Boss Quote by Kay Hooper
““I'm not hovering. I just thought you might be interested in knowing that Nell's boss is here." Max stopped typing. "Bishop?" "Yep." "What's he doing here?" "Apparently just finished up another investigation in Chicago.""So what's he doing here?" Ethan grinned. "I'm trying to make out whether you consider him a rival or just somebody who's going to spirit Nell back to Virginia.””
