Whoever this prick was, he sure had balls as big as basketballs. To come to this office and slash my tires was extremely risky.
“Shh. It’s no big deal. You’re safe and that’s all that matters.”
Her shoulders shook as tears began to stream down her face. “I’m so sorry,” she repeated, sucking in a shaky breath.
“It’s only a car, princess.”
Her body could’ve had the note for me instead of it being left on Elvira.
“Let me help you fix it,” she whispered as she peered up at me.
“I’m sure Thomas has insurance for stuff like this.” I could see that there were dangers to this job that I hadn’t anticipated.
“I know a guy I can call.”
“You know a guy?” I asked her as my eyes narrowed. “Sounds ominous.”
“An old racing contact of my dad’s. Let me call him, please.” She batted her eyelashes.
Fuck.
There was no way I could refuse her.
“Okay. Let’s go inside, and you can call him while I speak with Thomas.”
She nodded and leaned into my side. “We’ll get your baby back in action.”
“I can get a rental until she’s all fixed up. Stop worrying.”
“Everything okay?” Angel asked as we walked back inside.
“Yeah, Angel. Everything will be okay.” I gave her a fake smile, my insides turning about what had transpired. I glanced down at Race. “Go in my office and use the phone while I speak with Thomas.”
She nodded and walked down the hallway. I watched, completely transfixed by the sway of her hips. Before she opened the door, she looked over her shoulder and caught me.
“See something you like, big boy?” Angel asked from my side.
My face flushed. “I wanted to make sure she went to the right door. I wouldn’t want her walking in on something she shouldn’t.” I arched an eyebrow and didn’t bother to hide my amusement as her nose scrunched.
She coughed, “Asshole.”
“Is Thomas alone?”
“As far as I know,” she said as she busied herself with the stack of paperwork at her desk.
I marched down the hallway, straight to Thomas’s office.
This time, I knocked.
“Come in.”
“Sorry to interrupt, but I needed to talk with you about a situation.”
“What’s the problem now?” Thomas asked, peering up from behind his desk.
I dragged my hands through my hair. “I went outside to find Race, and Elvira’s tires were slashed.”
“I’ll get James on the parking lot surveillance video right away.”
