“Nothing. I...” But I did get her fired. This is all my fault.
Jack stalks forward, jaw ticking, eyes flat and cold. “What’d you do?”
I run a hand down my face. “She was fired for fraternization with a client.”
He blinks. “You? You werefraternizingwith her?” He grins. “Way to go, man.”
“No! Not way to go. Her company found out and fired her. I need to make this right. I need to talk to her.”
He drops into the chair across from me, folding his hands on his stomach, the grin growing into a smile. “Exactlyhowdid you fraternize with her?”
He makes it sound dirty and sexual, and it wasn’t that at all.
“Texting.”
“Sexting?”
I point at him. “If you’re not going to help, then get the hell out.”
He spreads his hands wide. “I’m just trying to get clarification.”
“It was not sexting, asshole. We...talked. A lot.”
“So, text her now. Or better yet, call her.”
“It was her work phone and it’s no longer in service.”
His brows rise. “Ah. So, you broke the cardinal rule by fraternizing with company property. Not smart, brother.”
“Shut up.” I drop my head back into my hands, feeling sick. What’s she thinking right now? Does she hate me?
“What do you need from me?” Jack asks.
“I need you to find her. A phone number. An address. Anything. I need to make this right.”
He places his hands on the arms of the chair and pushes up. “On it.”
As he’s reaching to open the door I call his name.
He looks over his shoulder. “Yeah?”
“I don’t care what you have to do to find her, just find her for me.”
He looks at me in sympathy. “Will do.”
