“Well, well,” Gabriele said. He sounded even more pleased than before. “Looks like this kitten has claws.”
I met his eyes this time and let him see in them how furious I was. I wasn’t going to let anybody intimidate Maria, not when she’d worked so hard to keep this shelter running. And I wasn’t about to let anybody dismiss our work as worthless just because they couldn’t squeeze it for every dollar they could.
Gabriele’s gaze raked over me again. “I’m afraid I’ll have to talk to my boss about… whether this shelter is worth the upkeep.” He shrugged. “But I’m sure we’ll find plenty of reasons to meet again. Gina, was it?”
I didn’t give him a response.
Gabriele and his men swept back out the door. Only then did I let out the breath I was holding.
Maria crossed over to me. “You are playing with fire!” she hissed. “He has an interest in you now. There is nothing more dangerous than that. Men like him don’t like to be told no!”
I nodded, not trusting myself to speak just yet. My heart was pounding.
It looked like I’d gotten involved with a bad boy again. And this one might have been even more trouble than Vincent.
