Put your pants on. Geez...”
“What? I can’t help it. You bent over. I’m a simple man, babe.”
But Kristine just rolled her eyes. “I will never understand how men can think about sex in times of crisis.”
Overdramatic much? Sean pulled his pants on. “This isn’t a tsunami. We are not being hunted by a crazed killer. Someone threw chairs around and stole the champagne glasses. It’s not a crisis—it’s an irritation.”
“They didn’t steal the glasses. They spray painted underwear on some of the models in the photos.”
Sean blinked. Then he started laughing. He couldn’t help it. “That’s just dumb.”
“It’s not funny!”
“It kind of is, you have to admit. They put underwear on the models?” He shook his head. “Some people have too much damn time on their hands.”
“It might be funny if it wasn’t happening to me.” She strode past him. “What am I going to do? The exhibit is supposed to open in two days! Friday is a charity fund-raiser for breast cancer research. This is just so bad. I’m going to lose my job and I’m going to starve.”
He was tempted to offer for her to eat him, not in sarcasm, but as an innuendo, but one thing he knew was that Kristine couldn’t be teased out of hysteria. She needed a solution to the problem, however large or small, and she needed one offered quickly before her panic escalated. “Let’s take a look at the damage before you file for unemployment.”
“I can’t imagine this will look good for your security firm, either,” she said, rushing anxiously across the backroom.
Oh, hell, no, he wasn’t going to let this fall on Maddock Security. “Our contract states we start at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, an hour before the guests arrive. This is not my fault. I was here because of the divorce papers, not because of work.”
She glanced at him over her shoulder. “Really? You came here just because of me?”
“Of course. It was totally out of the blue, Kristine. I wanted to talk to you. I was curious why the sudden action. But never mind. Let’s see what happened here and figure out how to solve it. No one is getting fired, I promise.”
