Page 28 of Obeying Mr Kingsley
“Didn’t look like she was fawning over you, buddy.”Drew crunched down on his toast again.
My temperature rose before I could catch myself.
“No—”
“Why did you step in between her and Craig Templeton?I mean, I know he’s a playboy, but that’s what condoms are for.”Colt shrugged.
“Oh, nice.So, I should let a girl we care about leave with a guy who might give her gonorrhea?”I shook my head, leaning back in my seat.
“It’s none of our business who she sleeps with.”Drew challenged.“Unless...”
“Unless nothing.She is my employee.If she catches crabs, she’ll take time off.”
Zander snorted.
And on that note, if Terrance comes upstairs to the executive floor to fix one more fucking thing this week, I reallyamhaving him fired.
“Puzzle me this.Why did she come to the interview with Emily?Who brings a friend to a job interview?Don’t you think they might have manufactured this whole thing?”I leaned forward, pointing with my fork.
Did the two of them know about the software?The job had been advertised previously.
A bit of searching on the internet would have revealed that.
Why did Lexi suddenly quit her job in London?
I realize young people do wild things, and should, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to blindly trust her.
My dick was in charge initially.
Now I’m being wary.
Very wary.Some might call it paranoid.
My words offended her, and in some ways, they were designed to do that.I needed to make it clear that this is not going to be chapter two of the Princess fucking Diaries or whatever romantic billionaire dream these girls have.
“That’s the mother of my child you’re talking about,” Sebastian warned.
“Also, the same woman who came up with a terrible plan to help you with community protestors and the Sheikh.”
He concedes reluctantly with a wave of his fork.
“Don’t you think she might want her friend to stay in the US.”
“If she asked for my help, I’d make it happen.”
“But this is Emily and Lexi we are talking about,” I challenged.“All I’m saying is that after Jack and Sandy, we agreed to stay vigilant.
“Vigilant, not paranoid,” Zander said.
“Same, same.”I waved him off.
“Well, you can’t fire her because you slept with her,” Sebastian added.“Anyway, Lexi hasn’t said a word to Emily.”
I stiffened, then groaned.
“Christ, what did you say?”
“I just asked how Lexi was enjoying working with you.”Sebastian took a sip of his coffee.“Em said it was nice how everything had worked out.”
