Marcus laughed softly. “I got her.”
I shook my head. “Please stop making it seem like I’m terrorizing people at work.”
“You are,” Laila said immediately.
Marcus opened the passenger door for me while I laughed.
Before getting in, I looked back toward the building one more time.
That was when I saw Vaughn outside near the entrance.
Just standing there.
Watching me.
Something about his expression threw me off for a second.
Not angry.
Not even irritated, really.
His face looked unreadable, but his eyes were darker than usual.
Almost empty.
I looked away first and got into the truck.
Marcus climbed in beside me a second later and pulled off into traffic.
A few moments passed quietly before he finally spoke.
“That’s him?”
I looked over. “Who?”
“The dude you work for.”
I glanced back briefly through the window. Vaughn was still standing outside, now lighting a blunt.
“Yeah.”
Marcus looked ahead again, one hand resting on the wheel casually.
“Hm.”
“What hm?” I frowned slightly.
He shrugged. “Because he a bad businessman.”
That caught me off guard immediately.
“Why would you say that?”
“My brother tried doing business with him recently.”
I turned toward him more. “Your brother?”
“Yeah. Randy Jewel.”
