Chapter 12
- Chloe POV
- The messages from Cane are getting crazier and crazier as the day has gone. He must be drunk and thinking about how I am at his job, and he is home looking at the wall with nothing to do but drink. Jessie went into Axel's office about an hour ago. She made a point to glare into my office. I smiled and waved. I can play stupid very well. When I was at capital, it was common for me to eat lunch and sound absolutely surprised when someone was under investigation. All the time, I would be the one picking through their accounts while sharing a meal with the subject of my query. I can keep a secret.
- While Jessie is in Axel's office, Cane texted me so many times that I had to turn off my phone. When he figured out I was going to answer him, he started calling my office and emailing me. This stalking behavior has to stop. I look up and see it is almost eleven. Almost time for lunch with Axel, and I cannot wait. It will take my mind off of Cane.
