“Blair,” Peters said in greeting before turning to Roman’s office. “Is he ready for me?”

She nodded, pressing the intercom. “Roman, Peters is here,”

“Send him in,” Roman’s voice came through.

Blair waved him through, watching as he disappeared into Roman’s office. Something was going on. Peters had been in Roman’s office a lot lately. Curiosity itched at her, but she pushed it aside and turned back to her work. She was not going to think about this coming weekend.

Roman leaned back in his chair, eyes sharp as he regarded his head of security. “Is there any update on the missing money?”

Peters shook his head. “There hasn’t been another transaction, but when that happens, we have everything in place to catch whoever it is.”

Roman’s jaw tightened. “I hate that someone is stealing from me.”

“I’ll keep digging. It could be some time before they try again,” his head of security assured him. “We will look for any other financial discrepancies in the sales department’s invoices. I have one of my team on the inside. She will go over everything.”

Roman’s expression darkened. “Excellent.”

“Our inside person has noticed that Dan is very interested in what she is doing.”

Roman smirked coldly. “I wonder if he is stupid enough to steal from me. Just tell her to be careful.”

“He could be involved, or he could be covering for someone else. Either way, he’s a problem. He hasn’t said anything to anyone yet about you and Blair, but he is a piece of shit.”
