I don’t need this right now.
Theydon’t need this right now.
“I mean, this isn’t someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. They flew under the radar long enough without you noticing.”
Pricks.
“Might just be a misunderstanding, of course,” Ben adds.
They’ve been processing the payments as an expense, making it look like an onsite portaloo company. Which made sense until the payments got a little high. The fuckers filed fake invoices monthly to trip me up, looking legit, but when I couldn’t find a single name on the bank account, I knew something was up.
“It’s not a misunderstanding.”
I think back on all the women Elliot and Mase have dated but draw blanks. I sigh. It’s more likely to be someone within the company or a business rival. “Look into Hemmings and his son Cooper. They’re shady as shit.”
Ben nods.
“What about Mason’s current fling? You didn’t think much of the woman when he first started seeing her a couple of months ago. Could she be paying someone?”
Nina doesn’t have any money. She’s got debt, if anything, for that studio she rents. “She has motive.”
His eyes lift. “You think she’d do it?”
I shake my head, at a loss. Fuck no.
My phone rings in my pocket, and I walk to my desk, pulling it out to find Scarlet’s name flashing on my screen.
“You miss me already?” I hear cars in the distance and frown. “Where are you?”
“I’m meeting the girls for lunch while Dad goes to his appointment. And yes, maybe a little.”
“Does that mean you’ll be in my bed tonight?”
“No.”
“Baby Lowell—”
“You’ll be in mine.”
I smile, turning toward the floor-to-ceiling windows so that Ben can’t see. I don’t need my staff thinking I’m going soft. “I’ll see what I can do.”
“I’m sure you will.”
“Don’t be a cocky little shit.”
“I’m not,” she exclaims. “I’m being realistic. You can’t get enough, Sullivan. Admit it.”
I shake my head when she laughs to herself.
“I’m about to go inside and meet the girls. This was just a call to say hi.”
I’m not sure anyone’s ever called me up just to say hi. And I’m not sure my cheeks have ever hurt this much from smiling. “Hi, Scarlet.”
She chuckles, and it does something to me way down in my gut. “I’ll see you later—”
“Hey,” I mutter, stopping her before she hangs up. “Let me know how your dad gets on today, okay? Let me know if you need anything.”
She goes quiet for a second, and I have to check if she’s already gone.
