Chapter 18

 

Kara’s eyes widened with surprise, and almost immediately, narrowed with anger as Remy and Jace passed her table.  I thought she said she was through with that blue bastard!

The conversation at her table, about reparations and Kara’s role in it, died as her attention followed their progress.  Jace pulled out Remy’s chair and helped her sit while the hostess looked on with a silly grin on her face.  Kara was aware that the hostess, who was human, saw only an African-American couple, not the intercoven couple Kara saw.  After he’d tucked Remy’s chair, Jace walked around the table to take his seat while the hostess handed them menus.  What a gentleman he is.  The sneer on her face belied that thought.

So riveted by the lunch date in progress, Kara had forgotten her own lunch, along with her conversation and her friend.

With much name-calling and hand-waving, Liz, Kara’s lunch companion and one of her longtime employees, finally got her employer’s attention.  “You know them?”

“Huh?”  Though Kara looked at Liz, her mind still dwelled on Remy and Jace.

“You’re looking at them like you know them.”

“Well, I know her.  That’s Remy Renee.  She’s a friend and-”  With those words, Kara’s attention returned to her friend and her date.  Her frown deepened as she zeroed in on Remy’s purple aura and Jace’s blue one.

“Our client, Remy Renee?  Urbane’s owner?  Is she dating him?”  Liz’s surprise was evident in her voice.

With no small effort, Kara pried her eyes from Remy and Jace and cast them upon Liz, whose aura was as purple as her own.  Hiring blue coven aurals was a definite no-no as far as Kara was concerned.  It would never happen while she was at the helm of her company.  “It sure looks like it, doesn’t it?  I would never have believed she’d do something like this.”

“I know that’s right.”  Liz was a definite yes-woman and always agreed with her boss, no matter the subject.  “I could never date a blue coven guy.  They just don’t do a thing for me.”

“I know what you mean, girl.”  Kara nodded, emphasizing her agreement.  “I really hate what Remy is doing, and I think it’s time I do something about it.”
