Murphy's Law
“The movement of the hydraulic lift left her stomach in her throat, sharing space with the lump she couldn’t swallow. Humiliation spread like fire through her body. Jack might as well have taken out a space ad and announced their affair to the New York Times.
The entire time they questioned her, that agent probably thought she’d been sleeping with her boss too. Jack said the question of their relationship wouldn’t arise. She told them the decision to return and testify had been her own. She coul...d handle Santana making the accusation, but not Jack boasting about it.
He might have been trying to cover his own rear end, but it backfired, making the situation worse. Now she understood Winston’s warning. He was afraid that Jack had deliberately blown the case—that they were all working together with Santana. Now she would have to worry how convincing Santana’s lawyer could be in court. She still might find herself being charged for a crime she didn’t commit.
The elevator reached the bottom, and so did her spirits.MoreLess
