“Still here?” Ava asked.
That didn’t take long.
“What did you do, follow me in here?” Coda dried her hands. “Shouldn’t you be taking pictures or something?”
“Nice bracelet.” Ava’s nostrils flared when she stared at the stunning piece of jewelry.
“Thanks, Spencer gave it to me.” She retrieved her lipstick from her small clutch.
“That doesn’t surprise me. Spencer buys his way out of everything.” She smirked. “There isn’t one problem he doesn’t solve without throwing money at it.”
“I’m not sure I’m a problem he needs to solve.” She applied her lipstick, hoping Ava would leave her alone.
“You’re not his type.” Ava moved to stand next to her and stared at her in the mirror. “You have to know that.”
“No, I think you fall into that category considering he’s spending the weekend with me.”Don’t make me go Brooklyn on you, bitch.
“You’re a plaything for him. Really, what else could you be? He’s slumming.”
“You don’t know anything about me.”
“Exactly. Where did he find you?”
“You can’t stand the fact he’s moved on, and with someone you can’t find any information on.” Coda tried to keep her composure. The last thing she wanted to do was lash out and hit this twit. “Spencer wants me and that makes you crazy.”
“He doesn’t want you. When this weekend is over you’ll be a thing of the past. You’ll go back to doing whatever it was you were doing. I’ll still be here. Spencer knows why we need to be together. He’s rebelling, but eventually he’ll do what’s right for his company. He always does.”
“Being with you is right for the agency?”
“It’s right for both of our families. My grandfather wants to retire. He’d feel better knowing I was by Spencer’s side. I get who he is. I’m a Carrington, he’s a Cannon. We’re meant for one another.”
“This really isn’t my concern. I think your grandfather needs to have a long talk with Spencer. You’re the only one holding out hope. You should stop wasting your time.”
Coda heard the vibration of Ava’s phone. Ava retrieved it from her purse and checked her message. “Well, that’s interesting.” She raised her head and smiled at Coda. “I’m not the least bit worried about you.”
“You should get a life.” Coda made her way to the exit.
“After tomorrow you’ll be a thing of the past in more ways than one.” Ava laughed. “I’ll make sure of it.”
Coda returned to the bar, took her drink from Spencer, and chugged it.
“Um, thirsty?” He grinned in amusement.
“Annoyed. Can I have another?” She set her empty glass down on the bar.
“First you better tell me what happened.”
“Ava cornered me in the bathroom.”
“Sorry.” He motioned for the bartender to refill her glass. “I hope she wasn’t too—”
“Bitchy,” she finished for him. “She was, but I can handle her. We convinced her. She’s upset because she thinks you’ve moved on.”
“I have.” He ran his finger along her arm. “Not because I brought you here.”
“Of course not.” She sipped the second glass of champagne. Did he have to remind her this was a charade? She was perfectly happy with living in the sham for another twelve hours.
“I want you to know I don’t move from relationship to relationship. I haven’t been with Ava or anyone else in five months.”
