“Good. We need to start from the ground up,” I tell her. “Pull the data out and anything else you have. In the meantime, I’ll step out to make a phone call. I think I have the perfect business partners—”
“As in, more than just one?”
“Yes,” I confirm. “I think these two guys will be all over the CycleThonix and the rest of the Thonix family. I’ll get my lawyers and accountants to go over the numbers, but since you were transparent, I already know where you’re starting from.”
“God, you move at lightning speed, Levi.”
“For months you were way over your head. It’s no longer the case, Jules. The faster we move, the faster we can bring the bikes to market, the faster you can start making money,” I remind her. “There’s a lucrative market for the CycleThonix. There are other smart bikes on the market, but none of them allow you to ride with a virtual partner in real time.”
“Okay,” she nods slowly, still soaking in my words. “Fast, it is.”
“Glad you’re on board, sweetness. While I’m making a few calls, why don’t you make an appointment with your dad’s lawyers and your accountants? Make sure you get a few options so I can see what works best in my schedule.”
“Got it!”
“Let’s go fuck some shit up!” I exclaim, standing up.
“I’m onboard!” she flashes me a wide smile.
Chapter 17
Jules
Excitement bubbles inside me, threatening to burst like a champagne cork on New Year’s Eve just when the clock strikes midnight. Seriously, I’m so giddy, I’m bouncing off walls.
Daddy, I’m not going to let you down!
I choke up with emotion.
It takes me a few seconds to find my composure. When I do, I’m itching to share the good news. Sydney is not only responsible for changing the course of my sex life, but it appears my best friend put me into the path of a savior who’s about to transform my whole existence. I snatch my phone off the conference table and dial her up.
“Hey, Jules!”
“Hey, Syd, can you talk?”
“Austin and I are working at a massive Beverly Hills property—”
“Aren’t they all massive in that zip code?”
“Touché,” she giggles. “In any case, we’re taking a break. It’s so hot today. Fuck, I hate boob sweat.”
I laugh.
“What’s going on?” she asks.
“You’re never going to believe what I have to share.”
“Hit me!”
After Levi dropped me off at my house last night, I was so bummed out by reality slapping me in the face, I couldn’t find it in me to call my best friend. I give her a quick rundown of my conversation with Hillary. I tell her about bumping into Levi right after. I share the highlights of our sexy night at the club. I conclude by telling Syd about Levi and I going from a one-night stand to a partnership.
“Hillary is such a twat!” she shouts so loud on the other end, I have to pull the phone away from my ear. “The woman is a stupid cow!” Syd rages. “I swear to God, once you have her out of your life for good, we have to go out and celebrate.”
“Deal!”
“Now, let’s talk about that fine piece of man candy that’s doubling as your knight in shining armor.”
I actually giggle like a silly girl.
