Chapter 13

• “Mr. Paterson?”
• Jadon lifted his gaze from the screen of his laptop and stared at his secretary, barely suppressing his irritation. He was certain he had told the woman he didn’t want to be disturbed for the next hour while he reviewed the documents for the new market contract the city council was eager to sign.
• Of course, that had only been part of the reason for his request to take no calls or see anyone. Jadon had been trying to avoid another call from his friends asking him if he had called the lady from the gym yet. Or worse, a call from Asher to talk about his girlfriend, who was apparently playing games for attention. Whatever that meant.
