I shake my head as he turns the screen.
“These documents were filed with the county.”
The scanned documents are right there in front of my eyes, and sure enough, that’s my signature and the date I was at Will’s office.
“It’s obvious he tricked you,” Max says with an annoyed sigh. “Before you freak out, I’ll take care of this as well.”
My hands are shaking in my lap.
“What am I going to do?”
Max gives me a soft smile. “I’m going to fix it. The property will be back in your name by the end of the day.”
This should make me happy, but it still leaves me needing to sell the property. If I would’ve just left it in Will’s fucking name, my grandfather would be in the clear, but I promised Naomi that money was hers, and Lord knows the woman needs all the help she can get.
“And the sale?” I ask.
“Shouldn’t take more than a couple of days,” Max says, his eyes still on his computer screen.
“That easy?”
“That easy,” he confirms, lifting his head to the conference room doors when a knock echoes through the room.
I try to hide my mild disappointment when Faith instead of Spade sticks her head inside.
“I thought I saw your car outside,” my friend says with a smile.
“Why don’t you two have a visit? I’ll finish taking care of this,” Max offers.
“I’ll get you the bank information for my aunt,” I tell him.
“Already have it,” he says, not looking the slight amount guilty for accessing information he doesn’t have permission to.
I stand, refusing to jump on his case for helping me out.
“Thank you for everything,” I tell him.
I leave the room, leaning in closer when Faith wraps her arm around my shoulder.
“Are you okay?” Her voice is low as if she doesn’t want to alert anyone else around because she’s unsure of what my answer will be.
“As good as I can expect, I guess.”
She guides me to one of the sofas in the living room, and I feel another wave of disappointment when I don’t see Spade standing anywhere around.
“He’s out in the garage with Ethan,” Faith says as if she can read my mind.
“Are you off today?”
She shakes her head. “Unless I have afternoon court, I’m only working half days.”
She doesn’t seem exactly pleased about this.
“What’s going on?”
Faith looks away, her jaw tight.
“Things are a little tense around here. There’s heightened security. Ethan doesn’t want me at the office without him, but there are a lot of things they’re needing to do around here.”
