She paced her office trying to gather her wits. The whole sordid affair had ended badly and she was not going to let James go that easily. He was hers. Why had it disintegrated to this? Couldn't they simply let bygones be bygones?

"Miss York, call for you on line four. He says his name is James."

Arianrhod looked up at her assistant and nodded her head in acknowledgement.

Leaning over her desk she picked up the phone.

"Yes?"

"Look, I'm sorry. I was drinking and then... well you were there. You saw what happened."

She sucked in air through clenched teeth.

"James, she is a bit of an airhead but she isn't stupid. You nearly exposed us! I can't babysit you!"

He hit his receiver off the wall and spat, "I'm not stupid either. Don't you ever forget that!"

With that, he hung up and left Arianrhod slightly bewildered and extremely angry.

She set the phone down and sat in her chair. Massaging her temples, she lent back, kicked off her shoes and extended her legs under the table. A new plan was needed.

"Sorry  to interrupt Miss York. Mr York requires your presence in his office."

With a sigh, she stood up slowly and braced herself, walking defiantly to face the demon lord.
