also because she was willing to try to deal with Wade. Try being the key
word. Kiera would give the retro loving, far too pretty and perky, bubbly
new hire another point if she could actually deal with the guy for more than
a few minutes.
Keira cleared her throat. “Sure. If you want to try to deal with Wade, you
can try to deal with Wade. I decided we’d do the trailers starting tomorrow.
I’ll just be in my office working on lining up some new picks and following
up on some leads. There’s an auction at the end of the week that I didn’t

Kiera walked away, grinning to herself, before she had a chance to hear

and on Wade, until she was sure she could creep up somewhere unseen and
listen to what promised to be the most entertaining thing she’d likely
encounter all week.
With any luck, Romi would dig her own grave and quit before her two-

she just might. By the time Kiera hit her office and locked herself in, she
already had a plan half formulated. She didn’t really want Romi to quit, but
she didn’t trust having her around either. She could still feel the traitorous
throbbing south of the border from just a glance and a simple handshake.
Romi would indeed likely weed herself out if given a series of tasks that
made her realize this wasn’t the job for her.
Later, after the Wade shit show went down, she’d find Wynn and have a
