GRANT
The waning light of the day streamed through the windows of his
study as Grant Harrington tightened his grip on his tumbler. The
ripples in the amber liquid mirrored his mounting frustration.
The reports scattered across his desk offered scarce information on DG
Industries, the elusive company entwined in his secretary, Evelyn Clarke’s
bizarre ordeal.
His thoughts flitted between anger and concern. His new wife, Julia,
had been the one who made the discovery and saved him from a murder
charge, but the peril she’d faced while rescuing his secretary provided a
grim reminder of the stakes.
He still worried about her recovery from the injuries she’d sustained
during the incident. The emotion frightened him as deeply as the high
stakes themselves. It went beyond corporate espionage; the boundaries of
his contractual marriage seemed to increasingly blur in his mind.
Grant sipped his bourbon, allowing the vanilla hints to dance across his
tongue as he flicked his gaze outside.
“Mr. Harrington,” the voice of his butler, Worthington, said from behind
him. “Still working?”
“Not really,” he said, eyes never leaving the pristine front yard of
Harrington House.
“Avoiding something, then?”
Grant offered a soft laugh as he spun in the leather executive chair to
face the gray-haired man. “No.”
“Really?” Worthington said with a flick of his eyebrow that questioned
the answer.
“I’m not,” Grant assured him. “I’m just…trying to read something into
this lack of information. I can’t believe this is all they’ve found in weeks.
Actually, what I’m considering is a clean sweep of the security team.”
Worthington chuckled as he lifted the tumbler from Grant’s hand and
crossed to the sleek drink cart to freshen his drink. “If their identity had
been easy to find, none of this would have happened.”
“You’re right,” Grant said. “But Julia managed to track down more
information in less time.”
“And thank heavens for us and Evelyn Clarke that Mrs. Harrington was
quick-witted enough to piece it together.”
Grant pressed his lips into a thin line, staring into the amber liquid
again. “Yes. Not for her though.”
Worthington offered a fleeting smile, understanding his concern over
the physical injuries Julia had sustained. “Mrs. Harrington seems to have
recovered quite well.”
Grant’s mind strayed to the frightening moments he’d waited in the
hospital for information about her. With the hit to the head she’d sustained,
things could have gone much worse than a severe concussion.
He’d spent the next two days by her side, insisting she remain in bed
and resting to ensure there were no lasting effects. The memory of their
shared time had been a primary factor in the blurring of the lines of their
contract.
