He Toasted His Mistress at My Shower, So I Killed His App novel · Chapter 6 of 24
Chapter 6: Her Terms
On Monday morning I walked into the glass lobby of Ansley Ventures with Bea on one side and my coat buttoned over my stomach.
I had slept three hours in a hotel bed Bea paid for.
Bradley and Marilyn were waiting between the elevators.
So were two security guards in Alden Technologies jackets, and a man with a camera on his shoulder.
"There she is," Marilyn said, loud enough for the whole lobby. "Poor thing, she hasn't been herself for weeks."
The cameraman swung toward me.
"Cora, sweetheart," Bradley said, with his hand out and his voice soft. "Please come home. You're not well. We only want to help you."
He had planned every line.
If I screamed, I was a woman in crisis, and if I walked away, I was a woman who ran from help.
The receptionist stood up behind her desk and did not know what to do.
I breathed in.
"Bradley," I said, in an ordinary voice. "Tell the camera who owns the code in your app."
The cameraman's lens swung back to him.
Bradley's smile held for one second.
"This is a private family matter."
"It's a private family matter that four million parents will read about in two days," Bea said pleasantly. "Do you want to tell them first, or should we?"
"Is that a threat?" Marilyn said.
"It's a deadline."
One of the guards stepped toward me.
"Ma'am, we've been asked to escort you out."
"By whom?"
"By Mr. Alden."
"Then he's in the wrong building," said a voice behind me.
Patrick Ansley had come out of the elevator without anyone seeing.
