“Because you need the trailer cleaned and organized. It’s a mess. It’s going to take me at least a week or more to clean it and organize everything.”
“Skylar Rose, federal law states I’m required to give all employees two twenty-minute breaks and an hour lunch. I thought you knew that.”
I shook my head. “No. I didn’t know that.”
“What do you mean? I thought you said you’ve worked before.”
“I have, just not in the capacity like I did today.”
“Fix this. Now!” King ordered angrily as he and Gunner left the kitchen. “Scribe, Priest. Follow.”
Alone with him, I kept my eyes on the fruit bowl in front of me. I didn’t want to anger him anymore. When he didn’t move, I slowly looked up to find him glaring at me.
He was always glaring at me.
“It won’t happen again. I’m sorry.”
Saying nothing, he finished making the sandwich Priest started, then placed it on a plate before sliding it over to me. Taking a seat before me, he waited as I picked up the sandwich and took a bite.
“I want to apologize for last night. I wasn’t myself and I took it out on you. It won’t happen again.”
Swallowing, I lowered my sandwich. “Mr. Montclair, you don’t have to apologize to me. I understand.”
He cocked his head and furrowed his brow in confusion.
“I found Ellie’s box in the trailer. I’m sorry for your loss.”
He stiffened.
“She was a beautiful woman. You must have loved her very much.”
Jumping to his feet, he glared at me. Only this time, he said absolutely nothing before he stormed from the kitchen, leaving me to eat alone.
Sighing, I pushed my plate away.
Great.
I made him angrier.
Leaving the kitchen, I walked into the main room when I spotted two very familiar men smiling at me. Not thinking, I ran to them, as one of them caught me, hugging me tightly.
Holding on to him as if my life depended on it, I cried.
“It’s okay, Sky. I’m here now,” my uncle Luc said, before releasing me. Turning, I hugged my uncle Matt.
“How are you both here? I sent messages, even tried to call. I couldn’t reach you.”
“We didn’t get any messages, sweetie. If we’d known, you know damn well we’d both have been there. We are so sorry you had to go through that all by yourself,” Uncle Luc stated.
“Where is the brat?” Uncle Matt asked, looking around.
“In town with my woman and Beth. They should have him home soon,” King said.
A low growl from behind me had me turning to find Mr. Montclair glaring at my two uncles. Releasing my uncle Matt, I took a step back as King introduced them. “Hawk, Law, this is my brother Chase. Goes by Pyro. He’s been watching over Skylar since she arrived.”
Uncle Luc looked Chase up and down before extending his hand. “Name’s Lucifer Hawk. President of Disturbed MC. Sky is my goddaughter.”
“And I’m Matthew Law, owner of Harbor Security in New York City. I’m also Sky’s godfather. Thank you for watching out for her and Cameron.”
