I grinned. “Because they’re terrible with money. Everyone here tonight is loaded.”
I raised my glass as the door opened, and Sarah-Leigh’s father entered, looking sheepish. “Sorry. I was looking for the little boy’s room in this monstrosity.”
“Oh, no, sir,” I cooed, reaching for his arm to show him out of the study. “This is far from a monstrosity. Let me show you around. In fact, this penthouse was the inspiration for Silverpiece’s latest masterpiece, the Celestial Vista. Have you heard of it?”
I steered him toward the second floor and turned my head, catching Kai’s wide, daunted stare. Understanding flooded his face, and a laugh escaped his lips.
“No, I don’t believe I have,” Logan Fergus muttered. “What is this? Another condo?”
I tittered. “Far from it,” I assured him, leading him up the spiral staircase toward the second floor. “In fact, your good friend, George, just bought one of the last units, so maybe he’ll let you visit sometime.”
Logan stopped and stared at me, the blood draining from his face. “George Weinburg?”
“The one you came with, yes,” I answered innocently.
“He bought one of the Silverpiece condos? When?”
“Earlier. I showed him some of the specs and photos—”
“Why didn’t anyone show me first?” Logan boomed. “Are there any more available?”
I frowned pensively. “Oh… I’d have to check. They’re very exclusive, sir—”
“Go check! Right now!”
“If there are, I imagine the price is steep—”
“Do I look like the kind of man who has trouble paying? Go on and check on availability. Throw Weinburg out if necessary.”
“Oh, dear,” I mused, hurrying back down the steps. “I’ll see what I can do. Please, wait upstairs for me, and I’ll have one of the partners speak with you.”
I found Kai in the study where I’d left him, and he shook his head in disbelief. “Is that what this has been about? Selling the rest of the Celestial units?”
“You got me,” I told him. “And I’ve got Logan Fergus upstairs champing at the bit right now, but one of you better hurry and close him, and another close George Weinburg in the living room.”
Kai stared at me in disbelief. “You really are incredible, Mylee. I don’t know how we ever got by without you before.”
I shrugged and giggled. “I have no idea, either, but I’m not kidding. Get over there and close those two. They are not patient men.”
“I’ll get Linc and Pax. And you…” He sighed. “You are getting a raise.”
I beamed happily and watched him go, my heart bursting with a sense of purpose. I was proving my worth, not only to the guys, but to myself.
I really am enough.
CHAPTER24
Lincoln
Mylee couldn’t stop fidgeting in her seat, her fingers twirling, shoulders shifting, dark eyes darting out the half-shaded window and back toward the three of us. But the one thing that remained consistent was the grin on her face that hadn’t diminished since we’d left Chicago in the private jet.
She didn’t seem to know where to set her gaze, from the gadgets in the interior to the passing clouds outside.
The flight attendant moved forward to refill her champagne glass, but she covered the top, shaking her head.
“Oh, no thanks, Nichole. If I drink another sip, they’re going to have to carry me off the flight,” she laughed, and Nichole retreated to look at me, silently offering the bottle.
“We’re landing in Turin soon,” I told her, glancing at my Rolex. “We’ll save ourselves for the Italian wine.”
