“Don’t answer any questions,” Spencer said.
Andrew shot him an offended glance. “As if I even had the answers.”
“Thanks,” Spencer said as he led Coda into the lobby. “Are you okay?”
“Perfect. That was kind of exciting.”
“Exciting?” He shook his head over her innocence.
“Mr. Cannon,” a tall, well-dressed man said as he approached them. “I’m Nick Barrone, the manager of Winston Estate. Welcome.”
“Nice to meet you, Nick.” Spencer nodded toward the entrance. “It seems you have a minor security problem.”
“I apologize. Someone leaked the location about an hour ago and now they’re all flocking here. Such vultures. We’re having it taken care of.”
“My driver is retrieving our bags. This is Ms. Vercelli, she’ll be accompanying me this weekend.”
“Wonderful, if there is anything I can do for either of you please don’t hesitate to ask. Your room is ready. You can pick up your packet and keys in the sitting room. Your family and the other guests are meeting there before they go to their rooms. It’s this way.” Nick motioned for them to follow. “Have a great time.”
“Nick said our room was ready. Are we sharing one?” Coda asked as they walked down the main corridor. “I never asked about that.”
“Yes, about that—”
“Spencer, you made it,” Tyler said as he approached them. “Hey.” His brother stared at Coda. “You brought a date?”
“Coda, this is my brother Tyler.” Spencer watched as his little brother gawked over the goddess of a woman standing across from him. Stunning didn’t begin to describe her.
“Hi, Tyler.” Coda smiled. “It’s nice to meet you.”
“Where did my brother find you?” Tyler elbowed Spencer.
“Oh, well, we...” Coda trailed off and looked at Spencer for assistance.
“Wasn’t it your idea I bring a date?”
“Yeah, I didn’t think you would.” He returned his attention back to Coda. “He’s a recluse. If you’re looking to have a good time this weekend, stick with me.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Coda giggled.
A surge of jealously coursed through his system. He didn’t like the idea of his pretend girlfriend flirting with his brother.
“Would you like something to drink, Coda?” Tyler asked. “They have a bar set up for our arrival.”
“We’ll make our way over,” Spencer said. “Is Tara here?”
“She’s in the hotel, but I think she’s finishing up lunch with the governor’s family.” Tyler looked around. “The bridal party is here.” He jerked his head in the direction of the enclosed patio. “All of them.”
“I figured.” Spencer’s eyes connected with Ava’s as she watched from across the room. She gave him a dirty look before turning her head. According to Tyler’s latest update from her Facebook page, she’d been waiting for Spencer’s arrival. He’d been texting Spencer all afternoon with unwanted status reports.
“She doesn’t look happy,” Tyler said.
“That’s not my problem.” If Ava would have accepted things were over between them, Spencer wouldn’t have had to resort to this juvenile game.
“I’m heading up to my room,” Tyler said. “I’ll see you two at dinner.”
“Nice meeting you, Tyler,” Coda said.
“Later.” He left them alone but Spencer knew Tyler would want all the details about Coda.
