“Ah, yes. That mall is about to get finished in a month.”
“The prices of lots in that area are on the rise at the moment,” Tom, the other real estate agent, said. “By the time we finish with the construction, it would be perfect to sell it. The prices could reach their all-time high.”
Grant chuckled. “Perfect. Man, we are the winners. This hotel is going to bring us a lot too,” Grant grinned and emptied his glass in one gulp.
“And there is nothing better than money, right?” Bradley asked, stretching his legs in his chair.
“Well, if you asked me this before, I would say yes, but now I have to say you are wrong. My Madison is the best.”
I rolled my eyes again and shook my head. Madison Layne was Grant’s wife. They had met when she came here to work as an extra help for that hospital project we’d been doing for HealthUp. She was a beautiful, petite blonde and she’d proved to be a good worker—smart, skilled, and diligent. Soon after they met, they started dating, and I had to admit they were perfect for each other.
Now they were madly in love, and I couldn’t help but notice that Grant was a changed man. Literally. He had eyes for Madison only and they couldn’t take their hands off each other. For someone who had been obsessed with work, Grant surely didn’t stick with that obsession anymore. Now he had a new one.
“How is Madison these days?”
Madison was about to give birth to their first child, and she was currently on her maternity leave. Recently, all Grant liked to talk about was his wife and their unborn son. I already learned everything there was about the child delivery methods and breathing techniques during labor. Grant was very nervous and too worried for his wife these last few weeks.
“She is good. She is a bit tense, because her due date is approaching, but so far everything is going well.”
“Good. I can’t wait to see Grant junior.”
Grant’s smile became wider. “Me either, man.”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and my assistant stepped into the board room.
“I am sorry to interrupt your meeting, Mr. Talon, but there is someone who came here to discuss the recent hotel you purchased.”
I raised my eyebrows, wondering who they might be and what they wanted. “Okay. Send them in.”
She nodded. “Yes, sir.”
“Hm, someone is here already?” Grant remarked, looking at me curiously.
I leaned against the table and crossed my fingers together. The next moment, the door opened again and a gorgeous brunette walked in. It took me a second to recognize her as the woman I’d run into at the hotel, and my whole body tensed.
Today she was wearing a grey suit, which looked serious and strict as the previous one, but it also hugged her body too tightly, revealing just how sexy she was. She wasn’t wearing any stockings, and my mouth became dry from just watching those long legs. My cock twitched, suddenly becoming harder.
I had a hard time believing this. What was she doing here?
After that day, I would occasionally think about her, despite my efforts to let it go. Her pretty heart-shaped face and striking green eyes had been popping up in my mind when I least expected it, and yes, I even imagined her mouth on my cock several times. I didn’t lie when I said her mouth was good for that.
She was holding her briefcase in her hand, which reminded me that she was one of those bidders. She surely wanted to come here and protest about me getting that building.
I curled my fists, irritated with my reaction to her. I forced myself to forget how beautiful she was. She was my rival.
Her eyes finally moved from Grant and our real estate team to me, and she visibly tensed, her eyes growing larger when she noticed me in the room.
“You!” she blurted out, suddenly becoming pale.
I raised one eyebrow. “Me.”
Soon anger replaced her shock, and she became rigid. “What are you doing here?”
I opened my mouth to answer, but suddenly my mind went blank. My eyes went down her body again, and I couldn’t stop staring. There was something attractive about the way she kept her posture now. This was weird, because usually I wasn’t attracted to such serious chicks as she was, but she was different. My cock grew even harder and the next moment I felt too hot.
“I am one of the people who own this place.”
She blinked several times and her lips parted in surprise. “What?”
