Page 24 of Hate At First Sight

It’s not just at Stupid Face McWashboard CEO’s abs.

It’s about how I’ve not been getting what I believe I deserve out of life.

I turn up the speed on the rabbit and my moans get louder.

I let go.

Something about thinking about him has me more turned on than normal.

My mind cycles through scenarios…

I find myself getting loud--louder than usual.

“You’ve gotto be fucking kidding me!” I bark into the phone.

I’m pacing back and forth on the balcony of the suite I keep at the hotel.

“Who the fuck blocked the Jungla del Sur deal? Who?”

My assistant clears her throat. “Sir. You’re getting very loud with me.”

“I’m sorry, Griselda.” I take a deep breath. Griselda is my absolute angel of an assistant and the last person I’d want pissed at me. “Not mad at you. Just the situation.”

“Yes, you’ve been like this lately though. Have you thought about doing some yoga?”

I rub my temple. Maybe Yoshimi is right. Maybe my anger issues are starting to bleed into my business.

“I’ve considered it.”

“Good. I think it would help you. Anyway, let me see who blocked the deal.” I hear her clicking away. She’s based in our hotel corporate headquarters in the capital city in Costa Rica, San Jose. “Well, Save the Trees Inc. is part of a subsidiary…let me cross check it.”

Yoshimi is right. I have too much going on. I’m like Elon Musk with my hand in all these different companies I’ve started. I can’t even keep track of them. I’m losing focus.

She continues typing. Even the beautiful palm trees of the jungle can’t contain my fury. I hear a monkey howling. That’s damn right.

“Looks like it was Halsted Capital. Ever heard of them?”

My blood curdles when I hear their name.

“No way,” I bark. “No fucking way.”

“What? What?!”

I think the vein in my forehead is in danger of exploding. “That mother fucker is trying to create a gold mine in the rainforest. A literal gold mine.”

“So, Save the Trees Inc is…”

“A ploy. Save the Trees is a shell organization so they can pretend to be doing good for the environment.” I grind my teeth. “Meanwhile, they’re blocking my sustainable hotel chain.”

I feel like I might actually explode.

And not in the way that I thought about exploding earlier with Indy.
