I might be the CEO, but being the oldest, Danny’s the COO and chairperson for Indie Ink. We share responsibility for the company, but she takes the lead in meetings.

“Good, I’ll be able to show you the beta tomorrow,” he answers.

Danny nods then pulls the folders I brought closer. She glances through them. “New business looks good. Ryker, are you keeping up with the legal side?”

“With Indie Ink, yes, but we need to make a plan with CRC. With Hana no longer studying law, it’s going to become a problem when Mr. Cutler retires.”

Danny locks eyes with him. “I’ll give Jase a call.”

“I could always get a law degree,” Noah mentions as if it’s nothing. Dash’s brother has the same high IQ as their mother, so I guess he’d be able to get it done in no time.

“What about the finance side then?” I ask.

“I can handle both,” Noah answers. “Honestly, I’m bored. I could use the added work to keep me busy.”

Dash lets out a chuckle. “Careful, I’ll unload all my work on you.”

“Can you study for a law degree and keep working?” Danny asks.

“With his eyes closed,” Dash mutters.

“Okay, but let me know the second you’re not coping,” Danny tells Noah.

“I will.”

“Also, start looking for a legal assistant,” she instructs Ryker.

“Yes, Ma’am,” he replies, and it has Danny’s eyes snapping to him. She hates when he calls her that. Lifting my hand, I try to hide my grin.

“I’ll demote you so fast your head will be spinning if you dare call me that again,” Danny threatens Ryker.

He lets out a chuckle. “What? Ma’am?”

“Ryker.” She gives him a look of warning, but it has zero effect on him.

“Can’t we promote Dorris to legal assistant and rather get a new PA?” Dash suddenly asks.

Ryker’s gaze snaps to his cousin. “That’s a good idea. She already has an associate's degree in paralegal studies.”

“I know, that’s why I mentioned it,” Dash grins.

Danny’s eyes settle on Dash. “I really think you should take over as CHRO. You’ve got the skills to run human resources.”

Dash’s glances at me, then replies, “Maybe after Jade starts working. Right now, Christopher is swamped.”

“I’m going to hold you to that,” Danny says. “Ryker and I have a business trip coming up in four months.”

“The Africa one?” I ask.

“Yes. The entire continent is open for the taking, so we need to jump on that.”

“And Asia?” I ask.

Danny frowns for a moment, then looks at Ryker. “We’re heading there next June, right?”

“Yes.”

“As long as you’re here for the wedding,” Dash says. “I kind of need you as maid of honor.”

Danny freezes, and then her eyes widen before emotion washes over her face. “Aww… you want me to be your maid of honor?”

Dash gives her a you-must-be-crazy look. “Of course.”

When Danny and Dash hug, I say, “Meeting’s over.”

Chapter 12

DASH

It feels as if I’m living on cloud nine as I walk into the suite at L’Auberge Del Mar.

The past week, staying with Christopher has been a dream. He’s the perfect fiancé. Maybe it’s because he knows what I want from life, but still, he’s amazing.

I especially love how we’ve been tempting each other. I’m pretty sure if I wasn’t spending the weekend with my mom, Aunt Della, Miss Sebastian, and Danny, I would’ve probably jumped him tonight.

There’s only so much a girl can handle, and I’ve passed my limit a couple of days back. I can’t wait to make love to him.

“What are you thinking?” Mom asks.

“Ahh… how stunning this place is,” I lie.

“Sure,” Miss Sebastian teases. “We can all see you’re thinking about your man.”

I let out a burst of laughter. “That obvious?”

Aunt Della grins at me. “We’ve all had that look at some point in our lives.”

“Usually right before we bow-chicka-wow-wow,” My godmother says.

“Mamma G!” I laugh at her while Danny pops a bottle of champagne.

When we all have a glass, Danny holds hers up into the air. “I hope you and my brother will know only happiness and love.”

“Thank you.” Feeling emotional, I take a sip of the bubbly liquid.

“Are we having brunch or looking around?” Mom asks.

“Let’s look around. I want to see if this place is good enough for my godbaby,” Miss Sebastian says.

My eyes drop to the heels she’s wearing. “In those?”

“Oh Jesus, I’m going to sin today,” she gasps. “Don’t you start with me. You know my bedazzled ass will never be seen without heels.”

“I couldn’t resist,” I tease her. Everyone knows not to mess with Miss Sebastian and her high heels. I walk to the door. “Let’s get going.”

As we leave the suite, Aunt Della asks, “What time are we meeting with the wedding coordinator?”

“At two, so we have time,” I reply.

When we get to the lookout point where the actual ceremony will be held, I struggle to hold back my tears.

Danny wraps her arms around my waist. “I’m glad one of us is getting our dream.”
