Pulling out the chair across from me, he moves his leg away from Duchy’s cuddle attempt. How dare he! Shane turns and glances at Daddy giving him a half smile. “And to be clear, I don’t work for you. I work for the big guy here.” Chuckling, he gestures to Daddy. “If you need assistance from my department, you can contact my secretary and she’ll get you squared away.”
With his head turned away from Daddy, Shane glares at me. What is his problem? I stare back unapologetically.
A grimace settles onto his face as he leans back comfortably into his chair. ”Besides, I may be busy spending time with this total legend out on the golf course.” Shane nods his head in Daddy’s direction.
I’m speechless. Stunned, actually. What is happening here? I bite my tongue and wait for Daddy’s reaction. Shane’s only been in his position for five minutes and nobody talks to me like that. Especially not on Daddy’s watch.
But, a slow growing grin spreads across Daddy’s face. He looks…pleased. “You are an executive now. I can only hope you’ll make time for a round of golf with an old man like me.” He pats Shane on his enormous shoulder.
Forget everything I said. My search for a leading man who loves me in spite of my money continues. Shane is most definitely not here to play my love interest from a page in my journal. He fooled me for a minute, but now I recognize him. I know his type too well. I have dated so many Shanes before. He’s smoking hot. He always knows the right thing to say. He’s kissing up to my dad.
Shane is a gold-digger.
