Gini Roberge

D is for Della Gini Roberge

Third in the Alpha Ladies SeriesSECOND EDITION"I like your red lace panties today." My blood ran cold and I suddenly started shivering. The eyes behind the camera bored into my back. My dreams are coming true. Within a year of buying an advertising agency, I'm pitching a job that could put the company on the map. Just before the meeting, I receive a mysterious note that indicates I'm being watched in my own home. It's terrifying enough to make me call one of my best friends for help. It leads to danger and romance. Book 3 Excerpt"I'm going to call you in twenty minutes and ask which dress you said I could borrow," Eva said. "If someone is listening or watching your dressing room or apartment then that will give me a reason for being there. I will be sweeping for any listening or video device while I am there.""OK," I said nervously. "Did you call the police?""No, you didn't want them involved because of the business. I understand that so we'll keep it as contained as we can. I got you, Della." She said firmly."I know, but I feel so violated...sick to my stomach." "No one is going to hurt you on my watch, Love." "I keep thinking of Caddie and what she went through. I don't even want to go to my car." "Vince is on his way to check out your car. Just stay in your office until he gets to you there.""Is he literally coming to my office or just to the garage?""He will come to your office if your car is clear and walk you to the garage.""Eva, am I overreacting?" I was near tears as I stared out the window. "Did you put the note in your laptop?""Of course not.""Then you're not overreacting. I'll call you in a few minutes, Della." "Thanks, Eva."I ended the call and continued to stare out the window. I heard a tap on my door but didn't turn. Jillian and Eric would be the only ones to tap and if I didn't respond they would guard the door and wouldn't let anyone disturb me. I stared and waited for her call. It seemed like forever before my phone chimed. "Eva?""Which dress did you say I could borrow?""Any damn dress you want," I tried to laugh but it came out more of a sob. "I like the blue one," She said with a very calming voice. "Did you find anything?" I closed my eyes to hold in the tears that had suddenly risen. "Yes, Love, the blue one it is.""Oh, Eva..." The tears started to roll down my cheeks. I've always been a strong person but the thought of someone watching me in my own home was too much.
