“Until we figure out who is after you, and why, you shouldn’t be alone,” he said. “And I don’t entirely trust your father to protect you. I agree that he doesn’t have any motive to try to kill you, but there’s something I don’t trust about him.” “Something?” Olivia said. “There is literally not one thing that I trust about that man.” “Agreed. Also, I’m going to leave Barnum standing guard in your office, and if you go anywhere during the day, he should accompany you.” Olivia snorted at that. “Is that for my protection, or is it a cheap excuse to get him out of your hair?” “Can’t it be both?” Calder favored her with a winning smile. “I’m sending him with his own lunch and everything. If…I mean when he hits on anyone, please have them slap him. Hard.” Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, she barely noticed Barnum sitting there reading magazines and playing games on his phone and hitting on everybody female who walked by, because the entire morning was a blur of meetings and phone calls.
