She was going to fight them with everything she had in her.
“What’s going on?” Marcy asked with great concern.
“They started with evictions, but I now have the name of the company involved,” she said as she pulled out her laptop. She searched for Infinity Construction only to find their site was down for maintenance, but she quickly grabbed a phone number and dialed the number immediately. It was still during office hours because she had left work early.
Oh, god, she had skipped work. Who was she now?
She barely listened to the woman on the other side recite her standard greeting.
“Hello. I wonder if you could help me. I’m trying to find the name of your CEO, but your site is down.”
“That’s because we’re under new management now and our site needs to be updated. We’ve been bought out by McLeod Enterprises.”
“What? Did you say, McLeod? As in Hunter McLeod?”
“That’s right.”
“Thank you,” Kensley said, the phone slipping from her hand.
Marcy stared at her, open-mouthed.
“The company that wants to tear down Everry Place is a subsidiary of McLeod Enterprises, owned by Hunter McLeod,” Kensley said unnecessarily because Marcy had heard every word of the conversation since she had the call on speaker.
Holy crapballs.
What were the chances?
Impossible.
And yet, here she was.
She started to pace the length of her lounge, chewed her lips, and wrecked her brain. Ultimately, Hunter McLeod, her new boss, was directly responsible for ruining her grandparents' lives. He also wanted to buy her body.
After a while, she flopped down next to Marcy, then sprang up again. The one thing she believed in was that she was never out of options. She just had to think.
Think. Think. Think.
But there was no way—
Or was there...
Her gaze landed on the contract. She scooped up the sheet of paper from the dining room table.
Could she?
Could she really pull it off?
“You're having whole conversations in your head by yourself again. Tell me what you're thinking, Kensley Reid.”
She bit her lip really hard as doubt started to set in. Was she insane for even contemplating what she was contemplating?
Thoughts of her gran and what moving anywhere else in the world would do to her, speared her heart. She would do anything for them. Whatever it took, whatever was required to keep them in Everry Place.
“I have a plan, Marcy. It's insane and possibly impossible. I might get laughed at; I might get ridiculed, but I'm going to do it anyway.”
She was going to counter-deal his deal, then counter-deal the new deal with another deal.
It didn't sound half as crazy in her head at all.
