the house alone. No
cameras on the concrete.”
    “The area is completely unprotected.” His arm waved up in
the air. “You have a lot windows and doors that are easily accessible.”
    “I don’t allow cameras over the pool area. I never have and
I never will.”
    There was no missing his gaze dropping a moment and then
going back up. “A patio that wide is a vulnerable area. I was hired to see to
your protection and you are limiting my abilities.”
    “Work around it.” She straightened her papers. This wasn’t
an agreement he would win. “The pool is a personal, private area, and I don’t
want to be filmed at your office.”
    He crossed his arms over his chest, and a brow lifted.
Irritation was riding high, if she was to guess what that stance was supposed
to mean. “My staff is well vetted and sign confidentially clauses. If you’re
concerned about photos of you in a swimsuit landing in the Melville Magnolia
Weekly , it’s not going to happen.”
    Pictures of her in a swimsuit in the local society newspaper
wouldn’t be ideal. However, pictures of her naked when she swam and laid out,
not a chance. “I will have my privacy.”
    “I can set up a remote location here. You would have
security on on site. The cameras would feed directly here and nothing more. Completely
locked down and in your control. Someone on staff twenty-four hours a day to
monitor.”
    Appealing, because video would be easily contained just in
case, but no thanks. Extra people paid to watch her property twenty-four-seven
wasn’t going to happen, either. “Nothing on the pool area, Addison. That’s
final. Set your cameras to pick up each spot off the concrete, but nothing
else. I refuse it.”
    The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile, but his eyes
remained tight. “You say that like you do dirty things when no one is looking.”
    She leaned toward him on the desk. She wasn’t afraid. “Maybe
I do.”
    He shook his head. “I want more cameras inside too.”
    Extra cameras in her home weren’t happening. “No.”
    “Just on the front door is not safe.”
    “My privacy will not be compromised.”
    “Not even for the sake of your safety?”
    With her heart pounding a little faster, she had to admit,
she did like him. Even though he was being a pain in her backside at the
moment, he did get her excited. Other people caved to what she wanted far too
easily. “If you’re good at what you do, the outside will be secured while
working around my privacy needs, rendering the inside unnecessary.”
    He pointed to the floor. “What about in here?”
    “In my office?” Where Julia had opened the box with the
dagger in it just yesterday?
    “Yes. You probably have a lot of information in it. This
room is a target.”
    This room was off limits to spying cameras. Not that she did
contract work in here. That stuff happened in the hidden room upstairs, but
this was still just her space. Cameras in this room were out of the question.
She devoted most of her life to being in front of the cameras to be what everyone
wanted out of her. She wasn’t giving up the privacy she had within her own home,
too. “No.”
    “Your safe is in here.” He crossed his arms over his chest
and looked as serious as he could be.
    She walked to the smaller room next to her desk and opened
the door. It was just her safe and a few office supplies. The door was opened
maybe once every two weeks by Julia. Lexie would give him this and let him
think he won this round. “You can put a camera in here, on the safe. Don’t face
it at all on my office. You can also mount a camera directly outside my window.
Either looking out or looking at an angle off the window, but it doesn’t look
inside.”
    “But—”
    “No buts.” Anger pooled in her belly, but she’d covered her
emotions up so much that he wouldn’t know. “That’s it. I have secure
information in my office at times from Olympia Organization, and I don’t want
it viewed.” She crossed her arms
