With a smile, I hold out my hand, him gripping it firmly. “I’ve got to check in with my people. It was nice meeting you, Easton.”
“Same. Maybe next time our paths cross things will be clearer.” After ending the handshake, we head in opposite directions.
I’ll find Bernadette in a few minutes, before the meal is served, but for a quick second, I need time to think.
I need to figure out what hell my end game is here. I know I want her. But I also respect promises I make, especially ones to my brother.
Fuck, that promise should be expired by now. Maybe I should just suck it up and talk to Dex about it, test the waters. Maybe he’d be happy for us. But then, maybe he would be against the two of us having a relationship.
There are just so many factors. Maybe I need time to process them all. Before I can find my assistant on this project, the one I wanted to check in with, my attention is caught on the beautiful woman walking straight for me, a fucking gorgeous smile on her face aimed right at me.
As muddled as my mind was a split second ago, all it takes is one look at Bernadette Ross and I’m completely gone for her.
