“Don’t want to search for jewelry?” Grant asked as he joined her.
She smiled at him, wiggling her ring finger. “Nah. I already have the perfect ring.”
He grabbed her hand and kissed it. “I’m glad you like it.”
“I love it. And I’m curious what is in the filing cabinets.” She pulled one open, finding a set of folders hanging inside.
“Maybe DG Industries stuff. We had a hard time tracking down any information on them. Maybe that’s because they’ve been down here the entire time.”
Julia pulled a folder from inside and opened it, her eyebrows furrowing. “Oh my.”
She stared down at the image of a prominent businessman, captured through a window, kissing a woman who was very obviously not his wife.
Grant squinted down at it. “Is that Richard Cunningham?”
“Looks like. And that’s not his wife, Eve.”
“No, it’s not.” Grant pulled another folder from the drawer, finding more risqué pictures, this time of a government official.
Julia snapped her gaze up to Grant. “This is the other way she was getting her money.”
“Blackmail. And it looks like she’s got pictures of a lot of people,” he said as he stared at the folders lined in the drawer.
“She’s unbelievable.” Julia snapped the folder closed and shoved it back inside before she pushed at the drawer.
“Wait,” he said, holding it open.
“What?”
He peeked into a few additional folders.
“Are you serious? Don’t look at those!”
“I’m just…checking.”
“Checking what?” she asked, crossing her arms.
“I…wanted to make sure there wasn’t any folders on me in here.”
She arched an eyebrow at him. “Really?” She lifted her chin and peered at the folders.
He shifted to block her view. “Don’t—you didn’t want to look.”
“Now, I want to know.”
“I don’t want you to know,” Grant shot back. “I just want to prepare myself in case these are made public.”
Grant shoved the drawer closed with a sigh.
“Well?” she asked.
“Nothing.” He smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck.
“What if there would have been something?”
He flicked his gaze to her. “I would have burned them.”
She took his hands in hers. “You know, I love you no matter what, right?”
