“No, I don’t.” Roni simply couldn’t believe the girl was that devious. “Still, she’s the only one with access other than me and the cleaning service.”
“It has to be the cleaning service,” Jeannette inserted. “Melissa is way too…”
“Sweet and naïve?” Roni helpfully supplied.
“Exactly,” Jeanette and Lydia said in unison.
That had been her take on it, as well. “There’s only one way to find out for sure.”
“Click it,” Lydia mumbled.
Roni nodded. Moving the mouse until the cursor hovered over the video clip, Roni took a deep breath and hit the button. The video popped up immediately. Next, she hit play. Lydia and Jeanette both gasped when a man appeared on the screen. Man, hell, he was just a teenager! And she knew him, which made it even worse.
All three of them were riveted as the little jerk sat in Roni’s chair and started to mess with the things on her desk. At first it seemed he was riffling through her papers, which pissed her off even more, then he leaned back and smiled. His hands went to the fly of jeans.
“Oh my God!” Lydia shouted.
“I think I’m going to be sick,” Jeanette muttered and stepped back, her hand going to her stomach.
“I think I’m going to kick someone’s ass,” Roni growled as she clicked the little X and closed the video. “I know that little weasel.”
Lydia’s gaze shot wide. “You do?”
Roni stood and paced the room, her anger at the boiling point. “He’s the son of the guy who cleans these offices. I’ve seen him a few times, coming and going. Damn, he must have gotten his hands on his dad’s keys and made copies or something.”
“I wonder what else he’s doing.” Jeanette scrunched her brows and sat in one of the chairs across from her desk. “There are several offices in this building. He could be robbing them all blind.”
Roni stopped pacing and stared back at Jeanette. “Whatever he’s been doing, it stops today. I’ve got him on video.”
“You need to call the police.” Lydia pointed to the monitor and said, “Who knows how long he’s been at this.”
Roni nodded and grabbed the phone off her desk. “First I need to call Jake and let him know his plan worked.”
“Jake?”
“The computer guy who installed the webcam.” Roni dialed his number. Damn, she didn’t even have to look at the little sticky note she’d tucked into her purse. His number had been etched into her brain because she’d stared at it for so long the night before.
Lydia crossed her arms over her chest and grinned. “He’s Jake now? Since when?”
Oops. Roni hadn’t meant to tell them about Jake just yet. She wasn’t even sure what there was to tell. When Jake’s voicemail kicked on, Roni hung up the phone. He hadn’t answered. Should she read something into that?
Lydia passed a hand in front of her face and said, “Earth to Roni.”
“After Jake fixed my computer and set me up with the webcam, I took him to dinner as a thank you.” Okay, so she’d left out the part about letting him blindfold her, tie her hands and spank her ass.
Jeanette and Lydia looked at each other, then back at her. Jeanette tapped the top of the monitor with her finger and said, “A thank you, my butt. We know you better than that, Roni. Spill.”
Roni bit her lip as heat stole into her cheeks.
“Oh my God, she’s blushing!” Jeanette squealed. “I haven’t seen her do that since we were little!”
Lydia sat on the edge of the desk and winked. “Wow. This must be big.”
Roni sighed. They were like rabid animals. Okay, maybe not quite that bad, but damn, did they have to know her so well? “If you two must have all the dirty details.”
“We must,” Lydia said and Jeanette laughed.
Roni rolled her eyes. “Fine. I sort of…slept with him.”
