“Of course!” She entered the office and sat on the floor next to him and his toys.
I followed Jenna through the doorway of Ian’s office, mainly because I was too nosy. Ian and Luke were strumming through the files but glanced back over their shoulders as we entered. Ian spun around, gawking at me.
“I don’t want you in here! Get out!”
Jenna crossed her arms. “She’s not going to tell anyone anything.”
He turned away, lowering his eyes back to his task. Jenna crept further in. I remained by the door, avoiding any further conflict with Ian.
SLAM!
My entire body jerked at the sound of him shoving a cabinet closed. He plodded to another cupboard, yanking it open and thumbing through the files. “Where the fuck is it?!” He pointed at me. “You!”
“What about me?” Darting my eyes at Luke and Jenna, I gulped, fighting back fear. I’d never seen him enraged like that.
“Amber, you were supposed to keep this shit organized!”
“Baby, hang on.” Jenna exclaimed, commanding his attention. Sauntering to his side, she laid a hand on his chest. “Don’t blame her for this. She isn’t the only one working on this project.”
“We need to have a meeting, Ian,” Luke murmured.
Ian marched to his desk, heaving his chair back, and sitting down. “Let’s have a fucking meeting then, Luke.”
“We need to do it somewhere we’ve never done it before.”
“Why?” Ian held his arm to the side, signaling Jenna.
She stepped over, placing her hand on his shoulder as he rubbed her backside. Luke peered around the room. He looked as if he were searching for something. Then, he plodded over to Ian’s desk, grabbing a sheet of paper, and scribbling something quickly. Ian picked up the note, reading it before scoffing and tossing it back onto his desk.
“Bugs?” He rolled his eyes. “Really?”
Luke placed his finger over his lips. A look of sheer worry washed over Jenna’s face. She backed away from the desk, holding her stomach. Her face turned ghostly. Ian jumped out of his seat, wrapping his arms around her.
“Are you okay?” He spoke with his lips against her head.
“I’m just having flashbacks.”
“Nothing like that’s going to happen again.” Turning to Luke, he gnawed the inside of his cheek. “My house for dinner, then we’ll talk.”
Luke grimaced, sucking in a sharp breath.
“What?” Ian barked, crossing his arms.
“I… uh… it’s just—”
“He and Jade are working on a surprise project.” I stepped up, speaking for him.
“It’s okay Amber, thanks, though. I got this.” Luke lifted his hand. “I can come tonight, but I’ll have to bring Jade’s daughter with me.”
Ian blinked rapidly.
Jenna and I peeked at one another before facing Luke.
“Jade has to go to her sister’s tonight for some sex toy party or some shit. Something for the club expansion?”
“You’re babysitting Madison?!”
“We weren’t really ready to discuss it.”
