Chapter 60: The New Hire

They left Tricia in Randy's office, closing the door behind them. The look Randy gave Cassie indicated how fucked up the situation seemed. They didn't have a chance to chat about it because Karly emerged from Daniel's office, stunning Cassie to the core.

"You have got to be kidding me," she muttered. "I shouldn't have come in today."

"Nonsense. You have perfect timing. Karly's our new hire."

"What?" Cassie hissed, tossing him the death glare. It was as close as she could get to punching him. Pulling it together with new speed, she plastered a smile on her face as Karly approached.

"Cassie," Karly said with a giggle. "It's all good. Daniel and I worked things out, and I have you to thank. I loved being a police officer, but I love Daniel more. This way I can have the best of both worlds. Randy has been so kind and generous. I'll be working as receptionist, and once I get my bearings, I'll be taking on cases."
