“You can’t. He’s in a meeting. That’s his office, and the door is closed. I can’t even go in there now.”

Sara remembered Ethan saying something like that the first day she was in the house. “Could you tell him Sara would like to talk to him when he has a minute?”

“I will, but it won’t matter. He’s too busy for one of his girls right now.”

One of Sara’s brows lifted. She wasn’t going to let this bitch get the best of her or see any emotions she felt right then. “You’re okay with him having sex with other women?”

She almost smiled at the flush of embarrassment on the woman’s face.

“We have an open relationship,” Brenda said.

“I see. Well, I’ll see him later.”

“I wouldn’t expect that,” Brenda said. “He’ll be busy tonight, too.”

Sara knew what she was insinuating by the smile on her face. “When he comes to bed, I’ll see him.”

Brenda’s face paled, and Sara wondered about it.

“You live here?”

“Yes. I sleep in Ethan’s room. So, I think you’re probably lying about everything you just told me. I don’t know for sure, but I’ll ask him when he comes to bed. Thank you.” Sara turned and walked off.

When she glanced back, she caught the anxiety on the woman’s face. Was it from the fact she thought she’d lose him? Or get in trouble for lying?

Sara gasped when a large man came around the corner.

“Miss Sara. I’m Thomas. We met the first day you were here.”

Sara relaxed. “Yes. I remember.”

“I wondered what you needed help with?”

“Oh, I don’t need help. I just needed to talk to Ethan before I left.”

Thomas’s eyebrows rose. “Does he know you’re leaving?”

“Not yet. That’s what I’m going to tell him. Maybe you could give him a note for me?”

Thomas nodded, but he didn’t look happy about it.

“I’ll come up in a bit for the note,” Thomas said.

“Okay. Thank you.”

Sara watched him walk off and felt a moment of panic. Would he go to Ethan or just give him the note later? She’d pack her things and find out, although there was a chance Ethan would just nod his head in relief that she was going.

That thought stuck in her head because it seemed the most viable.

Ethan watched the men he had the meeting with leave and then got back to work. It didn’t last long before he was interrupted again. He sighed and looked up to see Thomas standing with a scowl on his face and his arms crossed.

“What’s up?” Ethan asked.

“I’m trying to figure out who has pissed me off the most.”

Ethan leaned back. “Close the door.”
