“And what about the heir thing? You haven’t even been looking for a girl, Ares. He’s going to start to get pissed.” I smirk at my friend. He should know me better than this.
“Come on, Juno. You honestly think I give a shit if he’s pissed or not?” Juno chuckles and shakes his head.
“Not at all.”
“Let’s go. I have all I need for now. I want to hit the gym for a while and train.” Juno nods as I close the laptop and head back out of the office. We walk down the hall and the stairs with no issues. I’m thankful we don’t see Juno’s father here, although he can work from home. Just as we step outside, my cell rings. I pull it from my pocket and see it’s my father.
“Shit. It’s my father.”
“Oh fuck,” Juno says under his breath as I press the answer button.
“Hey.”
“Ares, how are things?”
“Good. Everything has been taken care of. The women are on their way back to where they belong as we speak.”
“No loose ends?” he asks.
“Has there ever been a loose end?”
“Watch your tone. There’s always a chance for mistake.”
“I don’t fucking make mistakes,” I say through gritted teeth.
“Not as of yet,” he adds, just to piss me off.
“Not ever. Can I say the same about you?” I want to test his patience and know exactly how to do that.
“Are you saying I make mistakes, Ares?”
“I’m saying there’s always a chance.”
“And what would my mistake be?”
“I haven’t figured that out yet, Father, but I’m sure in due time I will.” He laughs now. Let him laugh. He doesn’t know what I know. He doesn’t know I can break his goddamn encryption. He doesn’t know I possess those skills. There are things my father doesn’t know about me, and I’d like to keep it that way.
“What about a woman, Ares? Have you found one of those, or shall I do that for you?”
“Why the hell would you do it for me?”
“Because you haven’t presented me with one. I assure you if one isn’t found by the time I get home, I will choose one for you.”
“Which is when?”
“In a week.” With that, the line goes dead, and anger surges in my veins. I shove the phone back into my pocket as Juno looks at me, waiting.
“What did he say?”
“He is going to find me a suitable woman when he gets home if I don’t find one first.”
“When is that?”
“In a week.”
“Fuck, Ares. What are you going to do?” I shrug as I walk the rest of the way to my car and climb in. I start it up and pull out, heading toward the main gate.
“Where are we going?”
