The sound of someone calling him pulled him out the hard sleep. Opening up his eyes and seeing Parker Mills standing over his bed looking very amused was not what she was expecting. He looked over at the empty pillow beside him and wondered what the hell had happened to her.
"You know they invented cell phones in order to reach the unreachable," Parker said picking up the phone off the bed stand. "When you turn them off it makes the invention useless." He tossed the cell phone on the bed near Ethan's head.
Ethan checked the screen of the phone and frowned hard. "It's five in the afternoon?"
"Yes and the whole world was looking for you up until noon. The foreman from the other site came over here to check on you per your brother's insistence and found you sleep. Your brother told him to leave you be and he would handle the problem but when you still hadn't returned any of the calls he's left he asked me to come by since I was looking for you too. Busy night?" Parker sat in a chair near the door with that silly smirk on his face.
"I've never overslept in my entire adult life."
"Must have been some girl then."
Ethan jumped out the bed wrapping the covers around him. "Why were you and my brother looking for me?"
"Two different reasons. James wanted to let you know there was a break into the office last night in Auburn Hills. Someone stole the master keys to the Grand Boulevard sight near downtown. He only put a special watch on the site, but thought you should check it out later on tonight if you had a chance. He didn't think it was important, because on the master key set was a gold plated lock that he figured the perps really wanted."
Ethan went into the bathroom and slipped on a pair of jeans and sweater. "What was the reason you were looking for me?"
"I wanted to give your friend the good news of merging the business with her. I met with her brother and I was so upset at the fraudulent document he gave me, I let him know he would not be receiving the final payments for the sale of his share of the business due to the fact that the shares he thought he was selling did not belong to him."
He stopped what he was doing. Considering the kind of damaged Marvin had done to Nicole before, Ethan had a feeling Marvin would not be a happy camper about being refused the money. "So you didn't give him the money?"
