He's pissed.
"Adam?" I venture cautiously.
“Tell me what happened, and don’t lie to me.”
“It’s not a big deal.”
“I’ll be the judge of that.”
Reluctantly, I tell him.
"I'll kill her," he snarls.
I quickly jump in his warpath. "Maybe not kill. That's a little overboard for a gum in the hair."
"She threw coffee on you. She admitted it––"
"Well, you still can't kill her," I say tightly. "So calm down before you do something you regret."
"I won't regret it, trust me."
"You––"
We're standing inches from each other when the door opens, and I look over my shoulder. An older man walks in with gray hair and sharp blue eyes.
I instantly recognize him.
Watson Tremblay.
He's one of the pack elders and an official. Watson is a powerful figure in the pack, and until now he has never supported any side. But the moment I lay eyes on him, I realize he is on Adam's side. That is going to be a hard blow to Jonathon if he ever finds out. For years, the alpha has been trying to court Watson to support him. The multimillionaire wolf shifter has connections in all the right places.
"So, it's true." Watson studies us. "You hired Miss Rose as your secretary."
For the first time, I see discomfort on Adam's face.
"Mr. Tremblay," I greet him politely. "It's nice to see you."
"Likewise." Watson nods. "Adam, I wanted to talk to you if you have some time."
"Of course."
As they head into his office, I see Watson casting another look at me.
I wet my lips.
He doesn't trust me.
It's quite obvious.

When Tony drops me home, I'm surprised to see someone waiting for me in the lobby of my building.
"Cynthia!" Maya beams at me. She's carrying three large boxes of pizza and two bottles of soda.
"I forgot you were coming." I find myself smiling, the troubles of the day fading at the sight of her. "Come on up!"
I let her into my apartment and as she enters, she gives me an odd look. "Weird hair day?"
