Hanging on (Jessica Brodie Diaries #2) Read online

  As Adam and his ranch hand were unloading the bull, Adam whistled.

  “What?” I said, hoping I didn’t just make a huge mistake.

  “William’s got an eye for animals, I’ll say that.”

  “Why? What’s awesome?”

  “Look at this little guy. Good stock. I might have to get a free stud visit for helping secure him.” Adam grinned. Always the business man.

  “Um. Okay. I’ll give him food and everything, then I need to get home and wipe the disgusting memories from my mind from that creepy old Wyatt.”

  “You are a hell-uv-a negotiator, Jessica.”

  “Is that...?” I listened for a minute with my hand at my ear. “Is that respect creeping into your voice?”

  Adam laughed. “Maybe. I’ll admit to that, I guess. I might gotta take you along next time I need some cattle.”

  “You might gotta?” I shook my head at him.

  “You didn’t even see her hard ball, either,” Lump said with a smile. “She was trying to play a weepy role, but when she really wants something, stand back! I have seen her argue for a leather jacket in Mexico for half an hour, walking away with the best price of the day.”

  “Of the day? Try century!” I acted like I was cleaning the dirt off my shoulders.

  “You sure got a good price,” Adam said with a smile. “What are you going to do with your remaining $500?”

  I hadn’t realized he knew how much cash I had. “Put it in the bank until it’s time to hand it over to you...” My voice was matter-of-fact. “Easy come, easy go.”

  “Smart. Not like a woman,” Adam said, glancing at Lump for a reaction.

  I punched him in the arm and he laughed as he moved away from me.

  “Alright, git to work!” Adam said with a whoop. “High-heels ‘n all. You gotta get that bull situated before you leave here.”

  “Yes sir,” I saluted.

  Lump smiled and followed me, unbuttoning her pants so she had some breathing room.
