“Whatever,” I growled as I walked out of the room.
I left for the office and didn’t say goodbye to her. I was so angry that she was making me do this shit. Picking up my phone from my desk, I called my friend and realtor, Grant Roman.”
“Charlie, my friend. Don’t tell me you’re looking to move already.” He chuckled.
“No.” I laughed. “Actually, I wanted to know if you’re at the office. I need to stop by and talk to you about something.”
“I am. Are you on your way now?”
“Yeah. I can be there in about fifteen minutes.”
“Perfect. I’ll see you then.”
After Mateo dropped me off, I took the elevator to Grant’s office.
“It’s good to see you again, Charlie.” We lightly hugged.
“Good to see you too, Grant.”
“Have a seat. What can I do for you?”
“I need you to find an apartment for a woman I know.”
“Okay. What type of apartment are you looking for?”
“At least a three-bedroom,” I said.
“Buying or renting?”
“I’ll buy it.”
“May I ask who this woman is?”
I ran my hand down my face and sighed. “She’s a woman I got pregnant. She’s having twins.”
“I’m not sure if I should congratulate you or not by the sound of your voice.”
“You can save it. Anyway, she took it upon herself to move into my penthouse, and I can’t have her there.”
“Why?” His brows furrowed.
“It’s complicated, Grant.”
“Okay. I’ll start looking right away. Does she know you’re doing this?”
“No. I’ll tell her tonight.”
“Charlie, I?—”
“Don’t, Grant.” I held up my hand. “I get enough lectures from Chase.”
I had Mateo pick Marley up at the penthouse before picking me up from the office and heading to her father’s house. This was the last thing I wanted to do, but I had no choice.
“Hey,” I said, climbing into the backseat of the sedan.
“Hi.” Marley smiled. “How was your day?”
“It was okay.” I pulled out my phone and looked over some new emails.
