her.
“Later buddy. I promise.” He grinned bigger. “And when we do have her where we want her, we’ll make sure we can keep her there. I’m thinking we’ll keep her sated. That way she won’t have the strength to leave.”
He was still smiling when he entered the house. Reed knew he was only twenty five, but he was ready to settle down with his mate. More than he’d thought possible.
Chapter 4
Kerry knew it was too much to hope that the Bowens wouldn’t be in the office the next morning when she got there. Five people had told her that the new owners had come in the three very large limos that sat out in the front of the building. Marvin had told her last night after she’d gotten home that they’d bought the cable company. And that both Robbie and Russ had been terminated.
“He, that bigger man, said that he’d not have the type of problems that occurred with you again. He seemed to think you’ve had issues with Robbie before and asked me about them. I had to tell him love, I’m sorry.”
“Not to worry. It was bound to come out anyway.” She had already been told that the Bowens were interviewing everyone about the working conditions, and wanted to know what was needed to improve things. “A couple of people told me that they’d told them about Robbie and Russ anyway.”
“They were a pain in the ass to a great many people. I’m just hoping the new owners keep this up with weeding out the bad.” Marvin laughed. “Well, okay, not too many of the bad weeds. We do need people to answer the phone. Not to change the subject too quickly here, but how are you feeling from yesterday? Did you finally get something to eat?”
“Yeah, and a good night’s sleep too. Amazing what a few hours of exhausted sleep will do for a person.” She smiled at him. “And a thick hamburger with all the trimmings, large order of fries, and three glasses of water. Thanks for the loan until payday.”
He waved her off. “When you fainted I nearly joined you. I should have made sure you had plenty to drink before I put you in there with them. And that’s another thing. Mr. Bowen is making sure that everyone has a way to communicate with the offices. He said that we should have had that all along. I told him that you’d said so too on many occasions, even as a CSR. I started to explain to him that a CSR is a customer service representative, but he knew already. I like the man.”
She’d told him last night about being taken to his house, but left out the part where she’d been licked by one of his brothers. She was still trying to wrap her mind around that one. And then there was the small bite mark on her shoulder she’d found this morning after her shower, where she just knew that man had bitten her.
Kerry was just clocking in when she heard her name being called. She turned to look at another problem she had. This one woman was ten times worse than Robbie had ever been. She started to smile at her but thought Fuck it, I don’t answer to her any longer .
“They want you in the big office.” Kerry didn’t ask who but Agnes seemed to be on a mission to tell her. “There are six men and five women in there that look like they stepped out of some rich and famous magazine. I think they want to fire you. Be a blessing if they did. You’re a pain in the ass.”
“I doubt it. They would have told me yesterday when I was at their house if that was the plan.” She walked away from Agnes, smiling. That was fun. Childish, but extremely fun.
They were all there, and as she was walking in the elder Mr. and Mrs. Bowen were shown in as well. Marvin stepped forward and she could see the strain on his face. They had upset him, and she looked at Khan.
“You have no right to make this man feel upset like this for no reason whatsoever. He’s been running this company for nearly a year without much in the way of support from anyone. If you want to be pissy to someone, be that way to the previous owners, who took
