Page 12 of Talk About… Secrets
“She should keep her eyes at a respectful level,” I said with a grunt. “That and her attitude is bullshit. What is her problem?”
“Jealousy,” Spencer concluded. “Here is this sexy, little omega with three shirtless men. I’d bet she’s packless.”
“Three powerful men,” Beck corrected with a cocky smirk. “I’d wager she knows who we are.”
“Way to sound like a tool,” Cade snorted. “Come on, let’s get our shivering omega changed and warmed up.”
I frowned down at the bikini I was wearing, realizing I had an issue. “This is what I wore under my dress.”
“Guess you’ll have to go commando like we will,” Cade said as his eyes burned holes into my body as they slowly drifted down every inch of me. “That’s going to make this a long afternoon.”
“It’s already going to be long if we’ve got wedding planner Barbie in there to spend it with,” I laughed.
“I’ll request someone new if she has an issue,” I said as I stalked inside, ready to face whatever she had planned.
This was for Hailey. I could handle some attitude.
“We have to make sure to keep flirting to a zero. I want no one to know,” I reminded them as I walked ahead of them.
I heard some grumbles but ignored it as I walked inside and snatched my clothes and purse, heading for the nearbyrestroom. I slid off the bikini and put on the flowy sundress, glad it at least had some coverage.
My phone was ringing before I even walked out and I dug it out of my purse, letting out a sigh at Hailey’s name.
“I know, I know. You can handle it. But some bitch just called complaining you missed the scheduled appointment that I never even made for you. Just confirming she’s wrong?”
“Yeah,” I explained. “Me and the groomsmen arrived around the same time and it was hot, so we explored the grounds and took a dip in the lake. I guess she didn’t like that.”
“It literally says we have access to the lake on the paperwork I have,” Hailey growled. “Was she rude to you?”
“I’ll handle it. No need to worry,” I promised.
“Well, I told her that you had full control for now, so if she’s a bitch, kick her ass off my wedding,” she said firmly. “I’m paying way too much to let some uptight planner that’s not even the one I agreed to, drag it down. I owe you for handling all this for a few more days.”
“I’m going to run out to the car for the portfolio you gave me now. Then I’ll handle her.”
“I know you will,” she reassured me. “So, tell me, how are the guys? I heard the pack joined Beckett as well.”
“They’re nice,” I said easily, and by some small miracle I managed to keep my voice casual.
“Aren’t they so down to earth for billionaires?” she laughed. “They seemed so normal when I first met them.”
“Excuse me? Billionaires?”
“Girl, they are the pack behind PackSense! That’s why we’re doing the scent blend party favors,” she explained. “I just hoped that wasn’t just them trying to impress me.”
“They’ve been great actually. I could see us being easy friends,” I promised.
“Good, because Beckett, well, I guess all of them now, is staying for the weekend, too, to help in case you need any heavy lifting, and really, to keep you safe. I didn’t like you being alone and Nolan reassured me that he was already there for that reason.”
“We’ll be fine. Promise. I’ll call if I need anything but I have to go before she freaks out again.”
“Put her in her place, Grace,” she said before saying a quick goodbye and hanging up.
When I got back to the lobby they weren’t around and neither was she, so I slipped out to the car to grab the portfolio, finding the guys talking to her outside.
From the scowls on their faces, she was causing more issues.
“What’s the issue now?” I asked, my frustration making my voice even sharper this time.
