Legally Binding

Paul nodded, glanced at his watch and focused on Bart. “I have to run. I have a meeting. I hope you reconsider coming to the will reading. You might find it illuminating.”

As soon as Paul disappeared through the office door, Bart glanced at Lindsey. “That was strange.”

Lindsey nodded. “Paul obviously knew who the blonde was. But why wouldn’t he admit it?”

“Hell if I know. But I think you were right. I think I should probably go hear what Jeb put in his will.” He let out a stream of air. “But I’ll do it on one condition.”

“What’s that?”

“I want to bring my lawyer with me. I don’t like to make a move without legal advice I can count on.” A grin spread over his lips and a twinkle appeared in his green eyes.

She returned the smile despite herself. “I think that can be arranged.”

He really was an amazing man. He seemed to know just what to say, just how to smile to disarm her. Yet his warm grin and unassuming phrases didn’t seem like merely an attempt to manipulate her. They seemed true and honest and a genuine part of who he was.

“Do you need help toting those files Paul mentioned?”

“That would be great.”

Feeling stronger and more confident than she had in a long time, she walked out the door and down the hall to the main office, Bart by her side. She had a lot of work ahead of her. She just prayed she would find something useful soon. Because if she didn’t, a very good man would pay the price.
