Beneath Her Bastard Boss

Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Keira drove as she did everything else, with supreme confidence. Sutton thought it might be because she was the youngest. She had been very young when their parents had died.

While Keira told her about what had happened at the party she attended with her boss last

night…

“So then this diplomat’s wife shows up,” Keira was saying, barely slowing for a yellow light that she could have stopped for, “wearing the exact same designer dress as the ambassador’s mistress… who wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place and I swear to God, Sutton, you could’ve cut the tension with a knife. It wasn’t that the wife didn’t know something was going on. But golden rule never have them in the room at the same time. I would say after that little stunt the mistress is on the way out. The wife’s family is the one with the money.”

Sutton gripped the door handle as Keira took a corner too fast. “Fascinating. Could you please focus on the road before you kill us both? I’d like my baby to actually make it to birth.”

“Relax,” Keira said, though she did ease up on the gas slightly. “I’ve never had an accident.”

“I’m sure that should fill me with reassurance, but it doesn’t,” Sutton muttered.

Her phone buzzed with an incoming text. Luca again.

Luca: Are you on your way?

Sutton: Yes. Keira is driving like she is in Formula 1. Pray for me.

Luca: Should I be praying for you or for myself when you arrive?

Sutton smiled despite herself.

Sutton: Both.

Luca: I’m not that far away myself.

“Stop texting him,” Keira said, not taking her eyes off the road. “You’re supposed to be helping me practice my intimidating facial expressions for when he shows up.”

“I thought we agreed on ‘civil.””

“I’m civil. Doesn’t mean I can’t also silently communicate that I know seventeen ways to make his death look like an accident.”

Sutton rolled her eyes. “You don’t know seventeen ways to make someone’s death look like an accident.”

“I work for a prince, remember,” Keira countered. “I’ve picked things up.”
