put everything away into my purse, then stood. |
walked out and smiled. "Hey. | had a question."
"Sure." Ternen smiled atbut I could see the tension below the surface.
My mom wantsto invite you all to dinner." | checked my phone. "Has Rick left yet?"
Alannah shook her head "No." She smiled as she put her things in her purse. "And we would love to join you at
dinner."
| nodded and then walked to Rick's office door. | knocked and swung the door open. | froze when | saw Vince
holding Rick by the
throat. "Ugh. I'm sorry. | didn't mean to interrupt." | spun in a circle, facing away from them.
Vince grunted, and | heard Rick take a deep breath in. "Amy, what are you doing in here?"
"| see that." | coughed. "My mom calledand askedto invite Rick and Alannah to dinner."
"Well, he's busy."

| turned around and grimaced. "While | appreciate that, this is my mom." | forced
an awkward smile to my face. "She won't listen
to me. Can you call her?"
Vince huffed out a breath. Then turned to me. "Of course." He pulled out his phone and dialed my mom. There
was a brief pause, and then her voice rang out. "Hello Ainsley. | called because Amy cinto take Rick to your
house for dinner, but he is currently in a meeting with me."
"He's in a meeting with you?" My mother's voice dropped an octave. "Are you sure? Is anyone else there?" Her
voice took on a
thread of anger.
Vince looked at the phone in confusion before he glanced at me. But | just shrugged. "Yes, | am sure. Why?"
Vince was trying to
make sground and take hack the power my mother so easily took.
"Well, Alpha Vince." Vince winced. My mother only used the title if she was pissed or in a setting in front of
others that she had to uphold titles. "My dear husband said he was having dinner with you." Her voice was now
ice. "He actually just textedsaying you two were elbow deep in reports and that he won't be hfor
hours." She growled, and it was savage. "And here you're tellingyou are in a meeting with Amy's boss. So
Alpha, where the fuck is my husband?"
You could hear a pin drop as Vince looked towith wide eyes. He mouthed of shit and then chuckled. "Ainsley."
He started, but you could tell he didn't know where Morgan was. "Morgan is in my office right now. We were in a
meeting, but | cto talk with Rick."
"If you aren't there, then why did he lie?"
Vince laughed. "He didn't | just zipped down here to go over things with Rick?"
"You know Alpha. | think you are covering for Morgan. | don't think you have been with him for hours." The truth

us, and Vince paced. "If that is the case, then | can only assthat my husband is cheating." Vince froze.
"That's a crazy accusation, Ainsley." He tried to counter, but she scoffed.
"Is it? We have been struggling for years because of the bullshit he pulled. And now | know he's lying toand
y8our covering for him. I'll be petitioning the king for a dissolution."

"Ainsley, wait, you can't." Vince tried to convince her to hold on.
"Unless you can get my husband on the phone within five minutes, which, if he is in your office, should be easy.
I'll be calling the king in ten minutes. Better run." She disconnected the call and Vince turned a pale face to me.
"What just happened?" He looked a little lost.
"I don't know. She made dinner, and then Shannon and Morgan said they were busy. She calledand told me
to invite Rick and Alannah and then, well, you heard." | let my mouth flop open. "Alpha...you have been here
since lunch. Morgan definitely lied to my mom."
His eyes snapped to mine. "You can't tell her that."
| lifted my brow. "I don't think it will matter. You only have four minutes to find him before she calls the king."
"Oh fuck." Vince turned and ran out of the room.
Rick turned towith a blank face. "Do you think your mother will still want us to
o cto dinner?"
I nodded. "Of course, she will need a distraction. Why don't you invite your wife
and daughter? I'll call my mom and tell her I'll be bringing extra. That way, she will
have to cook more and will work off sof her anger."
"Will that work?" Rick typed a quick message on his phone.
"We can hope."
