“Wow. What about the dogs?”
“They brought the dogs to her.” Robin smiled, though it was tinged with sadness.
All this time and they could have been friends. She could have had a mother in Saaina. At the same time, Robin understood and was grateful to Saaina for the choices she’d made. Robin wished her the best wherever she wound up.
“So, what are you going to do? Wait, does this mean you’re majority shareholder now?”
Robin nodded slowly. “Yup. I think my plans to launch my career are on the back-burner.”
Jessica snorted. “You do know you’re a lucky bitch who never has to work a day in her life, right?”
“That’s rich coming from you.”
“Yeah, I’m rich, but you’re like, filthy rich.” Jessica reclined back on the bed. “Good. I think your mom would like knowing you ended up with everything.”
Robin wasn’t yet sure what she thought or felt. Deep down, she wasn’t upset about not moving forward with her career as much as she disliked her power of choice being taken from her. Then again, she could always wash her hands of it all.
But what about Mom’s legacy?
Dad had tarnished it to some extent and because of his decisions; Robin had been shut out of her mother’s company. But with him gone, there were options again.
The world needed a champion like Mom again, but Robin wasn’t sure she could do what Mom had.
“Knock, knock, bitches.”
“It’s the pocket girl,” Jessica called out.
Kelsey laughed as she ambled in with another woman at her side. This one had a wrist-thick braid of black hair draped over one shoulder and a shy smile.
Kelsey wagged a finger at Jessica. “I’m only letting you call me that because you’re a badass.”
Jessica blinked at her several times processing those words. “Who me?”
“Who me?” Kelsey pressed her hand to her chest and batted her eyelashes at Jessica. “Yeah, you. Any woman who takes a literal bullet for their friend gets a pass from me.”
Robin shifted in her seat as the guilt set in. Those bullets had been meant for her.
“How’s she doing?” Kelsey asked, directing the question at Robin.
“Good. They just gave her pain meds, so she’s, you know…”
“Oh.” Kelsey’s brows rose. “She’s about to get real fun.”
Robin nodded. “Real fun.”
“This is going to be great.” Kelsey grinned at the other woman. “This is Diha Balakrishnan, for now. She’s going to be Green soon.”
Diha swatted Kelsey’s arm. “Not for a while.”
“We’ll see what Miles has to say about that.” She winked at Robin. “She’s been super curious about you.”
She froze. “Me?”
“Kelsey,” Diha hissed then glanced at Robin. “Don’t mind her.”
Kelsey rolled her eyes. “What? We’re going to stand here for half an hour shooting the shit, might as well cut to the chase.”
“Cut to the chase on what?” Robin asked.
