    Thirty-five hours after the hotel incident…
    Cali
    Kimmie and I march down the hall as fast as we can in our heels, to get to the meeting room at FLI. I am operating on no sleep. When I stepped into the suite Kimmie was waiting for me. She had spoken to Ettie and apparently Nick and Luke has been looking for both of us.
    Ettie filled Kimmie in on as much as she knew. Kimmie took it upon herself to do some digging and found out that the deal in Seattle fell apart. My team worked so hard on the deliverables for that deal. There was no reason it should have fallen apart.
    I once said the Kimmie is a genius at spotting a pin in a hay stack. I hacked into A&T, the company the deal was supposed to be with, and Kimmie and I went to work looking for something out of place. There had to be something. This deal was a sure bet. Nick should have just been signing paperwork. A&T had already agreed on the increase Nick was looking for after the designs and structured systems my team provided.
    Kimmie found the one string we needed to pull to unravel it all. Someone was communicating with someone at FLI outside of the team handling the deal. We found a string of deleted emails, but the thing is all of them are back and forth to dummy accounts.
    They covered their tracks well, but Kimmie and I are better. We will find them. We just found something that drew a red flag that made us rush to clean up and get to the office. I was so grateful to Ryan and Braxton for thinking of asking Nellie and Heather to bring Kimmie and me a change of clothes for today.
    I like Heather and Nellie’s taste. The grey sheath dress fit my curves perfectly and has a deep v back. The red heels are a little higher than I have worn before, but Kimmie has helped me to keep from falling on my face.
    Kimmie helped me tame my hair into a tight bun on top of my head and she applied my makeup flawlessly. I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to look drop dead gorgeous when I see Nick. I still don’t know what really happened in that hotel, but I know that this is my dream job and I plan on keeping it. If I can show Nick what he is missing out on at the same time, then I will take that as well.
    I have been texting my assistant Regina all morning as Kimmie and I rushed our way here. Regina has sent a few texts to say that Nick has been ripping into everyone. Even if Nick did hurt me in the most unimaginable way, I know he has worked so hard to build his company. I won’t stand by and watch someone take that away from him.
    “What did you say,” I hear Nick growl from the other side of the meeting room door. “Regina, where the fuck is Sephora,” are the next words I hear roared.
    I take a deep breath and look at Kimmie, nodding my head to myself, I turn and push into the meeting room. All the air seems to leave the room. Nick’s hard glare lands on me and I watch as his jaw ticks. I have never seen him look so pissed.
    God, it is so wrong how sexy this man is. I can already feel my body reacting to him and his heated glare. Just being in his presence heats my blood and turns all my brain functions to mush.
    His dark grey suit fits him perfectly and the white shirt sets off his skin, while the light green tie around his neck intensifies his jade eyes. His golden brown hair is a disheveled mess that would look unfitting on someone else but is absolutely flawless on him. It looks like he has spent the morning running his hands through his hair.
    The room is silent around us as we are locked in a stare down. I want to look away, but I came here for a purpose and I intend to see it through. I will not cower in front of my coworkers.
    Something inside me just clicks into place and I stand straighter and steel my resolve. I turn to Kimmie to reach for her laptop. I hear the growl that leaves Nick and I turn back to see his eyes roam over my body greedily. I shiver and blink. His glare is like a hand caressing every inch of my
