that if you pleaded with my mother who is in the hospital I would forget what you did. This is completely

inappropriate and I want you to leave.” She stands and walks toward me. I step back. “Delilah, I think I

made myself clear the last time we spoke.” “Maverick, we’re engaged. We’re supposed to be getting

married in a few months. This was all a mistake.” “Delilah, this is neither the time nor the place to

continue this conversation. I am here to visit my mother, so please leave.”

She rushes from the room and I take a deep breath. “Do you want to tell me what the hell that was all

about?” I chuckle “I wasn’t keeping it from you mom. I just want you to focus on getting better.”

“Maverick James Colwell, you do not keep things from me. I don’t care what your reason is. Do I make

myself clear?” I smile “yes mom, I promise I won’t keep any more secrets.” “Good, now sit down and

tell me what happened.” I take a seat on the bottom of her bed. I tell her exactly what happened. I see

sympathy in her eyes and I know what she is thinking about. “Are you sure that this is what you want to

do? I know you love Delilah.” I take a deep breath. “I don’t want you making this decision because of

what your father did.” I smile “mom, I’m making this decision because I need trust and what she did

destroyed that. I cannot wonder about what she has done or what she will do in the future.” “I’m proud

of the man that you have become.” “Thank you, mom.”

“Now to what do I owe this unplanned visit,” my mother asks. I almost forgot the reason I came after

dealing with Delilah. “I was wondering if it would be alright for me to bring a holistic healer to see you.”

She chuckles “when did you meet a holistic healer?” “I know a lot of people, mom.” She c*cks her head

and grins at me. “Fine, Ruby actually offered to bring her if it’s alright.” She smiles like she knows a

secret. “She is my boss mom nothing more.” “Alright I believe you. I would love to meet this holistic

healer and your boss in person.” “Am I going to regret this mom?” She slaps my leg. “Give your mother

a hug and get to work. I hug her and head out of the hospital. I drive the thirty minutes to the office.

When I arrive I only have half an hour before the meeting with Mr. Brenard.

Ruby POV

I head out to the SUV and the girls are already waiting. I laugh when I see they are all wearing

business dresses. I don’t ever think I’ve seen Brooklyn in a dress. “Not a word Ruby.” I laugh and raise

my hands in surrender. We all hop in the SUV and head toward the office. I lead them up to my floor to

wait in my office until after the meeting. “Wow, this is a nice office, Ruby” Jade says. “Yes, I love my

office.” A knock sounds on the door and when it opens Jennifer pokes her head in. “Ms. Solace, Mr.

Bernard is here and waiting for you and the others in the conference room.” “Thank you, Jennifer. I’ll be

right in.” I gather my folders and head toward the conference room. I step inside and Mr. Bernard

stands to greet me. “Aren’t you pretty” he says as he shakes my hand longer than necessary. “I already

don’t like this a**hole”, Gemma says. “I agree but I can deal with the a**hole to make this deal for the

company.” I set the folders down on the table and offer him a seat.

“Now what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn’t pull your chair out.” He pulls the chair and when I sit

down he touches my shoulder. Someone clearing their throat gets my attention. I turn to see Maverick

and Connor. Maverick looks angry. I wonder what happened to upset him. I shake those thoughts away

and focus on the meeting. “Mr. Bernard, I’m glad we could meet today. Maverick and Connor have

gotten me up to speed on the deal that your real estate company has made for the six properties. I

believe that our company would be a great asset in helping you secure this deal.” “Now I understand

that Stephen is your grandfather”, Mr. Bernard says. “Actually, he is my great grandfather but I’m

confused about what that has to do with the deal.” He chuckles “I understand that your grandfather,

wanted to keep the company in the family, but I don’t think a woman should be in charge. Maverick was

doing a fine job. Maybe you should just sit in your office and look pretty.” I’m just about to tell him

exactly what he can do with his deal when Maverick beats me to the punch.

“Mr. Bernard, I believe it’s time for you to leave.” “Excuse me” he says, not believing what he is hearing.

“I think you heard me just fine. Ruby Solace is more capable at this job than half the men I know and

the fact that you would insinuate otherwise because she is a woman is ludicrous. I’m sure that Ruby

would agree that we will not be doing business with a man like you.” He looks toward me. “I believe you

heard my VP. You can see yourself out of my building.” I stand leaving the conference room. As I walk

down the hall toward my office I don’t know what I feel more, anger or gratitude. Even though I could

have handled that a**hat myself, I didn’t feel like Maverick viewed me as weak. I open the door to my

office and the girls look toward me. “That meeting was fast”, Brooklyn says. I fill them in on everything

that just happened. “He handled that like a true Alpha” Jade says and I roll my eyes. “I’ll be back. I

need to go talk to him.”

I head toward his office and I can hear Connor and Maverick talking. “What the hell did I just do”

Maverick says. “I believe that you defended the honor of our new boss”, Connor says. I chuckle to

myself. “She doesn’t seem like the kind of woman who needs me to protect her, but I couldn’t sit there

and listen to that pr*ck talk to her that way” Maverick says and I smile. “Are you smiling about our

mate?” “Settle down Gemma it’s just a smile.” I knock on his office door and open it. Connor smiles

when he sees me. “Connor, can I speak to Maverick alone for a moment?” “Of course” he says and

leaves closing the door behind him. “I’m sorry Ruby. I know I shouldn’t have said those things. I

overstepped” I raise my hand to stop him from apologizing. “I came in here to thank you for what you

said. I appreciate you having my back. I meant what I said about the VP position. You have earned

that.” He smiles and goddess I could look at that face all day. I look away to stay focused.

“I brought my healer friend to meet you before we go to see your mom.” “Great, I spoke with her and

she is on board with meeting her and you in person.” “I’ll warn you before you come to my office that

my sister and other best friend are here too.” He chuckles “I’m glad to meet anyone that is important to

you.” His words make warmth bloom in my chest. I lead him to my office and I pray that the girls are on

their best behavior. I open the office door and the three of them are standing there with huge smiles on

their faces and I know they were listening to our conversation. Goddess help me with these three

women.
