Page 42 of Faking it with My Billionaire Bosses

“Except she’s not right now.” I ran my hands through my hair and rested my elbows on my desk. “I understand what you’re saying, though. I never could’ve imagined the three of us dating the same woman, would go well. It works, though. It works so well. It’s only been a few days, but I can just feel it. If we fuck up, none of that will matter. She’ll hate us.”

“The public opinion has to sway, right? They’ll see how much we care about her.” Cole stood up and groaned. “I’m going to double check this date plan for tonight. I don’t know why Paul’s insisting on being the one to plan them out.”

“According to Samantha, it’s so he can make sure the optics are just right. Romance instead of affair. That’s the look he’s trying to capture.” I rolled my eyes. “He did a great job last night with that picture of Drake’s dick.”

“To be fair, that wasn’t his fault. He couldn’t have known Drake was going to devour Sonnie in the car ride over.” He grinned. “Though, he should’ve. Our girl’s a tasty fucking snack. How was Drake supposed to stop himself?”

“Get out of my office. Tasty fucking snack? You sound like a teenager.” I shuddered and listened to the sound of him laughing as he left. I stared down at my phone and tried to focuson work. I still had things I needed to do. Even if all I wanted to do was chase Sonnie down and try to convince her she should stay.

“How would you fuck up?”

I flinched and felt my heart lurch as Rosie seemed to just materialize in front of my desk. Dressed in all black with her eyes rimmed in even more black, she was a bit scary looking when she scowled. “Where the hell did you come from? You scared the shit out of me.”

She stepped closer and Monster jumped out of her arms and onto my desk. She turned her scowl onto the cat when he rubbed against my hand. “Traitor.”

“What’s up, Rosie? I have a feeling you want to threaten or maim me, so let’s hear it.” I sat back in my chair and Monster crawled right into my lap. The cat wasn’t helping me win any points with his owner.

“How would you guys fuck up? I heard you say you might fuck up and ruin everything. So, how would you fuck up?” She stared at me so hard I felt like combusting wouldn’t be that shocking.

“Should you be cursing so much? Does Sonnie know you swear like that?” I frowned up at her. “Seriously. You’re a kid. I think I’m supposed to tell you to watch your mouth or something.”

“Try it and see what happens.” She sat in the chair across from me and sent me a look that dared me to admonish her.

“I’m having a hard time believing kids bully you. You’re terrifying.” I thought I saw a hint of a smile but I didn’t want to get carried away. “Anyway, you shouldn’t eavesdrop.”

“You shouldn’t talk so loud.”

“You should try being a little nicer.”

“You should try learning to bake a cupcake. My sister’s cupcakes make yours taste like cat food.”

I winced. “Eat a lot of cat food in your short little life?”

“No, but I offered Monster some of your cupcake and he tried to eat his own shit instead.” She was out for blood.

“My cupcakes built this house, you know? They can’t be that bad.” I was definitely arguing with a child.

“As dry as they are, I bet they could’ve built this house. I’ve seen softer bricks.”

“Alright!” I scowled back at her. “What’s your deal?”

“If you hurt my sister, I’ll destroy you. I don’t know how, but I will. It may take me years to do it, but I won’t forget. I’ll take my time and when you least expect it, I’ll be there, ready to ruin your life.” She sat forward. “Figure out how you might fuck up and then don’t do it. My sister cares about you three for some idiotic reason and she believes in you. You’re the worst kind of asshole if you break that.”

I took a deep breath and counted to ten. I’d never been threatened so thoroughly by a child and she was pushing my buttons, but some only hurt so much because she was right. Hurting Sonnie would make us lower than shit. I met her dark gaze and nodded. “I hear you.”

She smiled suddenly and nodded. “Great. I think I’m going to go watch TV. Nice talking to you.”

I shuddered after she walked out of my office and looked down at Monster. “No fucking wonder you don’t try to scratch that one. She’d eat your heart and insult you while she did it.”

He licked my hand and then yawned. Seemed like even the cat was bored of my shit.

CHAPTER 32

Sonnie

“If you think you don’t have any claim on me, you’re crazy.”

I jumped and turned around to see Drake stalking towards me. I frowned at him before turning back to the lake. “Go away.”
