“But youaregetting married?”
“Do you have more gowns or not?” she snapped.
“That’s the only one that’s complete. How soon are we talking?”
“Weeks.”
“Stop it,” Dai said flatly.
She tapped her fingers on the counter as she debated what to order for lunch.
“Please tell me you’re joking,” Dai said weakly.
“What?”
“You get your ass in here right now.”
She frowned. “But I—”
“Now!”
The line went dead. She stared at the phone for a moment and then sighed. All she wanted to do was write, but now she had to get fitted for a fake wedding dress for fake wedding pictures. Ugh.
She dialed Johan who picked up on the first ring. “I need to get to Black Jade on Madi—”
“I’m on my way up,” he said.
“I can meet you in the lobby.”
“I’ll be up in a minute,” he insisted.
She slipped on black jeans and a top and added Dai’s cherry-colored vinyl trench coat, which made her feel like a badass. When she walked into the living area, Johan was standing in front of the elevator.
“I could have met you downstairs,” she said.
“No need, Ms. Hennessy,” he said as he typed on the keypad.
“Roth didn’t give me the code. What is it?”
The elevator doors opened, and he gestured her inside. “Mo’s bringing the car around, ma’am.”
She stepped in and narrowed her eyes at him. “The code, Johan.”
He stared straight ahead. “What’s the address we’re taking you to?”
When she invaded his space, he stiffened. “You’re seriously not going to tell me the code?”
He eased away from her and kept his face turned away. “Ms. Hennessy, I think this is something you need to speak to Mr. Roth about.”
Oh, she would. He hadn’t given her the code so she couldn’t leave. What an ass. What did he think she was going to do? As the elevator opened into the lobby, she texted Roth.
Me:What’s the code for the elevator?
Johan opened the door to the Bentley, and she slipped into the back. She stared at the two guards in the front seat.
“You’re both assigned to me?” she asked.
“Yes, Ms. Hennessy,” Mo said.
