“I do. Did you want me to work on the schedule? Or is there anything you need me to order and get here?” he asked.
“Dr. O’Connor submitted an order for all supplies prior to leaving. If you would like to use his office to confirm when the items should arrive, that would be helpful.” I really had no idea what to have Brice do. I knew what Finn did. Brice wasn’t a doctor. There had to be a reason why Finn chose Brice to be here.
Just wish you had shared that information with me.
“I will do that. And if you have any questions regarding that lecture you’re listening to, I’d be happy to answer them.”
“You know about politics?” I asked.
He nodded. “I actually know that person who gave that lecture.”
“Seriously? Do you think they would help Re...President O’Connor with her campaign?” I asked, upset at myself for almost using her first name.
“I could, but she would need to be the one to ask me,” he stated. “I try not to not to give her any advice unless she reaches out directly to me. Like I just told you, I’m here to support, that’s all. Unless there is something you know that I don’t, and I should call her.”
“No. Nothing.” I hoped he believed me because I wasn’t sureIbought that reply.
He looked at me for a moment, then said, “I look forward to working with you. I’ll be in Finn’s office if you need me.”
“And I will have my cell phone with me if you need me,” I reminded him, holding it up.
I didn’t want any more surprise visits. I liked the routine I had for myself. I preferred running a certain way. That was funny because being a nurse was anything but routine.
I chuckled to myself as I left the room. Ever since I had spoken to Reesa in that exam room, nothing had been the same. And from what my gut said, it was only going to get a lot worse.
I’m on for the ride, but I don’t like it.
CHAPTER4
Ryker
“Are you ready for the meeting with Reesa?” Bennett asked when I opened the door to my suite.
“As ready as I’m ever going to be. It’s not like I’m working for her, just listening and giving advice, as you’ve already reminded me a million times,” I grumbled. “I haven’t finished my coffee. Might as well come in and have one too.”
“Thanks, but I’ve been up for hours. The last thing I need is more coffee.”
“Why were you up so early?” I asked.
“Work,” he replied.
“Really? I never would’ve guessed,” I said sarcastically. “You do know that you can tell me what you do here, and I won’t share the information with anyone if you tell me that it’s confidential.”
“I know. “
Still nothing. Not sure he was ever going to share what was going on here with any of us. But that meeting with Reesa hopefully would shed some light on it. Bennett seemed clueless that this was the reason behind me wanting to meet with her. I mean, what did I care who won the presidential election? This was not my country. I knew nothing about Tabiq. It was quite possible that she was not the right candidate.
It would make things a lot easier if I asked Bennett questions, but I’d rather hear it from her. The more time I got to spend with Reesa, the more likely I’d understand what the hell was going on here.
My coffee mug was empty, and I placed it on the table. I’d call room service when I returned to retrieve it. “Guess we should head out.”
The SUV was already parked in front of the entrance. I thought Bennett and I would chat on the way, but he was tuned into his earpiece and having a conversation. Bennett seemed to be doing more listening than the person on the other end.
“If you would rather go another time, that’s fine with me,” I stated, honestly. I knew Meri wanted me to pay a visit to her sometime today too but that wasn’t on the top of my list.
He shook his head and kept driving. It wasn’t long before we were at Reesa’s office, but he just put the vehicle in park and stayed tuned into his earpiece. I checked my emails on my cell phone while he finished up. Five minutes later, he turned off the vehicle and said, “Let’s go.”
Slipping my phone into my jacket pocket, I got out of the SUV and followed him inside.
