Scandalous Wager: A Whitechapel Wagers Novella - Plot & Excerpts
He wanted to follow Lizzy yet knew it was impossible. He had work to do, a murderer to find, and keeping busy was far preferable to dwelling on the end of what had only just begun between him and his superior’s daughter. “We’re not finished here, Reed.” It was only Ainsworth’s gruff voice that recalled Ian to the official reprimand he had been receiving before Lizzy interrupted. He waited while Ainsworth resettled himself behind his desk. The man seemed drained after the confrontation with his daughter. “Yes, sir. As I said before Li...before Miss Ainsworth’s arrival, it won’t happen again. I should have sent word to you immediately.” “See that it doesn’t. Let us put the matter to rest there.” Before Lizzy burst in, Ainsworth had threatened official censure, even demotion. Now, after finding Ian in a locked room with his daughter, he was setting the whole thing aside? “You will take no official action?” “I’ve just told you I won’t, Inspector. Would you like me to reconsider?”
