“Hello,” Wes said as he walked out of his office and extended his hand to Becca. “You must be Becca. I’m Wes Carter, Anna’s boss.”

She placed her hand in his and looked him over from head to toe.

“Well, hello, Mr. Carter. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” She grinned.

“I think the two of you will be more comfortable in the conference room. Follow me.”

“Oh my God,” she mouthed as she gripped my arm. “Tell me you’ve slept with him?”

A smile crossed my lips as I nodded my head. We entered the conference room, and the three of us took a seat.

“I told Wes he could join us. He knows about Matthew and my father.”

“Oh. Okay.”

“So what’s going on?” I asked.

“Do you remember signing off on some invoices from MJB Supplies?”

“Yeah. They’re a new vendor that Matthew found about a year ago. I signed the first few, and then he asked if I could just give him the authority to sign off on them because I was so busy doing other things. Why?”

“He’s been signing off on other invoices lately. New vendors, distributors, and a PR Firm.”

“Did you or Frank confront him?”

“I did, and he told me that the company is changing with the times and upping its strategy. He said he and your father had a meeting about it, and your father was on board. He also said that he and your father talked about reorganizing the company, and certain positions would be cut out. And if I were to question his authority again, he would make sure my position was eliminated.”

“Did you tell my father that he pretty much threatened you?”

“No. You, of all people, know how much that asshole means to your father. Frank and I wanted to come to you first, especially since we overheard that he wanted to buy back yourshares and give them to Matthew. Anna, something shady is going on.”

“It sounds to me like Matthew might be embezzling money from the company,” Wes said.

“That’s what I was thinking, too.” I glanced over at Wes. “But it’s really not my problem, Becca. My father fired me.”

“I know, and trust me, everyone is highly upset over that. But you are still a part of that company; if anyone can do something, it’s you. You know we can’t go to your father with this. Not without proof. We’ll all lose our jobs.”

“Okay. I’ll need to see the invoices that he’s signing off on.”

“Frank said you’d want them.”

She reached into her bag, pulled out a file folder, and slid it to me.

“Thank you for meeting with me, Anna. I need to head back to the airport. I have a flight I have to catch to Maine.”

“I’ll have my driver drive you,” Wes spoke.

“Why thank you, Mr. Carter. Oh, Anna, by the way, have you seen YouTube?”

“No. Why?” I narrowed my eyes.

“I’ll send you the link.” She gave me a hug.

Wes and I stepped into his office after walking her down the hallway and saying goodbye.

“I think you’re going to need someone’s help with those invoices,” Wes spoke.

“I know just the person who can help me.” I smiled.
