His brows furrowed. “Nothing.”
“She didn’t leave on her own.”
“Whether or not she did, I had nothing to do with it.”
Ariana yanked her arm. Didn’t pull free. “You sure aren’t concerned for her safety.”
“Like I already told you, this is nothing new. You may think you know Rita, but you don’t. She knows how to put on a good act. She’s probably relishing the attention.”
“Let go of me.”
He didn’t. “You need to drop this. Understood?”
“This could be considered assault.”
His nostrils flared, but he released her. “You have nothing on me.”
“Unless the restaurant has cameras.”
Boone looked around before turning back to her. “Speaking of that, give me your phone.”
“Excuse me?”
“Hand it over. We both know you took pictures.”
“Did I?” she asked.
He squeezed so hard her knees buckled.
She punched him in the gut, though it did little good.
“You ready to comply yet?” Boone sneered.
“Let go of me first, then I’ll delete the pictures. But you’re not touching my phone.”
He shoved her against her car before letting go. “Don’t try anything funny.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it.” She rubbed her arm before pulling out her phone and going to the photos app, careful not to let him see the text she’d sent to the detective.
“Hurry up.”
She held the phone up so he could see her delete the first image.
He leaned in closer. “How many did you take?”
“I’m thorough.”
“Too bad it won’t get you anywhere.”
Thatwas yet to be seen.
Boone didn’t budge until she deleted all the pictures of him and his mistress.
She wasn’t sure if the images had already been backed up on the cloud, but what other choice did she have?
Ariana stepped back, rubbing her arm again. “Is this how you treat Rita when nobody’s looking?”
“You know her so well. Why don’t you tell me?”
