She scoffs. “As tempting as you think that might sound to me, I refuse to get involved with the likes of you.”
“‘The likes of me?’”
“Yeah. You’re…trouble.”
With a grin, he bends his head. Their faces are so close, their lips nearly touch. “I could teach you to love trouble, you know?”
“Oh, I will not be needing any kind of service from you, Mr. Hall. Never going to happen.”
“Never say never. I’ll make you eat those words.” He winks before climbing into his SUV and exiting the parking structure.
And that’s my cue to stop listening.
“Goddamn it, he’s so infuriating,” Mia mutters to herself…and I can’t help but overhear.
I need to get out of here before she sees me. Now that I know Jonathan’s sister is on the prowl for information, she’ll try to track me down before long. The less she knows, the better.
Trying to dash away on my tiptoes so she can’t hear my kitten heels clicking on the concrete, I head to my car at the end of the row and fish for my keys. But I’m not fast enough.
“Ms. Young, got a minute?” Mia asks.
I whip around to face the woman. Her smile is friendly, but I already know she has an agenda.
What the hell am I going to say?
“Ms. Knight. What a surprise.”
“Heading home?”
“Um…yes. I’ve got an appointment—”
“Then I’ll get to the point. How’s my brother been today? He must have been really busy to cancel most of his day?”
Yep, she’s fishing.
“Mr. Knight is always busy.”
“Or is he seeing someone romantically?”
“I really don’t know. His personal life is none of my business.”
“It’s okay for you to tell me, you know.” She leans in and whispers, “It will be our secret.”
My heart starts pounding. “Tell you what?”
“The truth.”
“Ms. Knight, if you think your brother is seeing someone and want to know more about it, I suggest you ask him. I really don’t know what he does outside of the office.”
“Cut the act. Are you fucking my brother?”
Wow, she just went for my jugular—hard. “Excuse me?”
“It’s a simple question. Yes or no will do.”
“This is hardly appropriate.”
“Neither is sleeping with the boss.”
