, and while I could still hear Bruder talking downstairs, I took the opportunity to insert a small flash drive into the port. Bruder had given me access to his files the day before, but it was difficult to look into what he was up to with the man frequently coming up to see what progress I’d made. That day, I was supposed to be checking out what his competitors offered as compared to the B-Natural line. He was pretty picky about the information he wanted. I didn’t have time to search his files, but I could download them and take them home to look at.

While the files were copying, I snooped around in the office but as I’d assumed, Bruder didn’t keep anything he wouldn’t want anyone else to see in there. I was sure most hard copies were locked up in the seventh-floor offices, but I quietly walked down the hall and peered into Bruder’s bedroom just because I might never get another chance.

Bruder’s voice droned on downstairs, still a distance from the staircase. It rose in anger several times. I bet it was a real bitch working for him, and I thought of Cane and how he’d been trapped with this guy for years and how that had made him stoic and withdrawn. My determination doubled to get him away from there for good.

I’d passed Bruder’s girlfriend in the lobby when I’d arrived, so I knew I was alone upstairs. She’d given me a wave and even walked me to the private elevator and punched in the code, sending a text to Bruder that I was on my way up. She seemed too nice for a guy like Bruder, but some women only cared about the perks that came with money.

I looked in the closet. Other than an array of suits and some of Shika’s clothes, I didn’t find anything interesting. I opened drawers. Bruder had quite the collection of sex toys, including blindfolds and handcuffs. Karl Bruder struck me as someone who would get off on having control, and that obviously overlapped into the bedroom.

Sudden footsteps on the stairs sent my heart into my throat, and I rushed back to the office. I’d barely gotten the flash drive out and into my pocket before Bruder appeared at the door.

“Everything going all right?” he asked.

“Fine,” I said giving him a distracted look and hoping I didn’t appear out of breath.

“Help yourself to drinks or whatever from the kitchen. I’m going to be on and off the phone all afternoon.
