All Chapters of The Lawyer- Save Me Love Taste: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

She had clearly found someone to replace me. I was happy for her; she needed an assistant, and I obviously couldn’t be that person. But what my trained eyes saw were videos that were extremely choppy, the cuts not matching, the quality poor. The pictures hadn’t been taken in good lighting, and the digital mastering hadn’t been smoothed out; it appeared like she was trying to hide her imperfections and had done a shitty job.I returned to the post from a few hours ago.The one that was so unnecessary, so callous and self-serving.“Someone’s going for the sympathy vote, huh?”I sighed. “Yep.”“Should I tell that honey babe that jealousy isn’t a good look on anyone?”My hands began to shake, my stomach churning.“Do you think everyone knows she’s talking about me—but not really talking about me because we both know I didn’t stab her anywhere, especially not in the back? I mean, my God.”“I think her stalkers do, but that’s it.”I felt my eyes widen. “What does that mean?”“You just lande

I held my forehead, the pressure helping with the ache. “I don’t. Brett told me you showed up. I just got off the phone with him.”“Listen, I don’t have much time to talk. I’m in Malibu and about to run into a meeting, but I’m calling to see if you have plans on Saturday.”Saturday, Saturday.I could barely think straight, but nothing was coming to mind.I pulled up my schedule to be sure. “I’m free. Why?”“I have to fly to Vegas to meet a client, and my nanny is on vacation all week. You know I wouldn’t ask you to take Everly on a weekend unless I was in a real pinch.”“It’s no problem. I’ll take her.”“You’re sure?”“Yeah, of course.”“You’re a lifesaver. Everly is going to be so happy when I tell her.”My phone vibrated once more, and I looked at the screen. This time, the shot Brett sent was of Kendall in the pool. Her back was against the edge, holding what looked like a skinny margarita. The red suit showed her perky, hard nipples, those little peaks fucking taunting me.I wante

And if my niece wasn’t in the backseat, singing to the tunes that were playing, I would fuck her in my Range Rover, her palms flat on the tinted glass, her legs spread wide, riding me in my seat.“Hey, guys,” she said as she climbed into the passenger side, smiling at me. She immediately turned around to greet Everly. “I’m Kendall.” She stuck out her hand, my niece gently grabbing it. “It’s very nice to meet you. I’ve heard lots of things about you. Your uncle is a bit of a bragger when it comes to you.”“That’s ’cause I’m his favorite.” My niece giggled. “I’m Everly, but Uncle D calls me Eve sometimes. He says you’re pretty cool.”“Is that so?” Kendall looked at me. “She’s the cutest.”“She’s excited about these pancakes.” I pulled away from the curb, the drive only a block from her building.“Has your uncle told you about all the delicious flavors they have?”I watched Everly from the rearview mirror as she nodded, the side ponytails bobbing, one several inches higher than the other

“A girl after my own heart,” Kendall said, wiping Everly’s face with a napkin she had dunked in her water glass. “Chocolate is my favorite kind of cake.”“Me too!” She reached for her milk, leaving chocolate handprints on the cup. When she finished drinking, she dumped another spoonful of whipped cream on her plate, her lips forming a big circle, full of excitement. “When are you going to be on TV? I need to remember, so I can ask Daddy if I can watch.”“The TV cameras are following her around now,” I said.“NOW?!” Everly shouted across the restaurant before realizing how loud she had been and laughing at herself.“Not now, now,” Kendall said. “But they have been over the last week, and the show will probably come on in a few months.”“Uncle D, make sure to tell Dad that, ’kay?”“Of course.”Everly wiggled as she ate, the thrill not even close to wearing off and the sugar just starting to kick in. After a few more bites, she flopped back against her seat. She patted her belly. “Umph.

Before my brain could even think of a response, his hand was on my back again, and we were moving into the restroom. Once we were inside, I reached into my dress and turned down my microphone. The show allowed for privacy during bathroom breaks, so this was something I would normally do anyway.He checked the stalls, each door unlocked and open. “Good. We’re alone.” He closed the distance between us, leaving less than a foot. “I know that won’t last for long, so I’ll be quick. Kendall, I’d really like to take you out. Not when there’s cameras following you or when there’s paparazzi tailing us. Just me and you, in a restaurant off the grid, where we can talk and get to know each other.”I was sure the shock was registering on my face, his suggestion the last thing I’d expected.“I’m sorry …” I took a breath. “I’m just a little surprised.”“I can tell. Why?”“I don’t know.” I glanced around the small room, trying to get my thoughts straight. “I guess I assumed this had something to do w
