Chapter Ten

“Well, since most of the board members have agreed, we’ll hold the annual party in three months,” Uncle Horace said, and most of the men around the long oval table nodded. “Thank you, everyone.”

They began to stand and leave the table. Theo curled his fingers into a fist, annoyance stiffening his muscles. Sure, his uncle wanted the excuse of a party because he’d probably pocket a large sum of money. Not because he gave a shit about the employees or their quality of life. To make matters worse, his father hadn’t attended the meeting. He had to go to a doctor’s appointment he couldn’t miss.

“This is bullshit,” he said to his brother, who had arrived late into the meeting.

“Calm down, Theo,” Kostas said, glancing around as more people left the conference room. “You’ll get control over the company soon. I mean, if you don’t change the original plan.”

“What are you talking about?” Theo said, stretching to his full height. He hadn’t had the chance to talk to his brother about him meeting Amaya yet. And he sure as hell wouldn’t do it until they were alone.

“Calm down, brother.” Kostas lifted his hands in surrender. “Mama told me about an American girl living at your house, and I went to see her. I knew if I asked you, you’d tell me off.”

“Skata. God damn right I would.”

“Well, Amaya Lopez is an amazing woman. From the few minutes I talked to her, I could see why you’ve invited her for a, hmm, vacation.”

“What’s he talking about?” Horace asked behind them.

Fuck. Theo turned to face his uncle, who angled closer. How much had he heard? Enough to use it against him. “None of your business, Horace,” Theo said dismissively. “Just a mutual acquaintance.”

His uncle’s eyebrows furrowed, and he perched his hand at his belt. “Of course.” The lines of his face softened, and he tapped Theo’s shoulder. “Boys will be boys.”

Boys will be boys? “And men will be men,” Kostas said in a snarky voice. “Most of the time, anyway.” Had his brother finally manned up enough to say something remotely snarky to his uncle?

Horace lifted his chin but didn’t say anything.

“Why are you being so abrasive to Uncle Horace lately?” Kostas asked him, tilting his head to the side.

“Are you serious? After everything he’s done? Just because we don’t have proof doesn’t mean I’m blind,” Theo said. He’d had it with the unaccounted for spending, the constant cut in employee benefits or even overall customer experience. While he encouraged all these cuts, Horace’s personal wealth continued to grow—without any explanation.

Kostas squeezed his shoulder, speaking in a low voice. “I know, brother. Soon you’ll marry Talia and all this will be behind you. But until then, there’s no need for bad blood.”

Theo looked at his brother, internally applauding his sense of diplomacy. Kostas was four years younger than he, but times like this he acted more mature and collected. Maybe because Kostas had always lived with their parents—and been always around more mature folks.
