Claire was sitting at her desk at the law firm bright and early, going through some pressing case files as she nibbled at a cranberry muffin and sipped at a spinach smoothie. Then she decided to check her work related emails for the day and was irritated to find one by that damn wimp Ethan Stone.
An email with his official resignation from the firm effective immediately and requesting his ten million dollar payment be transferred to him by week's end.
" Betraying bastard ," she shot out as she narrowed her eyes at the computer screen. He would get his blood money but not the full amount. He would get two million. If he wanted more he could just sue her but he didn't have the balls for that. She had more balls than him. Little bitch.
Then her cell phone rang and she answered it.
" Claire ," her simpering cousin Elizabeth whispered on the phone," please get over here now. The police are here about Kyle. They want to talk to him and search the house. The General has them on the porch waiting. You know how he is. "
Claire said firmly," Good. Don't let them in. Not that they will enter. This is Evergreen Acres for God's sake. I'm coming. Before I get there tell Kyle to get rid of anything incriminating in his room. Now. "
She hung up, grabbed her designer purse and headed for the office of Jeremiah Duncan who was at his own desk looking at his computer.
" Duncan, get your stuff and come with me. Drop everything. This is important. "
Jeremiah lifted his handsome confident head from his computer screen and smiled at her. "Of course, ma'am. I live to please," he lied smoothly.
