Steele’sCEOhad given me five grand.
He’dsleptwith me.
Steele’s CEO was interested inme!
A strange breath wheezed out of me.
No, I was wrong.I had to be wrong.
Another piece fell into place, and I picked up my phone to call Miranda.
“Who did you contact last Friday?”I asked.
“Why?Did something happen with the she-bitch?I’m on my way.”
I heard her moving.
“No, Miranda, I need you to tell me who your contact is here.”
The beat of hesitation spoke volumes.
“The CEO.”
I closed my eyes against the stab of doom that pierced me, killing the panic with the resolute knowledge of what I’d done.
“You mean Konni, right?”
“Yeah.Am I in trouble?”
I thought about it for a second before answering.
“No.”
But I was.I’d slept with the fucking CEO that everyone in my department had accused me of targeting.What the hell was I supposed to do with that?
Ignore it.Obviously.All of it.Any more bullshit on my plate and it would break.
“Are you okay?”she asked in all seriousness.
“Yeah.We’ll talk more at lunch.”
“Okay.Call or text if you need anything.”
“I will.”
I put away my purse and went for coffee.When I returned, Whitney was at her desk.If my greeting fell flat, hopefully she attributed it to what happened on Friday morning.
Meanwhile, my mind lingered on what happened that night.With Konni.The fucking CEO.
Thankfully, Lianna didn’t say anything to me all morning, and Whitney gave me enough work to keep busy.As soon as it was time, I saved everything off, grabbed my purse, and fled for lunch.
My head kept replaying all my flirtatious interactions with Konni at Lunar Pulse, distracting me from my path on the sidewalk.So when someone stepped in front of me, I quickly apologized and moved around them without seeing who it was.
A hand gripped my upper arm firmly.
“Sophia, stop ignoring me.”
My gaze flew to my father’s angry face, then to his hand.
