After Darin left, Felicia followed Jeremy into his office.
“Why is Darin back again?” she asked.
Jeremy picked up his glass of warm water, took a slow sip, and answered, “This time, he’s here looking for a partnership with Roen Capital.”
Felicia frowned, her eyebrows knitting together. “A partnership?”
Roen Capital had put their money behind the Curtis family, which put them right at odds with Darin. And Jeremy’s connection with Max was deep, so teaming up with Darin didn’t make sense at all.
Jeremy went on, “You know what happened with the Lisbon family. Everyone’s trying to get their share now, but the one who’s benefited the most is Darin.”
Felicia caught on right away. Of course, Darin wanted to use the Lisbon family's situation to strike some kind of deal with Jeremy.
“After all this, Darin’s reputation has blown up in Capital circles,” Jeremy added. “But I haven’t said yes to anything yet.”
Felicia looked thoughtful. “I just wonder what he’s up to this time.”
Jeremy studied her. His eyes were serious, his voice thoughtful. “Yeah, me too.”
She let the topic drop and handed him a file. “Here’s the report on the overseas project.”
Once they'd finished going over the paperwork, Jeremy looked up. “Got any plans tonight?”
Felicia didn’t hesitate. “Miranda reached out to me. She wants me to come home to the Hawthorne estate tonight.”
Jeremy raised a brow. “First time she’s called in ages?”
Felicia nodded. “Exactly. I’m curious to see what she wants.”
