I’ve done the math and I think I can manage it inside a few years.”“Dad ought to fair grant it to you. It’s the slightest he owes you.”“That’s not what I need either. I need you to deliver me a work, Lucian.” He chuckled. “Really?”“Yes. I’d like something in Human Assets, but I’ll take anything you can offer.”

At lunch he’d been devoured with interest approximately what she’d been approximately to say. He hadn’t tasted a single nibble of his food.The assembly was anticipated to be long, but at the minute he didn’t deliver a damn approximately the future of Lucian’s company. He as it were cared around the four a long time he’d missed.Who had she been with? What had she done? Did she think of him as regularly as he thought around her? He needed to kick everybody out and fuck her right on the conference table—erase any memory she might have of somebody else.She looked extraordinary. Her hair was shorter and her eyes a bit wiser.He’d overlooked how excellent she really was.The minute he saw her in the lobby, his whole framework took a hit. A long time of telling himself he’d done the right thing flushed down the deplete after one see of her. He was a fucking moron for let
