“Why are you doing this story? Is this some type of trick? You seemed pretty confident you would have nothing to do with me after yesterday.”
Damn, is he smarter than I thought?
“Trick? Not at all. A story on a military vet doing good in the big city will get my journalism career back in gear. I want to do this story. Trust me.”
“Alright, I’ll trust you.”
He stared at me warily.
“Okay,” I said, my fingers on the keyboard. “I still need the name of your business.”
“We haven’t decided yet, right Max?” Cooper asked from behind me.
What the hell?
I spun around and saw him staring at me with his massive arms crossed over his chest.
“Cooper? What are you doing here?”
“I’d like to ask you the same question.”
“Now, now,” Max said.
Cooper and I both turned to him and said, “Shut up!” at the same time before looking back at each other.
“Why don’t you tell him the truth, Jade?” Max asked. “We’re here to fuck.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I asked, whipping my head around toward him.
“You know, baby. My cock.”
He grabbed his nuts and lifted them. Cooper rushed forward, ready to punch him. I stepped in between the two of them.
“Hold on,” I said.
“She wanted to put her hands all over me, bro, but I said no.”
“What the hell are you smoking, Max?” I turned to Cooper. “You don’t believe this asshole, do you?”
“Who served with you in the Stan, man? It was fucking me.”
Cooper turned his attention from Max back to me.
I pleaded to him with my eyes – please understand and believe me.
“I’m leaving,” he said, taking a step back.
“Wait, bro.” Max stepped forward. “Fuck her. Let’s do this business deal. Once you’re in, you can’t get out. Remember?”
“I’m leaving,” Cooper said, spinning around and walking toward the elevator.
Laura spilled out, pointing at Max, “She show you the article, mother fucker?”
Cooper walked around her and into the elevator. I rushed over, but the door closed just as I arrived.
“What’s wrong?” Laura asked, as clueless as ever.
“Ugh,” I sighed, stomping my foot as if that would help.
