bChapter /bb23/bb: /bWhen devious nse together.

Vanessa walked proudly into HT–bCorp /bholding ba /bfolder in her hand. The contents were filled with different blueprints and designs for houses, townhomes, and condosb. /bbEach /bdesign had a unique re that she was sure would catch her brother’s attention. After bbumping /bbinto /bthat buffoon of a woman at bthat /bcafé, Vanessa told herself these documents were owed to her bas /bpayback bfor /bspilling hertteb. /b

bAs /bshe grew closer to his boffice/bb, /bVanessa bcould /bhear Christian speaking with someone on the phone.

i“/iiSo /ido you ihave /ia ilocation /ifor ihim /ior noti??/i”

i“/iiThe /irebelle Inn…ithat’s /iiwhere /ihe is nowi? /iiOr /iwhere ihe /iiwas/ib?/bbi” /i/b

Vanessa’s heart instantly fellb; /bThe rebelle Inn is where Tillman had been staying. Vanessa began to panicb; /bhow the hell did he bfind /bhim bso /bfast! Jamie had someone create a fake name, ID, and new social number for Tillman to make hiding him easier. But no matter whatb, /bbit /bseemed Christian’s resources were better! Pulling out her cell, she immediately texted Jamie.

Jamie stared at his phone with an irritated expression. It was bing extremely costly as well as exhausting to continuously hide Tillman. Christian’s team was extremely efficient, it would only be a matter of time before they actually found him or before Christian would notice the paper trail. To make matters worse, Vanessa was bing extremely demanding as if this whole entire thing WASN’T her bfault/bb! /bJamie found himself wondering if this was how Josie felt when she went to prison in ce of Vanessa.

Jamie stared at the message for several minutes before responding. Because he was the younger brother, no one truly expected anything great from him. He’d spent his entire life living in Christian’s shadow. The only person that ever made him feel like he wasn’t just the second rated brother was Vanessa; and now she was starting to lose her faith in him too.

b[/bbiThat /i/bbwon’t /bbe necessaryb…./bI’ll bfigure /bsomething iout/i.b] /b

A devious grinned spread across Vanessa’s face. She knew throwing Christian in Jamie’s face would make him reconsider. She’d known for a long time that Jamie was inferior to Christian. Over the yearsb, /bshe’d used his inferiority to her advantage.

Vanessa turned eagerly towards Christian’s office; it was time to solidify her role as heiress and head of the Designing department.

Knock. Knock.

Vanessa gently knocked on Christian’s door just as he was finishing up his call.

i“/iiCome /iiin/ii./ii” /i

“iHey /ibig brother…got a iminute/ii./ii” /i

Vanessa poked her head through the door sporting her shy and most innocent look.

“Of icourse/ii. /iiCome /iion /iiin/ii./ii” /i

Vanessa took a seat at Christian’s desk as she feigned nervousness while holding two of the six sketches she’d stolen from the girl at the bcafé/bb. /b

“iWhat /iican /iI ido /iiyou /i

iNess/ib?/b”

As if afraid of what he might say; Vanessa slid the folder gently onto his deskb. /b

“Well…as you know I ileft /iwork iearly /iyesterday so ithat /iI could itry /iand brainstorm.”

Christian’s brows furrowed, after Vanessa left his office the day before; he’d found himself feeling guilty. Perhaps he had been too hard bon /bher. She’d worked so hard over the past four years trying to prove herself and the bfirst /bthing he did was throw some phantom designer in her face. He’d nned on apologizing that evening, but he when he got home she wasn’t there.

“Ness…about iyesterday/ii; /i1-”

i“/iNo! iChris/ii! /iiI /idon’t iwant /iyou to iapologize/ii! /iiYou’re /iiright/i! I ihaven’t /iibeen /iigiving /imy ibest/ii. /iiMy /iwork hasn’t been what it used to be.i” /i
