“Security team?”
“They came in with these three.” She indicates her partners. “Pa insisted.”
“Okay. Are they coming with us to my place too?”
She nods. “They will. They’ll station themselves around the entrances to your building until we’re ready to go.”
“I heard we’re getting hitched then going hunting for a hot shot.”
Oakley looks at Blake. “You found him?”
“No. But my brothers are working on it and I think this guy”—she thumbs in my direction—“might have a few ideas of where to look too.”
“If you give me a name…”
“Not here.” Oakley’s phone beeps and she looks at the screen. “Let’s go.”
Opening the door for the women, I see a couple of men in dark suits waiting. They couldn’t look any more security if they had the word tattooed on their foreheads.
If we’re going for discreet, we’ve failed before we get out of the building. If we’re going for masculine power and stay-back vibes, we’ve got that shit down.
But then I think about the women I’m with and the amount of money they’re worth.
I’m surrounded by billions in human form.
The enormity of their wealth hits me.
I’m no chump when it comes to money, but these four women have me beat hands down.
Some men might be intimidated by the success surrounding me. Me? I love it.
I know they were all born with wealth, but each of them has shown their worth by founding a globally successful brand worth billions in its own right.
Yeah, intimidated isn’t what I’m feeling.
It’s awe.
They could have used their trust funds to live a cushy life. Instead, they used a small amount each to build an empire.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Rogue sportswear is worth more than their trust funds combined.
“Hey, what are you thinking about?”
“How in awe I am of you four.”
“Really?”
“Yes. And back there you proved why you’re so successful.”
She arches an eyebrow at me.
“You didn’t flinch when the shit hit the fan. You just got down to work to clean it up and you did it in a way that left no one looking like an idiot.”
“I’m pretty sure they felt like idiots.”
“Well, yeah, but that’s because you revealed the mistress of one is sleeping with the wife of the other. As well as Cantrell.”
“They were not happy when I gave them that information.”
