I looked away first and got into the truck.

Marcus climbed in beside me a second later and pulled off into traffic.

A few moments passed quietly before he finally spoke.

“That’s him?”

I looked over. “Who?”

“The dude you work for.”

I glanced back briefly through the window. Vaughn was still standing outside, now lighting a blunt.

“Yeah.”

Marcus looked ahead again, one hand resting on the wheel casually.

“Hm.”

“What hm?” I frowned slightly.

He shrugged. “Because he a bad businessman.”

That caught me off guard immediately.

“Why would you say that?”

“My brother tried doing business with him recently.”

I turned toward him more. “Your brother?”

“Yeah. Randy Jewel.”

I blinked. “Who?”

Marcus looked surprised for a second. “You never heard of Randy Jewel?”

“No.”

He laughed softly. “That’s probably a good thing.”

“Why?”

“My brother is into commercial real estate. Big money stuff. He tried partnering with Vaughn on something recently.”

“And?”

“Vaughn turned the deal down.”

I frowned slightly. “Okay…”

“Over ego,” Marcus added.

That made me look at him again. “How do you know?”

“Because my brother told me.” He shrugged. “Said Vaughn, smart as hell, but emotional.”

That word sat with me immediately after the type of day I just had.
