Rebecca wasn’t buying it. Richard opened the door and gestured for her to hurry. “Come on.”
Rebecca held out her hand. “Give me my phone first. I need to send May a message. If I hang up on her out of nowhere, she’ll freak out.”
“When you hung up on me like that, did you ever think I’d be worried?” Richard said, shameless as ever.
Rebecca just stared at him. Before she could say something to distract him, the elevator doors opened. Riley stepped out in a dark short–sleeved shirt, her short, choppy hair falling across her forehead, looking effortlessly cool.
When Riley noticed that Rebecca was staring at her, she gave a small smile and winked. Richard followed her gaze instinctively.
“If I’m not mistaken, this phone belongs to Rebecca,” Riley said casually. She plucked the phone from Richard’s hand, flipped it twice, and toyed with it. “Why did you take it?”
“Give it back to me!” Richard lunged for it. The phone was the only thing keeping Rebecca under his control. If it returned to her, she wouldn’t follow him to open the door, and he’d lose his chance at whatever was inside.
Riley easily dodged him and placed the phone in Rebecca’s hand. “Keep it safe.”
A weight lifted off Rebecca’s chest. “Thanks.”
Richard’s face darkened. He was clearly annoyed at Riley’s sudden interference. “Who are you?” he demanded.
