nothing I can say that will help you,” she said. “So maybe you’d rather not waste your time on a girl like me.”
He blinked acknowledgment of her insight. “I won’t be wasting my time. And I’m sorry for lying. But as you can see, this case is very important to me. Come on, Rachel.” He held out his hand. “Come with me.”
She wasn’t ready to let him off that easy. “What about your ex-wife? Won’t she mind if you take me home?”
He took a second or two to piece together what she’d said. “I don’t care if she does.”
Jared would have said something like that to her. Experienced liar.
She looked away.
“Hmph,” Lucas scoffed. “You think I’d actually take her back after what she did?”
She rolled her eyes his way. His lying bothered her more than the threat of his ex-wife.
“I’m not Jared,” he said. “And I resent you comparing me to that.”
Again, she turned away.
Lucas took her hand and pulled her toward him. “I get why you don’t trust easily, especially since I lied to you. But you aren’t in any danger if all I do is drive you home.”
Pulling her hand free of his, she started toward his black SUV.
“Where’s your car?” she asked.
“In my garage. I have more than one vehicle.”
Of course he did. He had money.
It was the cold, not him, that made up her mind. She’d be a fool to trust this master manipulator.
