Olivia looked thoughtful. “So, Wyatt, what is it about Shane that you dislike? Like, why would he not make a good date for Sadie?”
“Do I really have to explain why he’s a shitty-ass guy?” He rolled his eyes. “Really? If I tell you he’s bad news, you should just take me at my word.”
“But how is he bad news?” Lucy said. “You still haven’t said that.”
“I just told you he’ll be groping her.”
“Really, Wyatt? In the middle of the restaurant, he’s going to grope me?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Maybe under the table,” he said.
“Whatever, Wyatt.”
“You know what, Lucy?” Wyatt glared at Lucy. “And you know what, Olivia?”
“What, Wyatt?” They chorused at the same time. I giggled.
“You guys are like twins.”
“Almost,” Olivia nodded.
“Neither of you knows Shane Wakefield, and you don’t know the sort of man that he is. And I think that it’s very, very …” He paused as he was getting heated.
“You think it’s very what?” Olivia said with a small smile.
“I think it’s very disrespectful to disregard my opinion on this matter.”
“We’re not disregarding your opinion on this matter,” Olivia said, “but Sadie wants to go on some dates, and Shane is interested. I don’t see how one date can hurt.”
“That’s because you don’t know him.”
“Well, we’ll get to know him when we go out on Saturday night, and then we’ll give you our opinion. Okay, Sadie?”
“Sounds good to me.” I beamed. “So there, Wyatt.”
“Okay, fine. Take these two women that don’t know this man from Adam and see what they have to say about him. But believe you me, they’re not going to think he’s a catch.”
“Well, maybe there will be some other guys there on Saturday night that we do think there is a catch,” Olivia said.
“You know what? I am going to the office. Sadie, I will talk to you later?” Wyatt just shook his head. “We need to purchase some new yearlings in a couple of weeks and I need to do some research on which ones will make the best racehorses.”
“I didn’t know you guys bred racehorses,” Lucy said with a surprised glance.
“Well, this will be our first year doing it seriously,” Wyatt said. “I’ve always had strong opinions about breeding racehorses, and I think this could help bring some extra income to the ranch. We’ll see.”
“Well, that’s awesome, Wyatt,” I said. “So Beau agreed?” I was surprised that he hadn’t mentioned it to me. Wyatt had been talking about purchasing horses for racing for the last few months and he’d been nervous to bring it up to his brothers, with everything that was going on.
“Not yet,” he shook his head, “but that’s why I’m going to do my research first so I have the numbers to show him. And then maybe he’ll dip into the coffers and allow me to invest in at least two horses.” He looked over at Olivia, “But who knows? Maybe I don’t have to speak to him. Maybe you could speak to him for me.”
“Very funny,” Olivia said with a smile. “You know he respects your opinion, Wyatt.”
“Sure he does.” Wyatt took a deep breath. “Anyways, I’m out. I’ll speak to you later. Bye.” He walked out of the room.
I looked at Olivia and Lucy. “Uh oh, I think he’s kind of pissed at me.”
“Well, let him be pissed. He’s a typical man,” Lucy said. “He wants it his way or the highway. You’re entitled to your own opinion as well. I mean, he couldn’t give you one good reason why Shane Wakefield is not a good guy. Aside from the fact that he’s going to grope you at the restaurant,” Olivia said. “Does he seem like the kind of guy who’s going to grope you at a restaurant, Sadie?
“I don’t know,” I shrugged. “But I know self-defense. So if he even tries,” I grinned, “I’ll take care of him.”
