“You think so? She’s always tossing her keys and jacket wherever she finds an empty spot.”
Morgan laughed out loud. “And then tears the place apart trying to find them.”
“Exactly. Her birthday is coming up, and I wanted to make her something special.”
“I almost forgot. Yes, it’s right around the corner.” Morgan straightened her back. “Ronni has no idea you’ve been working on this?”
“Nope. I’ve been busting my butt trying to get it done in time.”
“How sweet. She’s going to love it.”
“I hope so.”
Morgan impulsively hugged him. “You’re the best, Jax Robinson.”
The two made small talk until an estate employee showed up to ask a question, and Morgan headed out. She climbed back in her vehicle and dialed Ronni’s cell phone.
“Well?” Ronni asked as soon as she answered.
“You have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to worry about,” Morgan reported.
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
A clicking sound on the other end of the line ensued. “He seems so distracted,” Ronni finally said.
“He is,” Morgan agreed.
“Do you have any idea why?”
“I do.”
“Does it have anything to do with me?”
“Maybe.”
“You’re talking in circles,” Ronni groaned.
“I am and I’m sorry. I wish I could say more, but I can’t.”
“You’re positive he’s not intentionally avoiding me.”
“Absolutely, one thousand percent.”
“Okay. I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. Thanks, Morgan.”
“I’m happy I could help ease your mind.” She told her goodbye and turned her SUV toward home. Ronni and Jax might be on the right track, but her nagging concern over Hailey Varnum lingered.
Greg had come a long way in the past year—finally finding a job he flourished in, not to mention a home of his own. He was more than an employee. He was part of her extended family.
She needed to get more information about what had happened that day at the hotel. Morgan knew of one person who might be able to shed a little more light on the woman’s background. The only question was…would he be willing to talk?
Chapter 25
“You know I can’t disclose an ongoing investigation.” Wyatt placed a light kiss on Morgan’s lips.
“I figured as much,” she grimaced. “I’m worried about Greg’s involvement with Hailey and not knowing who she is or about her past.”
