They both laugh. “You’re safe,” Masters tells me just as our breakfast arrives.

We all thank the waitress when she puts our meals in front of us.

My nerves temper a little. “You reckon it’s okay?”

“I know it is.” He takes a bite. “Hormones turn women into the devil. Death threats definitely qualify.”

“Right,” Seb mutters.

“Good, good,” I mutter under my breath, and I drag a hand down my face. “What a fucking morning,” I huff. “Best sex ever followed by a complete freak out in the elevator.”

They both chuckle. “You didn’t even realise what you’d done until after?”

“Nope.” I shake my head. “I’m slipping, man.”

Seb giggles. “It’s a good thing you’re off the market. You’re getting sloppy, Spence.”

“Or perhaps just happy.” Masters smirks, cutting through his toast. “Children with the woman you love are a blessing.”

I exhale heavily as the scotch begins to warm my blood. “How is my breezer?” I ask.

“Huge.” Masters smiles. “Fucking beautiful.”

“How long have we got?”

“A few weeks or so.”

“Tell her to keep her legs crossed until I get back from this weekend.”

“Why, where are you going?”

“Greece.”

“I take it this thing with Charlotte is going really well then.” Masters smiles.

I shrug as I chew. “I asked her to move in with me.”

Seb’s fork hits the plate with a clang, and they both stare up at me, shocked.

“Are you joking right now?” Masters frowns.

“No, why?” I ask, surprised by their reaction.

“You’ve known her for six weeks.”

“I know, and in such a short time I’ve become completely pathetic. I can’t stand a night away from her. Her idiot brother came to my office and warned me away from her. On top of that, Sheridan threatened to pull the account from me if I refuse to keep seeing her.”

“What?”

“Yeah, get this. Sheridan comes to my work when I was on the phone… to you, actually, Seb.” I take a sip of my scotch. “She drops to her knees on the carpet and tries to give me a head job while I’m on the phone.”

Seb frowns as he chews. “When the hell was this?”

“The other day, when you called me about the mattress. So, she’s on her knees, and she tells me she loves me. Then she starts crying and shit. All this is going down the exact same time the receptionist buzzes through to tell me Edward Prescott is there to see me.”

Masters chuckles and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Only fucking you, Spence. You have the best stories.”

I roll my eyes. “Then I get rid of Sheridan with the promise of having dinner to discuss our relationship. Edward waltzes in and proceeds to tell me that fucking Alexander York has been spinning tales to him about Charlotte and I being together—”

“Well, it is true,” Seb interrupts. “So, it’s not really a tale.”

“What did you do?” Masters frowns.

“He’s so fucking arrogant.” I shake my head. “We instantly despised one another. In the end, I kicked him out of my office.”

“Jesus Christ,” Masters mutters. “You don’t do that shit to the future in-laws, Spence.”

“Yeah, well, what am I supposed to do? I’m not putting up with his entitled shit. He doesn’t give a fuck about Charlotte, and unfortunately for him, I do.” I take an angry bite of my breakfast. “You know what pisses me off the most about the cockhead? He flew here yesterday from wherever the fuck he was, and he didn’t even call Charlotte to see how she was doing.” They both frown.

“He doesn’t give a fuck about her feelings or wellbeing. All he cares about is his fucking self.” I chew my food as my anger begins to rise. “I mean, who the hell does he think he is? He doesn’t fucking control her. How dare he even think that he does.” I put my hand up for another drink.

Masters looks down at my two empty scotch glasses. “Are you working today?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re going to work drunk?” Seb asks carefully.

“Looks like it!”

“What did Charlotte want to bury you for?”

“Oh.” I throw my hands up in disgust. “That’s a whole other story. Sheridan wanted me to have dinner with her to discuss our relationship. I said yes just to get her out of my office because Edward was in the waiting room. Last night, I told Charlotte and she lost her ever loving shit over it. Like, she went full mode crazy bitch on me, saying it’s her or Sheridan from now on.”

They both smile at me.

“Not funny. Then I had to go to Sheridan and tell her that I wasn’t able to see her. That’s when she pulled the whole, if you won’t see me, how are we supposed to work together bullshit? Maybe I need to find another steel company to do business with.”

Their faces drop. “How much is her contract worth to you?”

I pinch the bridge of my nose. “Fucking millions. But I don’t care, she’s not blackmailing me into being with her.”
