“He hasn’t called me.” She glanced at her phone. “Not that I expected him to.”
“He’s a man, honey. You hurt his pride. You agreed to his terms. How was he to know if he didn’t offer you the money that you wouldn’t have reacted harshly? If he’s a man of his word then he had no choice but to abide by his end of the agreement.”
“I screwed up.”
“Maybe a little, but if you think your weekend meant more than a fling you could probably salvage things. If that’s what you want.”
“I do want a relationship with him, but I’m not sure that’s possible now.” She got out of bed. “I need to apologize to him. You’re right.” She hugged her mom. “I agreed to his deal. I shouldn’t have gotten offended when he paid me.”
“Explain to him how you felt. Be honest with him.”
“I will.”
“How much money are we talking?” her mom asked. “Out of curiosity.”
“Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”
“Holy shit!”
“I know.” She laughed. “The man is crazy and knows how to get what he wants.”
“I don’t know what to say.” She shook her head. “I can’t imagine that much money.”
“I can’t wait to tell you all about the wedding. It was unbelievable.” She pulled some clothes out of her closet. “I need to get showered and head over to the agency.”
“You do what your heart tells you. If the two of you are meant to have a future, things will work out.”
“I hope so.” She headed for the bathroom. “I had lobster.”
“How was it?”
“Good, but not as delicious as the champagne.” She hoped she had a chance to taste that again. “That was to die for.”
Chapter 13
“Ava’s gone too far.” Spencer threw the tabloid onto the conference room table. “You better get her under control, Pierce.”
His grandfather shook his head as he quoted from the article. “What’s to become of the future of Cannon and Carrington now that Spencer has cheated on his fiancée, Ava Carrington?”
“They were never engaged,” Tyler said. “Spencer didn’t cheat on Ava. They were broken up.”
“Pierce,” his grandfather said. “This is absurd.”
“I’m sorry,” Pierce said. “I never thought she’d go this low. I don’t know what’s gotten into my granddaughter, but I can assure you she’ll be dealt with.”
