As Adam and his ranch hand were unloading the bull, Adam whistled.
“What?” I said, hoping I didn’t just make a huge mistake.
“William’s got an eye for animals, I’ll say that.”
“Why? What’s awesome?”
“Look at this little guy. Good stock. I might have to get a free stud visit for helping secure him.” Adam grinned. Always the business man.
“Um. Okay. I’ll give him food and everything, then I need to get home and wipe the disgusting memories from my mind from that creepy old Wyatt.”
“You are a hell-uv-a negotiator, Jessica.”
Adam laughed. “Maybe. I’ll admit to that, I guess. I might gotta take you along next time I need some cattle.”
“You might gotta?” I shook my head at him.
“You didn’t even see her hard ball, either,” Lump said with a smile. “She was trying to play a weepy role, but when she really wants something, stand back! I have seen her argue for a leather jacket in Mexico for half an hour, walking away with the best price of the day.”
“Of the day? Try century!” I acted like I was cleaning the dirt off my shoulders.
“You sure got a good price,” Adam said with a smile. “What are you going to do with your remaining $500?”
I hadn’t realized he knew how much cash I had. “Put it in the bank until it’s time to hand it over to you...” My voice was matter-of-fact. “Easy come, easy go.”
I punched him in the arm and he laughed as he moved away from me.
“Alright, git to work!” Adam said with a whoop. “High-heels ‘n all. You gotta get that bull situated before you leave here.”
“Yes sir,” I saluted.
Lump smiled and followed me, unbuttoning her pants so she had some breathing room.
