“Let me know if I can help. I might have some samples I can let you have at a good price.”
“Seems you’re already donating the furniture.”
“What are you talking about?”
“My new client is Mike Matthews.”
They stopped walking. “How do you know Mike?”
“He said Ralph and Rhonda Patrick referred me.”
“You, did their apartment?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“I should have recognized your style.”
“And you didn’t have anything to do with my getting this job?”
“No. He mentioned he wanted to do his office and I told him, I would give him some furniture, that’s all.”
She nodded. “If that’s your story.”
“It’s the truth.” He looked around and stepped closer. Looking into her eyes, his immediate reaction was to wrap her up in his arms and kiss her. He stepped back and cleared his throat. “Kyla, I wish I were the one who referred you.”
“Why?”
“Because that would be another thing I know your boyfriend hasn’t done for you,” he whispered.
Chapter 39
“HI KYLA. SEAN WANTED ME to call and reschedule your meeting with Pastor Matthews,” Ryder said.
“Why?”
“He’s not going to be in this week.”
“Why not?”
“He had a little accident and he’s home on bed rest.”
“What happened? Is it serious?” she asked.
“He was helping unload the truck and he stepped down wrong. He twisted his ankle and bruised his thigh. His ankle is almost as large as Simon,” he laughed. “The doctor said he’ll be fine. He just needs to stay off of it until the swelling goes down.”
“I’ll call Pastor Matthews…”
“Sean already did.”
“Oh, okay. Let me know when he gets back in the office.”
“Will do, bye.”
“Bye.”
She picked up her cell and pressed the programmed number. Ring, ring, ring, ring. Voicemail. “Sean, I just spoke with Ryder. If you don’t call me back immediately, I’m coming over there.” She ended the call and felt her heart racing. She looked at her watch and started cleaning up her desk. She allowed herself to wait ten more seconds before leaving her office and going over to Sean’s. She picked Winnie up and started to put her in her case, when the barking dog ring tone caught her attention. She pressed the button and answered the call. “What’s going on? Are you alright? Why didn’t you call me?”
“Ky, calm down. Which question do you want me to answer first?” Sean asked.
