Sebastian took in my raised brow, a clear challenge. “Fine.” His teeth clanked as he locked his jaw, moving it from side to side. “Come tomorrow.”
“Thank you.” I reached out and planted a feathery kiss on his right cheek. “We’ll have fun.”
“Highly doubt it.”
I shouted behind me, already running down the corridor with the pups. “Yes, we will.”
“Bring the dogs,” he muttered.
And just like that, my heart cracked open, and a little sunshine poured in.
Chapter Thirty-Four
Oliver
Romeo Costa:So. Dinner went well.
Zach Sun:If by well you mean the bottom of one, then yeah. Super well.
Ollie vB:Now all that’s left is for Dallas to do her part.
Zach Sun:Relying on Dallas to do anything is only slightly less risky than relying on Nixon with the keys to a loaded vault.
Romeo Costa:Speaking of my wife, I just came back from the McLaren dealership. Got Dallas cars in twelve different shades so she’ll always match her outfits.
Zach Sun:Did the same for Farrow yesterday, but with Pagani.
Romeo Costa:This is not a dick-measuring contest, Zach.
Ollie vB:Obviously. Ya’ll know I’d win. No contest.
Ollie vB:So, why are you telling us this?
Romeo Costa:Glad you asked. Because at the dealership, I overheard a conversation between two gentlemen, who swore up and down that you’re a member of the Grand Regent board.
Zach Sun:Care to comment on this?
Ollie vB:My father sometimes sends me to remind his employees that things can get much, much worse if I take over.
Romeo Costa:See, I considered this. But the same gentleman insisted to me that you’re coherent, levelheaded, and shockingly good at what you do.
Ollie vB:Are you sure this was a McLaren dealership and not a rehab? Day drinking is not THAT common.
Zach Sun:Are you hiding the fact that you’re smart from us, Oliver?
Ollie vB:Negatory.
Ollie vB:I mean … Nagatury.
Zach Sun:I always suspected you were smart.
Romeo Costa:Your story about returning from summer vacation with a partial lobotomy that docked your IQ never made sense.
Zach Sun:Your investment portfolio is solid.
Romeo Costa:And you speak four languages.
Zach Sun:And you’re an ATP-certified pilot.
