I’m saved by the bell this time though. My doorbell chime has Cary putting down his drink and moving towards the foyer again. I frown at him. “Expecting someone?”
Cary sheepishly smiles at me. “Yes, I’ll explain in a second, cuz.” He disappears towards the foyer. Red shrugs and heads to the drink she left on the table. I turn to the door just as Cary walks in with a tall, dark haired man. He’s about my age, thin but muscular, expensively dressed.
Cary starts talking fast, introducing the guy before they’ve even reached me. “I didn’t get a chance to tell my cousin about your interest in a particular product he might be able to obtain for you.” Cary nods to me, doing a poor job of trying to act like he’s not talking in code while he obviously is. “I’m sure you can better describe your needs anyway.”
The man smiles at me, but I can see that his eyes are on Red behind me, obviously looking her up and down. That pit of anger is back, and I shoot a glare at Cary. He pushes himself in closer to us. “Simon, meet Miles Vanderson.”
