Mila and Ethan moved aside so she could take the photos and then record a live video.People commented and liked it, saying they couldn’t wait to see the results.
It was all coming together.She hadn’t felt this excited about something since… well, she couldn’t remember being this excited ever.Not even when she got a new job.
“I’m just going to run to the bathroom,” she told Ethan when she was finished filming.
Ethan frowned and scanned the area.“I’ll come with you.”
“It’s not necessary.You can view the whole nursery from here.There’s only one entrance.”
“There’s another at the back,” Ethan said.
She hadn’t noticed.“Is it open?”
“No.”
“If you’re worried, I’ll go too.”Mila smiled.“You can start loading this lot and we’ll be home, surrounded by the team in no time.”
He scanned the area again.Chelsea kissed him.“I’ll be fine.I promise.Johann won’t kidnap me in broad daylight.”She glanced over his shoulder and frowned.“Is that Darren?”
Ethan spun around, putting himself between her and Mila.She peered around him as Darren walked towards them.What did he want?
Darren stopped a couple of metres away and eyed Ethan warily.“I’d like to speak to Chelsea.”
Chelsea shifted so she stood next to Ethan.“What do you want?”
“I can’t get the money for you.The bank won’t give me anything because I’m not working.”
Odd that he would come here.Had Noah and Rhys told him where they were going?It didn’t seem likely.“I’ll ask my mother what she wants to do about your breach of contract.”
“How did you know we were here?”Ethan demanded, his voice low and lethal.
Darren took a step back.“I, ah, followed you.”
“No, you didn’t,” Ethan said.“I watched for tails and no one was behind us.”
Darren’s face paled, and he looked around, as if searching for an answer.
Ethan stepped forward.“How did you know we were here?”Each word was slow and clear.
“Leyton told me.”
“Try again,” Ethan growled.“Leyton is in gaol.”
Darren swore.“It was Johann, all right.He said I needed to come and talk to you here.”
“Why?”Ethan’s gaze roamed the area.
“I don’t know.”
“Where is he?”
“I don’t know.”
Ethan stepped even closer, and Darren held up his hands in surrender.“Honestly, I don’t!He just called and said I had to come here and tell Chelsea I didn’t have the money.”
“And if you refused to come?”Ethan asked.
Darren pressed his lips together.
