“You did?”
“What? Didn’t he turn up? That bastard.”
“No, he did. But I, ahh, doesn’t matter. He left.”
“You what?” Reuben asked suspiciously.
“Fell asleep.” There was a knock at the front door. “Gotta go, they’re here.”
“I can’t believe he left you! I’ll kill him.”
“Did you tell him that you’d hired a security team and that they were on their way?” she asked suspiciously. Because she was surprised that Xavier would have left her if that was the case.
“Well, no.”
“Right, so you just ordered him to come over here instead of asking him or telling him any of the details.”
Buzz!
What was with this guy? Was he trying to make her headache worse?
“Maybe,” Reuben muttered. “Thought he would have stuck around for a bit longer.”
“I’ve got to go. I got this.”
She totally didn’t. But she figured it wouldn’t hurt to fake it.
“Love you, Mini.”
“Love you too, BBW.”
His sigh made her smile. Which faded as soon as she ended the call and faced the door.
Shit.
