CHAPTER FIFTEEN

WHATTHEHELLwas Teo doing at the office? Had he found her—Savannah? Or had he just been arriving for a flight?

If he’d booked one, though, she would have known; Grant would have told her, especially given the meltdown she’d had over Teo. That must have been why her brother had shouted at her to get the hell out of there. Unless he’d been shouting at Teo?

Their conversation had sounded intense. Maybe Teo had figured out who she really was.

With Grant yelling and Teo heading into the hall, she’d been so overwhelmed that she’d dashed out to her car. But once she got into her Mini Cooper, she didn’t drive very far from the office. A short distance away from the hangar, she pulled off the road and pulled her cell phone from her purse. Then, trembling slightly, she punched in a contact.

“Liaisons International,” a melodic voice answered.

“Hello, Tabitha?” she replied with surprise. “I thought you were doing a play in New York right now. Are the calls being transferred to you?” Miranda had told her that her sisters had gone into the business with her, but it seemed like Miranda was the only one working. Which was the same way it had seemed when they were all younger.

“No, I transferred here,” Tabitha replied. “I got fired.”

Blair smiled. Even as a little girl, Tabitha had always been very blunt and honest, which was probably the reason she’d been fired. “I’m sorry to hear that.”

“It was for the best,” Tabitha replied with her usual optimism. “I probably would have gone to jail for killing the director if he hadn’t fired me first. He was even more of a control freak than Miranda is.”

“Speaking of Miranda, is she available?”

“Of course she is,” Tabitha replied. “She has this crazy rule that we can’t use the service ourselves, so she doesn’t ever meet anyone. A single matchmaker—Mother would turn over in her grave.”

“Your mother is alive,” Blair reminded her.

She sighed. “Not to us. Or I should say, we’re not alive to her. She disowned us all for never getting married.”

Blair laughed.

“No, I’m serious,” Tabitha said. “It’s an embarrassment to her. She only sold us the business because she thought we’d use it to find husbands like she did.”

“Is she married now?”

“Yeah, and happily for once,” Tabitha said. “I think that’s why she’s so pissed at us for not getting hitched. That and she loves weddings.”

“Then it’s a good thing she had so many herself,” Blair said.

“That’s what Miranda said.”

“I’d like to talk to Miranda,” Blair tried again. “If she isn’t busy...”

“She’s just working, as usual,” Tabitha replied. “Now if she was smart, she’d date that Italian billionaire that keeps calling for her.”

A pang struck Blair’s heart.

“Although he seems kind of hung up on some woman named Savannah.” Tabitha chuckled. “I bet I could make him forget all about her, if Miranda would let me.”

Teo would appreciate Tabitha’s honesty, especially after dealing with Savannah’s secrecy.

“Try to talk her into it for me,” the younger woman urged. “I’ll get her for you.”

After a series of clicks, Miranda picked up with a harried-sounding hello.

“Are you okay?” Blair asked.

“Yeah, yeah, justlovehaving my youngest sister working here,” she replied with heavy sarcasm.

“At least she’s working.” Which, being an actress and not a very good one, was something Tabitha rarely did.
