hoping you could join us for lunch. Diana had to back out to take her grandmother to a doctor’s appointment.
    Solomon sighed with regret. “I wish I could but Marcel and I have a one o’clock conference call with Dawson Smith at Warner.”
    “Oh. Well, okay. I guess it’s just you and me, Imani.” She reached for her daughter, but she turned away to stay in her father’s arms.
    “I’m sorry, honey, but we have to get to the bottom of this and see what our options are.”
    Ophelia clamped her mouth shut.
    “Rain check?” he asked.
    “Of course. Your credit is always good with me.” She kissed him soundly on the lips. “I hope this doesn’t mean you’ll be working late,” she whispered. “I have a little sumpthin’ sumpthin’ planned tonight.”
    “Oh?” Solomon’s brows lifted. “Do I get a hint what this surprise entails?”
    Ophelia slyly pecked his lower lip. “Well, it might involve cherries, whip cream and...” She nibbled on the side of his lips “...a blindfold.”
    A wide smile slid across Solomon’s face as he covered one of Imani’s ears. “We shouldn’t talk of such things in front of the b-a-b-y .”
    “Mum’s the word.” She winked. “I’ll see you at home.” She finally extracted her daughter from her cocoon and had to soothe her instant tears. However, during her exit out of T&B Entertainment, her mind wandered back to Jonas.
    “Hold on, honey,” she told to her daughter as she strapped her into the car seat. “We have one more stop before we head out to lunch.”

    “What?” Jonas jumped to his feet, forgetting about his monster hard-on. “Who’s suing me?”
    Toni’s gaze lowered to his impressive tented pants, and then climbed back up in time to see the blood drain from Jonas’s face. “You like me. You really, really like me.”
    Jonas lowered himself back into his chair, shifting the power ball back into her court. “Who is suing me?”
    “Actually the suit is against the owners of T&B Entertainment. Imagine my surprise when I saw your name listed on the suit as part owner.” She cocked her head. “I guess you couldn’t let sleeping dogs lie?”
    Fascination shifted to irritation and Jonas’s eyes narrowed. “It’s strictly business.”
    She smiled and called him on the lie. “No it’s not.”
    “Then how about it’s none of your business?” he asked instead.
    “Ah, just like a man. You reel me in and then you shut me out.” She tossed up her hands. “ C’est la vie. But you’re still being sued.”
    “And I’m still waiting to find out by whom.”
    “An ex-employee of T&B Entertainment, Nora Gibson. She filed a wrongful-termination suit.”
    Jonas rolled the name around his head. “I know her,” he said, thinking. “I met her at Marcel and Diana’s wedding. She sort of puts me in mind of a piranha.”
    “I’d prefer if you would reframe from calling my client names.”
    Rolling his eyes, Jonas reached for the papers Toni had flung on his desk. “What? She filed this suit in L.A.?”
    “No.”
    He lifted a brow as he casually flipped through the pages. “Then how did she hire you?”
    “Not that it’s any of your business but I live in Atlanta now.”
    “Kaplan, Grey & Kaplan must be disappointed.”
    “But I’m ecstatic, and that’s all that matters.” She took a seat in one the chairs in front of his desk and slowly crossed her legs.
    Jonas watched her long limbs like a starved man before a Thanksgiving feast while a thousand questions raced through his mind. Were her legs as soft as they looked? What would they look like wrapped around his waist? His shoulders?
    Toni’s light laughter snapped him out his daydream and for the second time, he blushed.
    “One million to make the suit go away,” she said.
    It was Jonas’s turn to laugh and he did so with a hearty gusto. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
    “I don’t kid about such things,” she informed him with a leveled stare. “Believe me,
