Chapter 0086
Just then, James comes walking back up. He looks upset to see me hugging Brady, but to his credit, he
does not say anything.
“Alpha Brady.”
“James.”
“I was promised two hours. It has been 45 minutes.”
Brady shrugs.
“I suggest that Lily make up the time by having dinner with me tonight.”
“James, I already told you that Brady and I have plans.”
James looks directly at Brady. “Yes, but I am sure that Alpha Brady would agree that, if he has to bail on
your plans for tonight, he would rather you be with me than be alone.”
Brady scoffs. “Hardly. But it doesn’t matter. I have no intention of bailing on Lily. Unlike you, I saw her
value from the moment I met her.”
“If you are so sure you won’t bail on her, then there is no harm in agreeing with me, is there?”
Brady rolls his eyes.
“Fine, whatever. I’ll play your stupid game. If lightning strikes and I am forced to bail on Lily tonight, I will
not prevent her from having dinner with you… provided you take some of our security detail with you.”
“Deal,”
James smiles. “So now tell me, how long are you all planning to stay in Hawaii?”
“We leave tomorrow. I need to get Lily back to where she is living, and then I need to get back to my
packhouse and catch up on the work I have been neglecting while being here.”
“Fair enough. I suppose I will leave tomorrow then too.”
For a moment, listening to the two of them, I wonder if they fell on their heads while my back was turned.
Where was this ability to engage in polite conversation earlier?
And then it stops.
