my head as I watched her move around my bedroom angrily. I fought the urge to chuckle when she attempted three different times to place her leg in her jeans.
Just before she exited, she gave me the finger and slammed my bedroom door.
I lay there quietly, listening for the front door to slam as well, which it did. But not before something that sounded expensive crashed to the floor with a sound like glass shattering.
I really needed to stop fucking drinking—and allowing Beckett to drag me along on his excursions. Hell, the asshole could at least make sure what I brought home with me knew the score. It was the brotherly thing to do.
KINSLEY
I STOOD OUTSIDE MONTGOMERY ENTERPRISES , looking up at the building that appeared to go on and on. It was enormous, and breathtaking.
I’d been working for Stockman and Wright for only two weeks when Mrs. Stockman promoted me to her assistant. I was blown away because I’d figured I would be working as the errand girl in the law office for the rest of my life. Now as I stood on the sidewalk peering up at the extravagant building before me, I wondered if I was the right person to handle this job. I’d been warned about Mr. Montgomery prior to leaving the office. He was a twenty-nine-year-old millionaire who had reached heights most men only dream of and triumphed in all things he attempted. Yet he was an arrogant asshole who walked around as if everyone owed him something. And I was about to deliver paperwork that I was sure would only place me in his line of fire.
After taking one last, deep breath, I reached for the front door and walked inside.
If I thought the outside was impressive, the inside trumped that impression. It was the most beautiful office I had ever seen. A glass elevator was elegantly placed in the center of the sprawling space, which allowed you to see it rise and fall between the floors. Just before it was a large, mirrored reception area that projected welcoming vibes. The two women behind the desk looked up and smiled as I approached them.
“Welcome to Montgomery Enterprises,” the cute little blonde said as she tilted her head to the side. “What can we do for you?”
I had never in my life been more nervous than I was in that moment. “I’m,” I croaked. The heat rose in my neck as I tried to gain control of myself. “I’m Kiera Masterson, I work at Stockman and Wright Law Office, and I’m here to deliver papers to Mr. Montgomery.”
“We can take those for him,” the brunette to her left said in a not-so-friendly tone as she held out her hand.
The fear I’d felt only moments go slowly began to evaporate as I searched deep within myself and found my own inner bitch. “These papers must be delivered to none other than Mr. Montgomery himself, by me. So if you could just point me in the right direction, I’ll do so and then be on my way.”
Suddenly I felt proud of myself, and something told me Daddy Rig would be too. My new attitude and way of living was all part of my new image, one I was still struggling with, but as each day passed it became a little easier to pull off.
“He would be on the top floor. Lex, his assistant, will greet you,” the blonde said as the brunette remained at her side scowling.
“Thank you.” I offered a kind smile, showing I was unfazed by the catty behavior of the not so-friendly-receptionist, then turned toward the elevators.
“Good luck,” the brunette said, followed by an arrogant laugh. “You’ll need it.” She stated in dismissal, but I kept my head held high, appearing unaffected by her comment. But my heart was racing and my palms were sweating with each step I took.
Once inside, I pressed the button for the top floor, then stepped back and leaned against the elevator’s side, watching as the carriage ascended each floor, bringing me closer to the man that intimidated me even though I hadn’t met him.
I jumped at the soft ping announcing my arrival as if it was a bullhorn.
