Chapter 4 – Kristin
“Lainey, can you getJacques Berger, Harry Davies and Ben Tremblay together and set up a time for conference call?”
“Sure, I’ll do that right now. What time do you want me to set it up?”
“As soon as possible.” I told her and she disappeared to make it happen as Ryker came into my office.
“Mistress, one of the men from your earlier meeting is still here.”
I leaned back in my chair, “Which one?”
“McMurphy. He’s in the bar now. Do you want me to get rid of him?”
Now why was he still here? Was this his way of trying to talk to me alone, or did he want something else? “No, I’m interested to find out why he is still here. I’ll go down and speak with him myself.”
“Okay, Mistress.” He turned to leave but I stopped him.
“Ryker, can you tell Lainey to send someone down for me about fifteen minutes before the call?”
“Sure.” He smiled and was gone.
I was only four feet out of my office when Joshua showed up out of nowhere and startled me as he asked, “Where are you heading?”
“Down to the bar to have a conversation with Hugh McMurphy.” He nodded and I saw his lips purse as he joined me in the elevator. “You do know that I will be safe going into my own bar, right?”
He grinned, “Not taking any chances.”
“Well, make yourself scarce when you are down there, please. I’m hoping if I can get the guy to lighten up some, he might tell me the real reason for him coming here today.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
Hugh was sitting at the bar, and I joined him. He didn’t seem that surprised that I had, and I knew he had been hoping that I would get word he was here. After taking drinks back to a table, I tried to get a better read on him. While his mind was wide open, I wanted to use my old police instincts to figure him out. It was more fun sometimes and reminded me of where I had come from and how far I had gone in the last forty-one years.
I wasn’t surprised to see his sexual interest in me and realized that it might be the perfect way to break the ice. He was a very handsome man, and his mature sexuality oozed out of his pores. I could do with a good release.
Rex came to tell me the call was coming up, and he paused beside me,“What are you doing with him?”
“Trying to figure out what he wants.”I replied.
“He wants to screw you six ways to Sunday.” Rex replied.
“Yes, I am aware of that, but there is something more.”
“Whatever, are you alright with him?”
“Yes,”I nodded, and then turned and walked away without any further comment. He was just like his father, Trent. He always wanted to know what I was up to but knew that I could take care of myself.
I told Hugh I had to make a call and was getting up when I sent Ryker a message,“Ryker, take Mr. McMurphy up to my apartment.”
“Um, you’re apartment? You don’t want him in another room?”
