The cabbie looked uncomfortable.“Oh, I don’t know.She seemed pretty upset.”
“Yes, I know.She’s my wife, and someone hurt her, and she couldn’t find me.”
The cab driver looked undecided, and Gideon was about ready to drag him out of the car and shake him.
“Listen, my name is Gideon Rothschild.I’m sure you’ve heard of me,” Gideon said.
The driver’s eyes widened.“Oh, my.Yes.I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you.I will take you to your wife.”
“I have a car here.Just tell me where she went.”
“I dropped her at the Plaza Hotel uptown.”
“Good.Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.Have a nice night.”
Gideon waved.“You, too.”
He didn’t waste another moment and called his driver.“Come get me by the gates.”
“I’m just down the street.I’ll be there in less than a minute.”
“Thank you, Stanley.”
He hadn’t put his phone in his pocket yet, and his driver was pulling up.He jumped out and opened the door for him.
Gideon settled back in the seat.
“Where would you like to go, sir?”Stanley asked.
Gideon glanced at his reflection in the mirror.“The Plaza Hotel.”
“Okay.We’ll be there shortly.”
Gideon tried to calm down because his wolf was fighting to get free, and now wasn’t the time or the place.
He looked out the window when the car pulled up outside the building, and an usher opened his door.
“Good evening, sir.”
“Hello.”Gideon turned to the driver.“Go home.I’ll be staying here tonight.”
“Very good, sir.Call if you want me to come back.”
“Thank you, Stanley.”
The usher opened the hotel door.“Have a good evening, sir.”
“You, too.”All he could think about was finding his mate.Her scent was strong here, so he knew he’d find her.
“Hello,” the lady at the counter said and smiled.
“Hello.I’m looking for my wife.She was wearing a red gown.”He could tell before the woman opened her mouth that she was going to lie to him.It would have pissed him off if he hadn’t known she was trying to protect Jessica.
“I don’t recall.What is her name?”
“Jessica Rothschild.”
