I tipped my head, elevating an eyebrow at him. “Consuming lunch with my boyfriends. Nicely, two of them anyway. Grayson’s in a gathering. Why?”

His eyes nearly bugged out of his head, and he made a choking sound as he spoke. “You may’t be critical. You’re flaunting it now? You may’t do this shit! Everybody is aware of we used to exit! I do not want my identify tied to a whore!”

Bennett’s grip shifted, holding Luka again as he snarled at Alan. “Say that once more, and also you and I are gonna have issues.”

Alan appeared pissed, obtrusive on the three of us, however he appeared to hesitate to say extra whereas each Bennett and Luka have been subsequent to me. I lifted my chin, refusing to let his phrases get to me.

“I haven’t got to tolerate your mistreatment anymore, Alan. Depart me alone, or I’ll report you to HR.”

“There’s no want. He’s proper right here, gentleman.” Grayson appeared out of nowhere, main just a few cops behind him. He gestured to Alan, obtrusive at him. Alan backed away from him, nearly bumping into me earlier than Bennett and Luka moved me out of the best way.

“What the hell is that this? You may’t arrest me as a result of I referred to as her a whore. It’s not unlawful!”

Grayson’s face darkened at Alan’s confession, his palms clenching at his sides, however his voice remained calm and regular. “That’s not unlawful, although it’s a fireable offense. We do not enable harassment right here. No, you’re being arrested for company espionage, amongst different issues. I do know all about the way you’ve been taking recordsdata house and promoting them off. There’s an extended listing of issues I’m going to be urgent prices for.”

My jaw nearly hit the bottom at Grayson’s announcement, and several other gasps went up as your entire cafeteria watched the officers grabbing Alan. He struggled in opposition to them, shouting and throwing his weight round. When Bennett moved to assist them, Grayson put his hand up, shaking his head.

“You’re concerned along with his ex. I don’t need him to have any motive to say you acted vindictively. Safety is on the best way to assist. They’ll deal with Alan.”

Turning to me, he cupped my cheek, his expression critical. “Are you alright?”

I nodded. “Stunned, certain. However I’m okay. I do know higher than to hearken to him anymore. I’d relatively hearken to you as a substitute.”

That made Grayson grin, and he leaned to whisper in my ear. “Maintain being such an excellent woman, and I’ll should reward you later.”

Biting my lip, I fought again a snicker. “Is {that a} promise?”

He hummed his acknowledgement, nipping evenly on my earlobe earlier than straightening once more. “My place after work. Technically, it’s my night time, however I could be satisfied to share so long as everybody will get their work carried out.”

Luka snorted. “Attempt to cease us from being there, asshole.”

Grayson simply winked, making me wish to soften. I won’t survive this relationship, however I used to be going to take pleasure in each single second till I self combusted from the fixed pleasure.

Chapter Fifty

JULIE

The rumors about Alan’s arrest have been so scandalous, nobody appeared to pay any consideration to my relationship. It went straight from information to outdated information, which was a aid. I acquired just a few appears each from time to time, however nobody stated something about it. In all probability as a result of if any of the blokes caught anybody staring, they’d stage them with a glare and shut them up earlier than they’d an opportunity to say something.

“Is that all the pieces?”

“No, we’ve acquired just a few extra.”

“Is there nonetheless room within the van?”

I poked my head out of my room, watching the blokes argue about the remainder of the packing containers. After too many arguments about who was staying the place, and whose night time it was, Grayson determined one of the best ways to repair the scenario was to purchase a brand new place for all of us. An enormous penthouse not removed from work, with rooms for every of us after we wanted time alone, and beds large enough to suit all 4 of us in each room. It was a lavish expense, however with an organization growth and plans to open up a European workplace, Grayson was in such an excellent temper he determined to reward himself by having his household all collectively.

When he stated it like that, I instantly began crying. We’d been going sturdy for just a few months, and I beloved every one in all them, however I typically nonetheless felt egocentric for demanding consideration from all three of them. The truth that he considered us as a household settled a deep nervousness of mine, and I spent an excellent lengthy whereas sobbing in opposition to his chest. Luka gave him shit for making me cry, however Bennett simply sat down beside us and rubbed my again till I used to be calm sufficient to talk. Which led to me thanking Grayson in probably the most artistic manner I may consider. In fact, Bennett and Luka weren’t going to be neglected, so it simply led to a different wild night time of all 4 of us collectively. Grayson was now not standoffish in regards to the 4 of us, since he acquired his alone time with me every time he wanted it. I used to be past proud of the best way our relationship labored.

Bennett observed me watching them and wandered over, urgent a candy kiss to my lips. “Nearly carried out?”

I nodded. “Yep. Simply doing a closing verify. Did you and Luka end his place?”

He bobbed his head. At this time wasn’t simply transferring day for me. Bennett moved in with Grayson a couple of week in the past, largely to keep away from working into Alan, who was out on bail. Luka and I have been fast to observe, so we break up off into teams to complete issues up and so they met us right here to assist me once they have been by way of.

Grabbing my purse, I laced my fingers with Bennett’s and led him again down the corridor. It was a bit of overwhelming to see my condominium empty, however I lastly acquired to maneuver in with my boyfriends, and I used to be excited to get going.

“The owner stated to only go away the keys on the counter. He already signed off in your paperwork,” Grayson commented as he picked up the final field. Luka sat on the island, his legs swinging as he munched on an apple he’d introduced with him.
