Sing hard as he reached the top of the stairs, he turned the corner into the hallway just in ti for the elevator The second Rodriguez saw hi a few steps away from the closed elevator doors

"Sir, I can explain"

"Yes, you can and you will," Brandon said, his tone hard and full of authority just as he’d been trained by the very best "Only not here, not like this" He got right in Rodriguez’s face "I want a full report on nored a direct order fro to her about when you’ve been instructed to stay away from her entirely And also want you tell me why the hell I shouldn’t write you up"

The elevator door opened, and Ms Brady stepped out, staring at the to , not even acknowledging her They waited silently until she was out of sight "I don’t norive second chances, so consider yourself lucky"

"Sir, yes, sir"

Brandon took two long steps into the still-open elevator and turned around to face Rodriguez, isely didn’t dare step in with hiuez," Brandon repeated the order through his teeth

"Sir, yes, sir," Rodriguez said just as Brandon hit the close button, and the elevator doors closed, leaving a very staggered-looking Rodriguez outside

This was corasp on what she was beginning to do to hinored a direct order was reason enough to piss Brandon off, but he shouldn’t be getting this worked up over it

The elevator doors opened, and he stepped out still feeling incredibly agitated as he walked out toward the front door of the building Would he really write Rodriguez up if his report wasn’t satisfactory or worse if he stupidly aduez’s remarks about what he’d do to her in the bathroom slammed into him

Pushing the front doors open with a little s Not only would Brandon write his ass up but he’d get the perverted assle transferred to another fking base

Second conclusion? Asto hi, Rodriguez’s report was on Brandon’s desk when he arrived, though Rodriguez hi evaluations of his own all week He was glad for that He’d spent too ht be in the report, what heto do with Brandon knew he’d be scrutinizing the report a little closer than noruez wasn’t there to witness it

Along with the report was a letter of apology to Brandon for having disrespected hiuez made it clear it was not his intention The report stated that Ms Brady had ether He went on to outline the conversation about the change in the weather and how Rodriguez felt it rude to just ignore her so he carried on with the harmless conversation

Brandon rolled his eyes He’d seen the playful sh to see the exchange between hiuez, Ms Brady had likely ht," and he’d run with it

Skih the rest of the report, Brandon stopped only at the parts that caught his eye such as Ms Brady saying she’d take this weather any day over the weather back east where she’d justto her phone conversation with her daddy, it appeared she had family out here, so he’d assueant Carter had alsoseen her here before, so there was the possibility she was only here teood

Brandon frowned iht eyes, if it weren’t for Rodriguez’s last name, you’d never knoas Hispanic He’d even made rew up in teased hi the whitest Mexican they knew Brandon re it to his advantage when trying to pick up wo to them in his perfect Spanish out of the blue

Apparently, the idiot didn’t count on Brandon reo, because in his report he included the part about answering one of her questions in Spanish However, he wasn’t stupid enough to ht after cal down, Brandon had no doubt he’d overreacted He was evenridiculous If he wanted nothing to do with Ms Brady, then why the hell did he care about seeing her with so the lad he had reacted the way he had If Rodriguez hadn’t blown Ms Brady away yesterday, Brandon doubted that after his nearly explosive reaction Rodriguez would be looking for another chance to i hi how he’d actually looked up the name Brady to make sure it in no way had any Hispanic ties She’d made it clear that she was a Ms, not a Mrs ThatEither she was part Hispanic and her father had Irish roots, which seeiven her looks, or she’d previously been married to a Brady If it was the latter, then unlike with Sofie and Eric, Rodriguez or any other Hispanic guy shouldn’t have a cultural advantage over Brandon about getting a girl like Ms Brady, especially guys like Rodriguez using his Spanish to try and impress her If she’d married out of her culture before, obviously it didn’t matter to her
