I let out a sigh, stopped, and turned around as he, Simon, and Gabriel stood there staring at me.
“How did you know?” I asked.
“Jackson called me,” he said.
“Hey, Kate.” Simon smiled.
“Hello, detective.” I smiled back.
“You’re no fun, Grayson. I almost had her.”
“You can’t go around beating people up,” he said.
Simon chuckled. “I used to say that to Grace all the time.”
“She threatened us, and I don’t take kindly to threats.”
“You let us handle her,” Grayson spoke. “Bring Ava back.”
“You have a lot of explaining to do to her,” I said.
“I know, and I’ll tell her everything.”
“Whatever.” I closed my eyes.
CHAPTER35
Ava
I opened my eyes and found myself standing in the middle of the parking garage with Grayson, Simon, and Gabriel staring at me.
“What happened? Don’t tell me.” I put my hand up. “I already know. It was Kate, wasn’t it?”
“Yeah. I stopped her. Come here.” Grayson wrapped his arms around me. “The woman who approached you in the bathroom was Claudia.”
“As in your psycho stalker from Boston?” I broke our embrace and glared at him.
“Yes. I’ll call for the car, and we’ll go home. I’ll tell you everything.”
“How long have you known she was here?” I asked.
“A couple of weeks.”
“What the fuck, Grayson!” I snapped. “You’ve known for two weeks and didn’t tell me? I’m staying and enjoying the rest of the evening with the girls.” I walked away.
“What about with me?”
“Right now, I don’t want to be anywhere near you.” I stopped and turned around. “You had no right to stop Kate.” I pointed my finger at him. “That bitch had it coming after what she said to me in the bathroom. Just stay away from me.” I shook my head.
I took the elevator back up to the venue and grabbed a glass of champagne as the server walked by.
“Are you okay?” Charlotte ran over to me.
“I’m fine.” I downed my drink. “I can’t believe he didn’t tell me she was here in Los Angeles.”
“Well, in his defense, he was just trying to protect you.”
“I hate secrets, and the fact that he kept that from me makes me not want to trust him anymore.”
