“No. I’m thinking about work.”
She bobs her head. “Any progress on the Jensen merger?”
“We’re wearing him down, slowly but surely.” I sigh. “Nothing can go wrong though. Any red flags and he’ll run.”
“I’m sure it’ll work out. You both deserve that win.”
Her phone buzzes.
She glances at it.
I arch an eyebrow. “Is that Brett checking to make sure you haven’t run off with me?”
“No, it’s Venus. She’s reminding me about this weekend.”
“What’s happening this weekend?” I slow down in front of Brett’s place.
“We’re going to Vegas.”
“You? In Vegas?”
“Is that so hard to believe?” Her lips tremble and then form a big smile. “I wouldn’t normally go, but Venus is getting married.”
“Venus? The matchmaker Venus?”
“Yup.”
I imagine the hot Make It Marriage woman with the long legs, the brilliant brown skin and the reddish-brown curls. “And here I was, secretly hoping she’d dump the artist and find me.”
“Sorry, Hansley. It seems you’re not winning any hearts tonight.”
“Oh, where will I find a woman kind enough to heal my broken soul?” I wiggle my eyebrows at her.
“Not over here!” She laughs. “Do you want to join us?”
“In Vegas?”
She nods.
“Is it open invitation?”
“Venus loves a crowd.” Tierra lifts a finger and shrieks. “And not like that.”
I chuckle. “Why not? A weekend in Vegas sounds like fun.”
“Great. I’ll see you later.” She hikes out of the car and heads inside.
After I see her off safely, I drive to my place.
The condo’s dark. Empty.
I don’t bother turning on the lights.
Heading straight to my bedroom, I flop on the mattress and stare at the ceiling.
My phone chirps.
It’s Svena.
