“What are you thinking?” I muse.
Her forehead crease gets even worse.
Suddenly, she looks up.
Right into my office.
I jolt back, my chair spinning like a top and my heart thumping hard as I try to pretend that I’m not staring at her.
The door bursts open.
Levy hustles in, a big smile on his face.
I scowl. “What?”
“Thought you weren’t coming to the office?”
I try to shift my chair so I can peer at Elizabeth. “Changed my mind.”
“Really?” Levy inches to the left, blocking my view of my troublesome wife.
I lift my head.
Glare at him.
“What are you doing?”
“You’re taking over the company now?”

“The key card to your grandmother’s suite.”
“You mean the penthouse?”
“It’s paid for by the company. No mortgage. No bills. I had the cleaner in this morning. You and Elizabeth shouldn’t have any problems. ”
I lean forward. “Why are you giving me this?”
“The money you save on rent can go to the little girl you’re trying to help.”
I stiffen. “How do you know…?”
“Every penny of your advance was deposited into her account at the children’s hospital. I put two and two together.”
I grit my teeth and struggle with my rising desire to grab the keycard and chuck it. Taking my grandmother’s job was bad enough. Taking her driver and now her apartment?
