Page 76 of Seduced By a Billionaire

Kyle raked his hands through his hair and cursed under his breath for lashing out at Lindsey. That was a signal it was time to quit practice for the day. Glancing at his Rolex, he paged Rich and requested a pot of coffee, a plate of cold-cuts, cheese and crackers to be brought to his office promptly.

As he waited for Lindsey to show up, he quickly glanced over the contract Faye had forwarded to him. Everything appeared to be aboveboard. He didn’t spot any red flags. He had advised Faye to offer full asking price since it was currently a sellers’ market. Her realtor had suggested the same.

Lindsey poked her head in the door, “Are you ready for me?”

“Yes, come in.”

“I’m sorry for interrupting you earlier.”

“It’s fine. You caught me at the height of my frustration.”

“Sorry. It sounded beautiful.”

“Hardly, but thanks.”

“Is everything okay? I hope you’re happy with my job performance so far.”

“Yes, Finn really likes you. I called this meeting because I clearly instructed you to get security clearance for any guests you invited onto the premises. I checked with Richard and my security company and there have been none issued from you.”

“No, sir.”

“And yet, you had someone here on Friday picking you up. I saw him in the foyer.”

Lindsey fidgeted in her chair, “Yes, but that was just my boyfriend.”

Kyle scowled, “And?”

Her eyes widened in surprise, “And what? You wanted me to get clearance for my boyfriend?”

“Wouldn’t you consider him a guest?”

She shrugged, “Not really, he’s my boyfriend.”

“I accept that you made a mistake, but from now on anyone, and I mean anyone, even your mother, is required to be cleared through my security team, are we clear on that?”

She looked down at the ground, her cheeks bright red, “Yes, Mr. Bennett.”

“Now if you’d submit your boyfriend’s name and address to Mr. Drake, he will get the information to security for clearance. Problem solved.”

Mr. Drake appeared with the food tray and pot of coffee and set them down on a side table. “Thanks Rich.”

“You’re most welcome. Would you like me to pour your coffee, sir?”

“No thanks.”

Richard nodded to Lindsey and backed out of the room.

“Are you hungry? Help yourself,” Kyle offered.

“Okay.”

“Coffee?”

“No thanks.”

Kyle poured himself a mug full, added cream, then loaded up a small plate for himself and sat back down. Lindsey filled a plate too.

Stirring his coffee, he said, “Since we’re already here how are things going for you? Do you have any questions or concerns? Any observations about my son you’d care to share?”
