Losing my job was one thing, but being considered some kind of criminal was entirely another. I wiped my mouth on the sleeve of my ugly uniform. It didn't matter; I wasn't going to need it any longer apparently. Before I got back in the car, I threw a gesture at the big and ugly gate. His expression still didn't change, but it made me feel a little better nonetheless. ALEXANDER's POV I stood in my bedroom and watched what was going on down at the gates on the security monitors. I could see the stricken look on Vicki's face and God help me all I wanted to do was call down there and tell her there had been a terrible mistake and they should let her through. I didn't though. Like a coward, I watched a stranger tell her that she was not only fired, but banned from the estate.
