Jace kisses the back of my head. I stare at Gio through my tears. They both came for me.
“We can’t live without you. I’m going to get over myself and do what I should have done a long time ago. Will you marry me, Nyla? I can’t promise you an ordinary life. I still need to finish what I started, but I want you by my side.
“I’ll find us the best way to make this wish you have come true. I’ll find a way to make it all happen. Trust me, give me a little more time.”
“Okay, yes.” I nod.
CHAPTER58
Lunch & Friends
Gio
Three months later…
I sitwith Lizzy in this restaurant as we wait to have lunch with Ny. I’m supposed to be meeting her sister for the first time. I figured while we wait, I’d hand her the contract to come work for me. Well, Di Lorenzo Industries and Dante.
I needed to move some pieces around before I offered her the mail room position at Di Lorenzo Industries and told her about the contract I placed for her services. I laugh at the bewildered look on her face.
“You’re going to pay me what to work in the mail room?”
“It’s a two-million-dollar contract to start in the mail room and move up through the company as I need.”
“Wow, but I’m starting that channel thing with my sister. A lot of gamers are taking off and making good money. You encouraged me to do it. Why, when you knew you had this in mind?”
“You have a certain set of skills I need. When the time comes, I’ll ask you for them. That could take a few years. I want you to have your business and do something you love.
“I promise, you’re never going to have to give your gaming or the business up for me. I’ll make it all work. You can have both. I am asking for a few sacrifices, but your gaming and business are not among them.”
“Okay, I think I can handle that.”
“We have a deal?”
She gives me that smile I love and pushes her glasses up her nose. I hope my first daughter looks like her, glasses and all. A little version of who I’m sure will be the cool auntie.
Lizzy is hard on herself. However, it’s hard not to love and want to protect her. She’s perfect for Dante. I can’t stop thinking about that.
“Deal. Anything else I need to know?”
“Yes, this is between us. Jace is the only other person who knows. You have a problem, you come to me, no matter what department you’re in.”
“Got it. I sign here?”
“Yes.”
I look up as Jace and my fiancée walk in. I almost break into a face-splitting smile until I remember myself. I lift my glass and take a sip.
“Oh, there she is. My sister just walked in. Look, Jace is coming in with her. Talk about perfect timing.”
Nyla and Jace stop at the table at the same time. Ny looks up at him and raises a brow, playing the part perfectly. I stand and smooth my tie down.
“Ny, this is my friend Gio, and this is Jace, his assistant.”
Jace reaches out a hand and Ny takes it. She then turns to me. I hold my hand out, but instead of shaking hers, I lift it to my lips. She gives me a smug smile.
“It’s nice to meet you. Your sister talks a lot about you.”
“She’s the best,” Lizzy gushes.
