Chapitre 383: Chapter 383: Deputy Fleming

I gaped at the phone in Jill's hand while my deputy friend shot me a wry grin that told me she knew this announcement was coming, likely had been warned by the man I loved a moment before he told his employee to put him on speakerphone and make me the center of unhappy attention.

Thing was, the instant he made his announcement, the fury on Olivia's face flashed to relief and, without missing a beat, she stuck her hand out to me and shook my limp and unresponsive one while she pumped away at my arm like I'd been waiting my whole life for this accolade.

"Welcome to the team, Fiona," she said, nodding abruptly like she'd only then made up her mind about me and hadn't cajoled, canoodled and conspired her way into my sort of if not completely good graces time and time again. "I'm sure with your talent and expertise this horrible incident will be behind us in short order."
