Fuck.
That was ridiculous and far-fetched.
What the hell is wrong with me today?
Silence greets me on the other end.
Let’s hope she didn’t hear that slip of the tongue.
“Play your father at his own game,” Nads says after several breaths.
“I don’t understand.”
“Instead of an internship at a PR agency in New York, ditch the Big Apple. California dreaming, baby. You need to make it your mission to find a publicity firm in LA.”
She heard me after all.
“Given what you’ve told me about the sisterhood, the influential people who are part of Gage’s inner circle, and the brooding billionaire himself, I’m sure it would be easy for you to land a job.”
Do I have the courage to pull the rug from under my father’s feet?
“Gage Hollingsworth is a gorgeous, strong man who desperately needs to be loved, and you, Lily Schuyler, are the perfect woman for the job.”
My heart is beating out of my chest.
Chapter 36
Lily
There’s a knock at the door, and I run to it.
When I swing it open, a sexy as fuck man I haven’t seen since yesterday afternoon stares down at me.
Dear God, he’s devastatingly handsome.
I take him in.
His silky brown hair is mussed—probably from running his fingers through the strands—and a day’s worth of scruffgraces his gorgeous face.
I allow my gaze to roam up and down his tall frame.
More suit porn.
He’s wearing a gray suit with a delicate checkered pattern, paired with a pale pink shirt, sans tie, with the first couple buttons undone.
I approve.
He steps into the hotel suite and closes the door behind him, causing notes of his expensive cologne to linger in the air. I’m tempted to lean into him and give him a sniff, but I resist. Barely.
“Keep looking at me like that, and we won’t make it to theQuintus Hotel without me fucking you against every wall of this suite.”
I wouldn’t mind making up for lost time.
I cock an eyebrow and tap a finger against my chin. “Hmmm… Decisions, decisions.”
“You little tease.”
I tilt my head back and laugh.
