Drake's gaze flicked to Debra. The blouse she'd worn earlier that morning was now in shreds.
"Harland," Drake said without turning, "bring her a dress."
"Right away, sir." Harland scurried out of the room.
Debra instinctively stepped back as Drake moved toward her.
"What do you want?"
"Your clothes are ruined."
"I'll replace them."
"The top costs six thousand dollars. Cash or card?"
She gaped, realizing she had no money or phone.
She muttered, "I'll pay you back later."
Drake snorted, clearly unimpressed.
Breaking the tension, Debra said, "There's a hidden passage beneath that boutique you took me to. Care to explain what that's all about?"
Drake remained silent, his expression inscrutable.
Debra pressed further. "I fell through that trap door and was knocked out. When I woke up, I was here. You owe me an explanation."
"I owe you nothing," Drake snorted. "Keep your nose out of things that don't concern you. Or..."
"Or what?" she challenged.
His lips curled into a cold smile. "Or I'll feed you to the dogs."
The threat was so absurd it almost sounded childish. Debra scoffed, "You're really scared of Miss Sharp, aren't you?"
