“You couldn’t get out of there fast enough yesterday.”
Oh, so she’s sulking, it amuses me.
“Wow, that was only yesterday?” I can’t hold my grin in any longer.
“Very funny.” She shoves me in the shoulder with one of her fingers.
“I told you what I thought about it. Is there a time limit on what you’re suggesting?”
She laughs and bites her lip. “Actually, there is. Time’s a-ticking, Enzo.”
“You’re too much of a Medici, do you know that?”
She tilts her head to the side. “How so?”
“You know what I’m talking about. You’re all tarred with the same brush. Pushy as hell, for the record.”
She fake yawns like she’s getting old with my jabbering. I eye her.
“What’s with the outfit?”
She looks down at her gorgeous self, and my eyes steal another glance at her breasts. “What, this old thing?”
I laugh. “You hitting the gym, kiddo?”
She frowns. “I’ve been and gone, and I’m not a kid anymore… in case you didn’t notice.”
Oh, I’ve fucking noticed, sweetheart.
“You don’t like it, E?”
“I never said that.”
She rolls her eyes. “You’re referring to the fact I’m showing some abs? Heaven help us, we better call security.”
I glance at her and give her a look. “I didn’t mean that. You’d look gorgeous in a paper bag.”
Her eyes go wide.Fuck. I said that out loud.
“Though, it doesn’t leave much to the imagination,” I add.
She pouts. “Oh well, free country and all… that is, if you don’t live in a Sicilian crime family.”
“What was all that talk about?” I ask.
Her eyes go wide. “How much did you hear?”
“Not much.” I shake my head, hoping I’m a better liar than I think I am.
She looks slightly alarmed but recovers quickly. “I was talking to my assistant. I’m having a few issues with some of the contractors helping me decor the rooms. But I have it all under control. It’s nothing to worry about.”
“Well, if I can help …”
“I have it under control,” she says again. Her gaze fiery and strong, leaving no room for argument.
“All right.” I hold my hands up. “You’ve done a great job so far, V. I want you to know that. I know the boys think the same, though they may not show it sometimes.”
“Ha, show it! That will be the day. Kinda like when hell freezes over.”
