have paperwork to do. I’ll be in my office for a while. Don’t bother me unless it’s important.”
“Okay, are you alright?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
I needed to just get away. I locked the door to the office. I lie down on the couch. Maybe I need to forget her. I think I’ll just take a nap here and then go home.
Who the fuck is knocking on the door? I thought I told Billy I didn’t want any visitors.
I opened the door and it was Roxy.
“What’s going on, Roxy?”
“I need to talk to you for a minute.”
“Come in. Just for a minute. Are you having a problem?”
“Yeah, I need off and Billy won’t let me have off.”
“Tell him I said its okay for you to have off.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah, we have plenty of girls that can fill in for you.”
She moved closer to me. “Thanks a lot, Brendan. You’re a great guy.”
“Thanks.” I was starting to feel uncomfortable. She looked like she wanted something from me and I had a good idea what that was.
“You can go tell Billy I said it’s okay to take off.” I was trying to get rid of her.
“Brendan, it’s no surprise that I want you,” Roxy said.
“I’m not interested, Roxy. I’m your boss.”
“Are you interested in this?” She put her hand down my pants and started massaging my dick.
Roxy was very hot. I’m not going to lie. I just wasn’t attracted to her. Her goal was to get me so turned on that I wouldn’t stop her. She was wrong. I went to go move her hand, but as I did, she kissed me. When she pulled away from me, Joella was standing in my doorway. I can only imagine what it looked like from the outside.
“Uh, uh. I’m sorry. Excuse me,” Joella said running off.
“Roxy, that was totally inappropriate. Get the fuck out of my office. You’re on suspension. Go home.”
“What?! You can’t do that. I need the money.”
“You heard me. Until further notice.”
I’m pissed off. If I go after Joella everyone will know I have feelings for her. I do have feelings for her which is totally crazy and unexpected. I feel like she belongs to me, but I just can’t claim her because she won’t let me.
Instead of chasing after her, I locked my door behind Roxy and took a nap. If I explained myself to her, she wouldn’t believe me anyway. I’ll deal with Joella when the time is right. Was she coming here to apologize? I can’t think of that right now.
Chapter Fifteen
Joella
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Roxy had her hand down Brendan’s pants and she was kissing him. He was kissing her back. I’m a fucking idiot. I got played by him. I need to put all these pieces together, figure out what’s going on and be done with this case. I’m in shock that he lied to me. I guess he will do anything to get a piece of ass.
After I leave here tonight, I’m going to drive back to his house and put the car keys in the mailbox and just drive my old car.
I’m feeling some kind of way because we just had sex last night. He couldn’t wait twenty-four hours. I ran to the bathroom to fix myself up and catch my breath. I had been going to Brendan’s office to talk to him about some things I have been noticing. Whatever is going on Billy and Roxy are involved. I wasn’t dancing on the stage tonight. Thank God. Billy had me socializing on the floor.
I fixed my hair and make-up. I wasn’t going to let this thing with Brendan get to me. I walked out onto the floor in my sexy outfit and heels. Billy was nowhere around.
“Hey Mike, You see Billy around?”
“He’s in Brendan’s office. There is all kinds of drama going on.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, Brendan suspended Roxy.”
“Get the fuck out of here.”
“Yep, Billy went to find out why.”
Hmm. I can tell him why. Because Brendan uses people and then throws them away. I need to find out what’s going on. Come on, I’m a detective for God’s sake. I walked up to the wall behind Brendan’s office. The door is half open and I hear
