“We can’t all fit in there,” Sage says.
“Yeah, you better leave the door open,” Clove adds.
I slam the door shut.
“How rude!” Cayenne shouts.
“Leave before I spill to the entire town of Winter Falls how those hot pink t-shirts you love to wear are actually not sustainable!” I shout back.
“You wouldn’t.”
“Watch me!”
I hear shuffling as the gossip gals depart. But I know my so-called friends haven’t left. I poke my head out the door.
“The rest of you need to leave, too.”
Moon frowns. “But we’re here to support you.”
“Support you? Help you kick his ass?” Harmony shrugs. “Whatever you need.”
“Including videoing any and all interactions.” Ashlyn holds up her phone.
Soleil sighs. “I got this.” She herds Moon, Ashlyn, and Harmony toward the restaurant. “Come on. First round’s on me.”
I wait until everyone’s gone before shutting the door again and whirling around to confront Miller. He steps toward me with a grin on his grumpy face. I hold up my hand.
“We need to talk.”
His brow furrows. “About?”
“How much of a jerk you are.”
He props his ass against the desk and crosses his arms over his chest. I will not notice his biceps popping. I will not. Okay, a tiny peak but this is the last one. Yep. They’re still magnificent. Which should have clued me in from the start. Only assholes have magnificent muscles.
“Care to explain?”
I fist my hands on my hips. “Care to explain? Do I care to explain? You’re the one who has a whole shit ton of explaining to do.”
He scratches his neck. “I don’t understand.”
I point at him. “You wouldn’t.”
“She’s mad you’re continuing with the expansion of the brewery after you told her you wouldn’t,” Moon shouts through the door.
“I told you to leave,” I yell at her.
“You obviously need help.”
I growl. “Don’t make me open the door again.”
“I’m leaving. I’m leaving.”
I wait but I don’t hear anything. “I don’t hear you walking away.”
“Geesh. This is the thanks I get for helping.”
I return to my confrontation with Miller, aka the king of assholes. His superpower? Using women for his own gain. No fancy cape for this guy.
