Alex took the paper and set it on the desk without glancing at it and crossed his arms over his chest. “I’ll take care of it.”
My remaining fist unfurled slowly. “Thanks, Alex.”
He laughed and shook his head. “For such a damn fine operative, you are surprisingly easy to read, Weston.”
I glared at him. “Bullshit.”
“You switched to calling me Justice every time you got angry.” He laughed again, and I just rolled my eyes. The relief sweeping through me was consuming my whole focus.
“Kat was going to send the documents and your ticket to your house. Since you were already meeting with me, I left her a message not to worry about it. In case she didn’t get it and sent everything, disregard them, the transfer application too, since it was apparently bogus. But, make sure you shred all of it. You’ll report to Max Brentwood, starting Monday.”
“Great. Thanks, Alex. I—” My house? “She sent everything to my house?” Panic started to set in, and my voice was slowly escalating into a roar. “Fuck!” The folder would be marked confidential, but I’d promised no secrets. I had no doubt Aspen would open the package and it would go off like a nuclear bomb.
I grabbed up the papers from the floor and threw them on the desk before snatching up my coat and helmet. “I’ve got to go. Call me if you hear form Martin before I do.”
Alex waved me off as his phone began ringing and he answered. I sprinted down the hall and out through security, headed straight for my bike. I dialed Jenna’s number and cursed when it went to voicemail.
“I need you to get to my house and take Carter home for a while, Jenna. It’s a fucking emergency.” I ended the call and put the phone in the pocket of my leather jacket. After donning my gear, I took off like a bat out of hell. I needed to beat those papers home.
Coming to a screeching halt in my driveway, I parked my bike and breathed a huge sigh of relief to see Jenna’s BMW down the other side of the circle drive. I dashed up to the door and she was just stepping out, Carter in a carrier and a diaper bag over her shoulder.
She looked wary as I approached. “What the hell did you do, Weston?” she hissed. “Your fiancée looks like she’s ready to break.”
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
“I—don’t worry about it. Thank you for taking care of Carter. I’ll call you later.” I lifted the carrier from her and kissed my boy’s forehead as I walked them to her car. She’d picked up a car seat to have whenever she took Carter, so I snapped and buckled him into place, kissing him one more time before shutting the door.
“I hope you fix it, big brother,” Jenna warned. “Because I’m keeping them.” Then she disappeared inside her car and drove off.
Obviously, the papers had arrived, so I didn’t rush to the door. In fact, the badass motherfucker who normally controlled my brain went running for the hills. The coward was left behind.
Fuck that, I thought, shoving the weak pussy out of the way and marching into the house. There was no fucking way anything would come between me and my family.
