“She said, ‘Well, you’re anokayarchaeologist for being a prick.’ ”
“No!”
Anissa nodded proudly. “You know she did. Someone even caught it on video. Seriously, she waspissedwhen Larity insisted on Dr. Quinn being here. She said the only way she’d agree was if she got to pick the rest of the team.”
Miri smiled and pulled the curtain back in place to finish rinsing off. Damn, what it must be like to command such authority.
“So, what else do the texts say?” Miri asked, unable to stop grinning thinking about Corrie’s badassery.
“Hmm…well, looks like they were talking about Rafa.”
And instantly, Miri’s smile fell. “What about him?”
“Oh, you’re not going to like this…” Anissa said. “Quinn said he saw the two of you getting cozy over drinks.”
“What?!”
Miri hopped out of the shower and snagged a towel, not bothering to fully wrap it around her wet body before snatching the phone out of Anissa’s hands.
“Damn, girl,” Anissa said, smirking at Miri’s bum hanging out.
Miri waved her comment off, then haphazardly pulledthe towel the rest of the way around her body with her free hand while scrolling through Dr. Quinn’s texts with her other.
Quinn
This journalist from GloGeo seems like an arrogant prick. He looks familiar. Is he working for you?
V
No. What’s his name?
Quinn
Rafael Monfils.
V
The name sounds familiar. I’ll look into him.
A few minutes passed between texts.
V
Seems his father is Jean-Luc Monfils. He’s a GloGeo board member.
Quinn
That charity do-gooder?
V
Yes. I wouldn’t worry about him. Silver spoon baby.
Quinn
Explains the arrogance.
