“Is everything all right, Ms. Black?”

Bianca jerked to attention. “Yes.” She shook her head as if to steady herself. “I’m sorry. I don’t think this is going to work. If I have to have someone following me around all day, I’m only interested in the best.”

Sam gritted her teeth. “As I said, I don’t do solo jobs.”

“I’ll insist that my mother hire some other security firm, then. One that can actually give me the best.”
