Ingrid Weaver - Big-city Bachelor

First thing tomorrow, he’d tell Jeremy to increase the offer for her shares. And if that didn’t work—

The silence between them was broken abruptly by a purring ring from Alex’s jacket. He jerked, yanking his attention away from his new partner’s lips to reach into his pocket and pull out his phone.

“Mr. Whitmore? Are you there?”

At his housekeeper’s panic-stricken tone, he reflexively stiffened. Great. Now what?

It took less than a minute for Alex to find out what had put the panic in Mrs. Gray’s voice. All thoughts of his business and his partner were swept away by a wave of anxiety. Flipping the phone shut, he crammed it back inside his jacket and surged to his feet. “I’m sorry, Lizzie,” he said, already moving away. “I’ll have to meet you at the theater later. Something’s come up at home.”

She hesitated for less than a second before she wiped her palms on her skirt, grabbed her purse and rounded the table to follow him. “Hold on, partner. I’m coming with you.”
