I sat there, contemplating my next move. This was something she really wanted and if I could make it happen for her, I would.

“How much for the two buildings?”

“What?” Leon laughed. “You can’t be serious.”

“I am,” I spoke deadpan.

“They’re not for sale.”

“Everything’s for sale.” I smirked.

“Is she your girlfriend or something?”

“No. She’s just a very good friend with a dream.”

He sighed as he stared at me for a brief moment. His eyes narrowed. “One million for each property.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Come on, Leon. That’s double what the going rate is. Don’t forget, we’re in the same business. You didn’t even buy those buildings for half that much.”

“Inflation, my friend.” He smiled.

“So, you’d agree to sell to me if I paid you two million dollars?”

“Yes. I would have the contracts drawn up tomorrow if you wanted.”

I extended my hand to him. “You’ve got yourself a deal.”

“Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” he asked.

“I know what I’m doing.” I finished off my drink.

Chapter Twenty-Three

Emily

I slipped into my short black skirt, pulled on my burgundy Cami, and reached into my closet to pull out a stylish black jacket. Stopping in the bathroom to double-check my makeup, I heard my phone ding with a text message.

Walking back into the bedroom, I smiled when I saw it was from Jackson.

“What are you wearing?”

“Black skirt, burgundy Cami, and a black jacket.”

“Send me a picture.”

“Are you serious?”

“Very,”he replied with the wink emoji.

As much as I hated those damn emojis, that one was cute. Standing in front of the mirror, I took a selfie and sent it to him.

“Hot damn. You look sexy.”

“Thank you.”

“I may have to use that picture to pleasure myself. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”

I couldn’t help but laugh.
