Lie Next to Me (A Millionaire's Love #1) Page 47
Author: Sandi Lynn

“Umm, Miss Sinclair, I just thought you should know that Mr. Braxton’s father is on his way over to pick up some papers.”

I sighed and rolled my eyes. “Thank you, Mandy, for the warning. I can’t stand that man.”

Mandy let out a sigh of relief and put her hand on her chest. “Oh good, because I can’t stand him either. Can I tell you something privately?”

“Of course you can, Mandy. You can tell me anything.”

“Mr. Braxton’s father is always grabbing me and hitting my butt, and he says things to me.”

I looked at her with knitted eyebrows. “What does he say to you?”

I could tell she was nervous by the way she was wringing her hands. “He says he wants to take me to bed and have sex with me, but he doesn’t say it like that. It’s much dirtier.”

I sat there, shaking my head, and then I got up and hugged her. “You are to ignore that pig and don’t even look his way.”

“I try to hide every time he comes around, but sometimes I can’t.”

“Have you told Ian about this?” I asked.

“No, and please, Miss Sinclair, don’t tell him. He’ll fire me and I need this job so bad. I’m a single mom and I need to provide for my daughter.”

My heart sank. I didn’t know Mandy was a mother. “I didn’t know you had a child. How old is she?”

“She’s two.”

“What about her father?”

“He took off when he found out I was pregnant. I don’t know where he is,” she said as she looked down.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell Ian about it. Mandy, please call me Rory. We’re friends and you don’t need to call me Miss Sinclair.”

A smile graced her face when I said that. Just as she was about to walk out the door, she stopped and turned around.

“I’m really glad you’re here, and I’m happy you’re doing so much better. I was here the night Mr. Braxton brought you home.”

I gave her a smile and she left the study. I finished up the contract revisions and, as I was sending a text message to Adalynn, Richard came blowing in.

“Well, well, well. Good morning, Rory.”

“Good morning, Richard.” I smiled. “What can I do for you?”

“Since you asked, you can start by giving me a blow job.”

Calm. Deep breath. Handle him. “Oh, Richard, I’m sorry, but I don’t blow old men with wrinkly dicks.”

“You stupid trashy little bitch,” he said as he glared at me.

“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have things to do. Get what you need and leave,” I said as I walked out of the office.

I went upstairs to my room to grab my purse. I fumbled through it, trying to find my keys. As I was walking downstairs, I saw Richard talking to Mandy. She looked uncomfortable. As he was talking to her, she kept backing up until her back was against the wall. Richard took her hands and lifted them over her head.

“Let her go, NOW!” I commanded.

“Don’t you have somewhere you have to be, little girl?” he smirked.

“I said ‘let her go.’”

“Who the f**k do you think you are?” he said as he let go of Mandy’s arms and turned towards me.

“Richard, please, just leave.”

“Not until you tell me who you think you are,” he said as he inched closer to me.

I took off my heels and tossed them to the side. I gave him a seductive look before grabbing his balls and pushing him up against the wall. He let out a yell and Mandy stood there in shock.

“I’ll tell you who the f**k I am. My name is Rory Sinclair and I come from a family of crazies. My brother is a schizophrenic who’s locked up over at Hudson Rock Psychiatric Hospital. Did I mention that my brother is also my twin? So I guess that makes me a schizophrenic too,” I spat as I tightened the grip on his balls. “You will never speak to or look at Mandy again. Do you understand me? Because if I so much as even see you walking near her, I’ll rip these babies off. Do you understand me?” I yelled.

“YES!”

“Oh, and that also goes for me or any other female in this house. I wouldn’t tell Ian about this if I were you. You’d just make yourself look stupid,” I said as I let go of him and walked over to where my shoes were.

“You’re a f**king crazy bitch. You’re f**king crazy!”

“I know. It runs in the family.” I smiled. “Now, if you’ve gotten what you came here to get, then you need to leave.”

Richard walked out the door and Mandy hugged me. “Thank you. Thank you so much, Rory.”

The thought of Richard burned through me all the way to Prim. He was such a vile and disgusting human being. I rode the elevator up to the eleventh floor where Prim was located. As I walked through the large, glass double doors, the receptionist showed me to Adalynn’s office. When I walked in, I saw a very handsome man sitting in the chair across from her desk.

“Rory! Welcome to Prim!” Adalynn said excitedly as she walked over and hugged me.

“Hello, Miss Sinclair.” He winked.

“Hello, Mr. Braxton.” I smiled.

I handed Adalynn the folder with the contracts in it and sat down next to Ian.

“I didn’t know you were going to be here,” I said to him.

“I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I’d drop in and see how things were going. I just invited Adalynn and Daniel over for Thanksgiving.”

“Shit. That’s this week, isn’t it?”

If Ian was having Thanksgiving at his house, that meant Andrew and Richard would be there. Oh God, there was no way I could deal with the two of them, especially after what had just happened with Richard.

“You are going to be there, right?” Adalynn asked me.

“Of course she is. She lives there. Where else would she go?” Ian replied.

I didn’t want to talk about Thanksgiving. Holidays were not a pleasant subject for me. I looked at my phone and saw the time.

“I have to go. I have an appointment with Dr. Neil,” I said as I got up from my seat.

Ian followed me out of Adalynn’s office and into the elevators. “Are you okay?” he asked.

“I’m fine.”

He pushed the stop button on the panel and the elevator came to a halt. I should’ve seen this coming. “Let me guess. We’re going to have sex in the elevator.”

“You’re a smart woman. I knew I hired you for a reason.” He smiled. “I’m already hard and I bet you’re already wet,” he whispered as he leaned over and kissed my neck. His hand wasted no time traveling up my skirt as his fingers pushed my thong to the side.
