Uncovering You 8: Redemption Read Online Free PDF

not, I’ll continue fighting, through the other offers, past the deadline, until I can make it work. Or, until the company finds a different suitor.”
    ‘You’ll make it work,” I tell him. “I don’t know what it’s about. But I do know you. And you never fail.”
    My words spark a smile from Jeremy. “Thank you, Lilly,” he says. “That means a lot.”
    “So reading between the lines,” I chew my lip, “I’m to keep Fey and Robin occupied until you’re free? Is that right?”
    “Yes,” he says.
    “Will you and I have another chance to speak before then?” I ask. “Will we see each other before you’re free?”
    “I’ve taken a room at the Revere Hotel Boston Common. Don’t tell your friends this, but Stonehart Industries owns the franchise. I’m on the top floor. The three of you should get rooms there. I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to return to my suite before all this is over…” He looks at me. “…but if I do, you’ll be the first to know.”
    “Okay,” I say. “I’ll try to convince them to get rooms there.”
    Jeremy smiles. “It shouldn’t be hard,” he says. “It is the grandest hotel in Boston.”
    “What do you want me to say about this?” I ask, gesturing around the room. “Why was I taken away?”
    Jeremy shrugs. “Call it a randomized screening. They happen all the time in airports. Security is important, you know.”
    More than you can believe , I think.
    “Fine,” I say. “So…until I hear from you next?”
    “Until then.”
    I pick up my carry-on. “And Jeremy?” I ask, before leaving the room. “No more blocked phone calls. Okay?”

Chapter Four
     
    I return to Fey and Robin alone, without the entourage that whisked me away.
    Fey jumps up the moment she sees me. “Lilly!” she says. “You’re back! Where did they take you? What did they want?”
    “Nothing,” I say. “It was just a routine screening. They brought me to the back and searched my bags. When they didn’t find anything damning, they let me go.”
    “Sounds…suspicious,” Robin says. He stands up beside Fey. “Was Jeremy Stonehart involved?”
    “What? No!” I say, too quickly. Fey eyes me in that way of hers when she knows I’m not telling the truth. I blunder on. “Why would you even think that? I’d tell you if he were.”
    “Fine, fine.” He holds up his hands. “I’m not questioning you, Lilly. This is just another of those things that seems like too much of a coincidence to be simply swept aside. But since you’re back, I won’t take issue with it.”
    “How considerate of you,” I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm. Fey raises an eyebrow at me.
    I back off. “I’m sorry,” I say. “I’m just tired. It’s been a long day. Should we go find a hotel?”
    “I thought we were here to meet Jeremy?” Fey reminds me.
    “It’s too late for that. I texted him. He’s working. In fact, he’ll be working all weekend. So, until then…I’m all yours.”
    Fey looks suddenly hesitant, and slightly less sure of herself. “I do have class on Monday,” she admits.
    My frustration and anger with her suddenly boils over. “Hey, whose idea was it to come out here in the first place?” I demand. “Things aren’t always going to be smooth, Fey. I have work on Monday, too. But I’m missing it, all for your sake. So don’t give me that shit now.”
    Robin steps in. “Easy, now. She didn’t mean anything.”
    “I hope not,” I snap, “because it’s too late for doubts and second-guessing now. This is what you wanted, Fey. So this is what you get. There’s no backing out.”
    And with that, her spine snaps back into place. “I am not backing out,” she hisses at me. “I’m here for your benefit, Lilly. Don’t you forget that!”
    I teeter on the edge of laughing at her. But I’m conscious of the fact that I’m looking more and more like a bitch in her eyes, so I fight the temptation.
    Instead, I just shake my head. “I didn’t ask you to,” I
