“I’m here on a short trip. When I saw you lived here, I decided to reach out.”
He pushed his sunglasses back into place with his middle finger. “You made the right call. What are your plans?”
“I don’t have any.”
“Where are you?”
She blinked. “In Lisbon.”
“I know that, bebe.Wherein Lisbon?”
“Uh…” She turned the camera around, so he could see the stores lining the street.
He snapped his fingers. “I know where you are. I’ll be there in ten.”
“Ten?” she echoed, but the screen had already gone blank. She looked up and found she was the focus of two disgruntled, disapproving males. “What?”
“You’re talking to a man,” Mo said darkly.
“He’s a friend.”
“Roth isn’t going to like this.”
“He wouldn’t allow it,” Johan muttered, and Mo nodded in agreement.
“Johnny’s gay.” When their expressions didn’t change, she put a hand on her hip. “Seriously?”
“Roth needs to be informed,” Johan said and pulled out his phone to tattle on her.
“I’ll call him.”
She ignored their stunned expressions as she dialed. She gritted her teeth when Mo checked to make sure it really was Roth she was calling. She understood their skepticism since she normally avoided him at all costs, but she wasn’t going to let him ruin her day.
Roth picked up on the second ring. “Jasmine.”
“I’m meeting a friend of mine, Johnny Salazar,” she said in a rush. “He—"
“Rey Salazar’s son?”
Of course, he knew Rey Salazar.
“Yes,” she said tightly.
“I’ve never heard of a Jonathan.”
“He was disowned a long time ago. They don’t talk about him. Anyway, he lives in Lisbon, and he’s going to show me around.”
He didn’t respond.
She rolled her eyes. “He’s gay. That’s why he was disowned. Mo and Johan said I had to call so—"
“I’ll see you tonight.”
She wasn’t offended by his curt tone or that he hung up on her. She bounced on her toes and pointed at Mo and Johan. “Hah!”
“Better to be safe than sorry,” Johan said.
She looked up and down the street and made a shooing motion. “Can you guys give me some space?”
