“You okay, Alison?” I follow the sound and see a dark head of hair appear above me.
“Lucky?”
Meghan leans closer. “I called security, then ran up and got Graham, er, Mr. Morgan.”
“Sam!” Graham’s voice is booming. “What the fuck?”
“Graham.” Sam’s voice has suddenly gotten jovial. Yeah, that’s what I said. Jovial. “Long time, no see.”
Graham’s not falling for it. “You strike her?”
“No.” Sam sneers. “Of course not. She was in my office.”
“You’re on paid leave. You aren’t supposed to be here.”
“I work here.”
“Not anymore,” Meghan says quietly, only for my ears.
“In my office. Now.” He looks at Lucky and another hunky security guy. “Lucky and Cam, you too.”
I guess the guy’s name is Cam.
I’m still awkwardly trapped in the chair. I just need for these guys to go so I can figure out a way up and out.
“Now, Sam,” Graham practically shouts.
“Fine.”
I watch him leave, but he gives me one last angry glare.
“Cam, go. I’ll be right behind you.”
“Sure, Lucky.”
As soon as Brendan and the other three leave, Lucky steps around the desk and holds his hand out to me. “Babe, hang on to the chair so it doesn’t roll out from under her.”
Meghan grumbles. I hear her muttering the word “babe,” but she does as he asks. In no time, the chair is up and I’m sitting upright. Not going to lie, I’m a bit dizzy. But at least I’m off the ground and I don’t have any teeth missing, nor do I have a black eye.
“That was scary,” I say. “I thought he was going to punch my lights out.”
“I wouldn’t put it past him,” Lucky mutters.
“He’s kind of a mess these days,” adds Meghan.
Pushing out of the chair, I give myself a second. “Thanks, Lucky.” I turn to Meghan and pull her into a hug. “Thanks, Meg.”
“I’m sorry it took so long. Mr. Morgan wasn’t picking up, so I ran up there.”
“I’m glad you did.”
“He smelled like booze,” she adds. “Sam, not Mr. Morgan.”
I knew who she meant. “That reminds me.” Going over to the closet, I open the door and see the box Hal mentioned. “Lucky, will you take this box up to Graham’s office?”
“Is this Sam’s?” He looks shocked.
“The cleaning crew found them in here today. I think Sam may need help, and hopefully Graham will see to that.”
