'What's your relationship with her now?' Kate asked.
'I'm taking care of her. When we were married, she went through some pretty hard times when I didn't do that.'
'What's that mean for us?'
Sherry Fritzshall had been true to her word, reaching an agreement with Kate to compensate her for the damage Milo Harper had caused her firm. After the ink was dry, she tried to recruit Kate to the institute but Kate told her she had accepted a job in California.
'I don't know. You're moving to San Diego next week so you can take care of Brian. We're both doing what we need to do.'
Kate finished the last of her wine, setting her glass down and folding her hands on the table. 'Will you come see me?'
'When I can.'
She rose from the table. 'Don't wait too long.'
I watched her drive away. My cell phone rang. It was Lucy.
'It's after one o'clock. Are you planning on coming in to the office today?'
I never asked Lucy or Simon about the money that showed up in Kent's and Dolan's bank accounts and they never said a word about it. Some things are better left unknown and unsaid.
'You and Simon are the partners. You're supposed to be in the office. I'm just a consultant and consultants don't punch a clock.'
She laughed. 'Well, try to work us in to your schedule. You won't believe who just hired us.'
