She snorted over that comment about Lily’s boss.
“That’s not a bad thing,” she said. “People always get what is coming to them in the end.”
She looked to West to see if he was going to address the fact that he’d let Thomas go and no one was running the legal department and that Braylon should be promoted.
“I believe they do,” Braylon said.
Her brothers both had their laptops open and were going to get ready to work, but she didn’t want to dive into that just yet.
“Before we start,” she said. “I need to let you guys know I’m dating someone.”
Both of them looked up sharply at her. “What?” Braylon said.
“That’s right,” she said. “I’m coming to you and saying it now.”
“How long has this been going on?” West asked.
“Yeah,” Braylon said. “It’s not like you’re ever even around. You’re leaving tomorrow, right?”
“I am,” she said. “I’ll be back on Thursday night.”
She hated she had to fly out again, but it was what she did most of the time. Even after new companies were under West’s umbrella for months, they weren’t always completely ready for her to be done with them.
“Who is this guy?” West asked. “Or can’t we know that? I guess the fact that you’re telling us means it’s been going on under our noses for a while.”
“Like Braylon,” she said.
“Hey,” Braylon said. “I wasn’t keeping it quiet.”
“Well,” she said. “To be honest, I kind of am but know that might not be the case. And since I know some things about him and he’s in the public eye, you might see us out together.”
“Who is it?” West asked. “You keep avoiding that.”
“It’s Jamie Wilde,” she said.
West smirked. “Seriously. Who is it?”
She wasn’t expecting this.
“I think she’s being serious,” Braylon said. “She looks ready for steam to come out of her ears.”
“It’s Jamie,” she repeated. “It hasn’t been long. Just a few dates.”
“But you’re telling us now?” West asked.
“Why did you tell us so quickly about Abby?” she asked, crossing her arms.
“Oh,” West said. “Really? I never pictured you with someone like him.”
“What is wrong with him?” she asked.
“Calm down,” Braylon said. “Man, West, you’re working her up and it’s not even about work yet. And we’ll get to the work part soon, I’m sure.”
“He’s not your type because you don’t follow sports,” West said. “You didn’t even know who he was. You don’t like any man that gets more attention than you either.”
“That’s not true,” she said. “I hate attention on me outside of the family.”
“Exactly,” Braylon said. “Which is what I think West means. Jamie can’t exactly go many places without being seen so the question is how you’ve been able to keep this quiet.”
