But whatever.
“That’s a multimillion dollar company,” I remarked, the wheels in my CPA brain spinning as I thought of what it could do forme.
“Obviously, I know that,” Levi snapped, rolling his broad shoulders. “You’re starting to waste my time right now, Ally. I have things to do.”
“Ditto, Levi.” I snorted, before gathering up my courage. “I’d like to counter your proposition.”
“You can’t be serious right now. This isn’t a negotiation.”
I swallowed my nerves, ignoring his words. “Forty percent stake in the company, and I accept.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Fine then. Thirty-five.”
Levi pursed his lips, his eyes narrowing. “Fifteen.”
Hope burst through my chest—I had a shot. “Thirty-four.”
“Twenty.”
“Thirty or no deal.” I gave him my best poker face, flipping my auburn hair over my shoulder.
He let out a sigh. “Fine.Thirty-fucking-percent it is. You’re welcome for turning you into a millionaire.” Levi pushed his chair back, shaking his head as he stood to his feet. “I’ll write something up.”
“No,Iwill do the write-up,” I challenged him, leaning back in my desk chair. “Knowing you, you’ll put some stupid clause in there that will ruin meactuallygetting what you just agreed to.”
“Wow.” His eyebrows shot up, and for a brief—verybrief moment, I thought he might actually be a little hurt by what I was implying. “I won’t fuck you over if you don’t fuck me over, Ally. Plain and simple as that.”
I met his gaze, the deep green hue mixed with chocolate brown a little jolting, my heart skipping a beat. There was no doubt in my mind that those eyes swayed a lot of women right out of their clothes...
But not me.
My brother’s best friend didnothave that power...nope. Not over me.
“I’m still going to write something up,” I stated, clearing my throat and looking away. “I just think it’s in my best interest. Also, I think it’s only fair that I write up a few rules as well.”
He folded his arms across his chest. “Like what? No bumping uglies, Ally? I don’t think you have to worry about that when it comes to me. Besides, I’ve already seen you naked—remember the Christmas party of fifteen? Yeah, I can’tunseethat.”
I rolled my eyes, pushing away the small pang of humiliation. “You didn’t seeallof me. You just didn’t knock before barging into the bathroom while I was taking a shower.”
“Um, becausemostpeople lock the door, Ally.”
“Right, but like you couldn’t hear the water running on the other side? The shower isopen. I don’t know how you didn’t hear it.”
“That rain showerhead is really quiet…” His voice dropped off for a moment before he shook his head. “Anyway, it’s fine to write up whatever rules you want, but wewillhave to have some PDA. It’ll be weird if we don’t touch each other at all.”
My stomach knotted up—Levi was more than known for his PDA-packed appearances. “Minimal PDA. I have class, Levi.”
“Yeah, okay. Whatever. Just write it up and I’ll mark out what I don’t agree with. We’ll go over it once we land on Friday.”
“Wait,thisFriday?”
“Yep, get to packing,baby.” He shot me a wink and slipped out of my office, his laughter echoing down the hallway.
I let out a sigh, facepalming as I glanced at my computer screen, having lost my place in balancing Lisa’s accounts.
Damn it, Levi.
