Jane stared at Brock Davenport as she struggled to ask for help, she didn’t want anything that would make her feel like she owed him.“Jane? What’s the matter? Do you need something?” He asked as he stared back at her.“Senior, I’m really very sorry to ask but can I use your phone? I don’t know what is wrong with mine, it’s not working.”“My phone? You want to call your husband?”“Yes, my phone isn’t working at all and I’m even more worried. I don’t know how he is or if he’s better now.”Her words became more panicked as she spoke.“Oh, I’m sorry but that isn’t possible. You can’t use my phone.”“Eh? But… why? Did I do something wrong over the night?”He chuckled, “No, I don’t have phone access either. My grandfather made sure of that.”“What? No house phones either? That’s just mean, what if something happened to you in this foreign country?”“It’s alright, he thought about all of that so I’m fine.”“Still…” she sighed, rich people were just built differently. If only she knew that he

Bruce left the mansion in his Escalade after packing a few clothes and essentials, he would come back once he had all the evidence he needed to prove his Young Mistress’s innocence.He drove to Baymont and got a parking spot before approaching the familiar receptionist.“Maestro Bruce.” She nodded in acknowledgment.“Ah Giulia, as lovely as ever. Tell Maurice I’m here, would you?”“Absolutely. You know your way to the…”“Bar? Sure love, I’ll be fine by myself, you go ahead,” he winked as he stalked off and she shook her head with a small smile as she instructed the special bell boy to wheel his luggage to his assigned room.He went to the private booth and a Swiss knife flew at his face as he drew the curtains which he caught between his index and middle finger.“As sharp as ever I see,” a man with a Russian accent said as he chuckled and puffed a Panetela Gigante as he rose to his feet.“Maurice,” Bruce called as he embraced the man and clapped him on the back, “I see your cigars have

“Not permitted? Since when?” Bruce scoffed and immediately called Maurice who picked up on the second ring.“This had better be important, Bruce, I risked annoying my woman for you,” Maurice growled angrily.“Ohhh, pardon me, Mr Cupid. I didn’t mean to interrupt your sexy time with whichever poor beauty got lured into your net this time,” Bruce chuckled.“Poor beauty, you say? How dare you address my sweetheart in such a manner?” Maurice said with enough sass that Bruce imagined he had his nose in the air.“I’ll have you know that my darling is one of a kind, an absolutely gorgeous woman. So you take that back immediately… I demand it.”“Oh dear me,” Bruce laughed, “since when did you start committing to one woman, my friend?”“Oh Bruce, old lad. It was quite unexpected the way it began but that’s a story for another time. Tell me, to what do I owe the displeasure of your call?”“We have a fish on the hook…. It worked.”“Ha! Now it’s getting interesting enough to play. Let’s talk tomor

“What do you mean by a bake sale promotion? Why would I want to meet her at a bake sale?”“Hey, how would I know? You’re the one who sent an email with a bake sale so I simply assumed you wanted to meet her there or something like that.”Bruce face palmed and sighed as he desperately wished he could reach through the phone and whack Maurice on the head with a baseball bat.“No, Maurice,” Bruce sighed, “I did not send her a bake sale email. I sent her an email with my location.”“Well, why didn’t you just say that then? I thought you developed a sweet tooth and wanted to also have a date at this bake sale. You know… like killing two birds with one stone.”“Shut up and check what went wrong, this is serious, Maurice. It’s important I get across to her and maintain contact. She’s the only one who can talk to Young Master Ethan when the time comes.”“Alright, fine. Let me see what I can pull up but no promises because we don’t know who we’re dealing with or what resources they have so we h

“Alright, can I at least get the name of the organization from you so I can check them out?” Bruce asked impatiently, already done with Maurice for one day.“No can do Brucey bear, I want to be able to see the look on your face in person when you get the information on them,” Maurice cackled as he got up from his desk.“What are you even going on about, Maurice? This is important, why do I have to wait for you to get back to the hotel? Wait… what kind of organization is it?”“What do you mean what kind of organization is it, I just told you to be patient. Why are you in such a hurry? We all know you want to see your little girlfriend but have some patience.”Bruce sighed with his face in his hands as he wondered why he ever got himself involved with such a human. He really should have only shown gratitude for Maurice saving his ass and not gone ahead to be friends with him.“Now not to worry Brucey bear, I’ll be with you in ten minutes,” Maurice said as he exited his agency and got int
