“Yeah. I’m just watching a movie. What’s up?”
“I’m going to run out for a while. Are you going to be okay?”
“I’m fine, Lucas.” She smiled. “Go have some fun and celebrate.”
“Can I get you anything before I go?”
“No. I’m good for now.”
“Okay. Good night.”
When I arrivedat the club, I found Danny sitting in his office going over receipts.
“Hey, you.” He grinned. “What are you doing here?”
“Just dropped by for a visit. I need to talk to you.”
“Okay. Let’s go grab a drink and sit at my special table.”
I followed him out of his office, and he told one of the waitresses to grab two scotches and bring them over to his table.
“What’s going on, man?” he asked as we sat down.
“The coding is done and works perfectly. I’m meeting with Giles Holloway tomorrow to finalize everything.”
“All right, my man!” He grinned as he held up his hand for a high-five. “How did you do it? Did it just click or what?”
“Actually, I didn’t do it.”
The waitress walked over and set our drinks down in front of us.
“What? What do you mean?” His brows furrowed.
“Jenna figured it out, rewrote the program, and gave it to me.” I sipped my drink.
“Jenna? As in your baby momma with the broken foot, who’s staying at your penthouse?”
“Yep.”
He let out a laugh. “Dude, what is she a genius or something?”
“Yeah. She is.” I spoke with seriousness.
The laughter from his face fell as he stared at me.
“You’re serious, aren’t you?”
“Yes. I am. Danny, she has an IQ of 165, and she has two degrees from M.I.T.”
“Damn, bro.” He shook his head. “Then why is she staying with you?”
“Long story short, she doesn’t like being a genius and wants to live a simple life.”
“Genius problems.” He rolled his eyes. “I wish I had those kinds of problems.”
“I told her tonight that I could help her out financially, but I wasn’t ready to be a father.”
“Shit. What did she say?” He kicked back his drink.
