Loose 477


A wave of shame hit me, and I instinctively wrapped myself tighter in his suit jacket.

The two guys clearly had no idea who Edward was. When he stepped up to meddle in their business, Richie Wallace didn’t hold back–he jabbed a finger at Edward and said, “Hey, man-”

Edward moved fast and hard. Richie’s face puffed up like a balloon in seconds. He grabbed his cheek, swearing up a storm, and looked ready to throw down.

Just then, a few bodyguards in black suits stepped in and took him down without breaking a sweat. Richie’s buddy saw the writing on the wall and bolted.

Richie’s face turned beet red as he cursed up a storm, but the bodyguards dragged him into a private room nearby.

An arm reached out and steadied me by the shoulder. Edward’s voice was icy as he asked, “You okay?”

I looked at him, dazed and shocked. “Mr. Jennings, why are you here?”
