Beneath the Boss: Omnibus (The Complete Collection)
“She knew it was a futile task, but she was going to try anyway. Just a few more minutes. Then she’d face whatever challenge Leighton had in store.
Leighton!
She bolted upright, memories of last night flooding her all at once. She leaned back slowly, resting against her pillows, wanting to hide underneath them and never come back out. She lay there for long moments, contemplating her circumstance. As best as she could tell, she had two choices. First, she could move, change her identity, and hope the relentless man she wanted to avoid wouldn’t hunt her down. Second, she could pray he’d been in a fugue state last night and had no recollection of what had occurred. Both options lived somewhere in Slim-to-Noneville, so she was on her own. She didn’t know if she could face him after last night, but she was sure it was better to get it over with.
Decision made, Layla climbed out of bed and began her morning routine. She had pulled out her standard attire of a pantsuit and shirt, and stalled... for a moment when she saw the skirt in her laundry.MoreLess
