Kate had barely slept the night before. She told herself that at least this way, she was ensuring that the workers wouldn’t be mistreated. At least, they wouldn’t while she was there, watching… and that was assuming Thomas was a man of his word. Right now, she didn’t trust anyone, least of all the man who had come to her house in his limo, offering a deal she couldn’t refuse. And who might still have me killed, right? One to grow on. She was here because her parents needed the money. For the first time, they needed her to bail them out. She wasn’t going to hurt people or allow them to be hurt, but she wasn’t going to stand rigidly by her principles and let them lose the house, either. Now more than ever, she wasn’t going to fuck it up. When the elevator doors opened on the basement floor, Thomas was waiting for her. Unfortunately, he looked as handsome as ever, and her stomach traitorously did a little mambo.
