Zach studied Brandi and she wondered what expression she had on her face. He looked concerned. “Promise me that you won’t do anything rash, Brandi.”

She sighed. She didn’t have a plan at this point, but she wasn’t going to just let the men take care of things. She was a grown woman who could take care of herself. “I won’t.”

She only agreed because she hadn’t thought of a plan yet. Zach’s gaze remained on her. “What?”

“Brandi, I’m serious. They ran me off the road. They are in this to win it and I don’t need to worry about you also.”

She crossed her arms. “You don’t need to worry about me at all. I’m not your responsibility.”

“I disagree. The moment you stepped into my office you became my responsibility. You didn’t mean to and you didn’t know, but you are.”

That didn’t sit well with Brandi, but she also didn’t want to argue. He was kind of hot when he was being protective. Zach pushed back from his desk. “I have an idea.”

“What?” she asked.

“Let’s take the day off.”

“Wouldn’t that be the second one this week?”
