Chapter Eleven

David’s back didn’t hurt at all in the morning, making him wonder if it really had. He was second-guessing every feeling, every decision. Sophie had knocked him to the ground. Literally, figuratively, in every way possible. She was a mass of contradictions he couldn’t wrap his head around.

She was mad because he got her a car he couldn’t fit in, yet a few days later, she was evicting him from her life. He’d been more intimate with her than he’d ever been with a woman, yet she accused him of rejecting her. She’d said no more touching, then she hadn’t kept her hands off him. Not that he’d minded in the slightest.

Maybe she was playing a game with him, jerking him around for sport. Maybe this is what she did, why she’d gone out on so many dates last year. It was easily a different guy each week, sometimes two. He knew she’d dated. Craig had told him as much. What the hell was “I waited for you” supposed to mean anyway?

He shoved his hands deeper in his coat pockets and willed himself to pay attention. Deepening the real estate portfolio for SGI had been his idea completely, and he couldn’t even focus long enough to make it through a presentation. He’d barely even greeted the three friends he’d asked to come observe. Hopefully, they were too busy listening to details to notice how off he was.

The acquisitions director of SGI led David and six board members around the perimeter of the Taylor Center. The high-rise housed Strong Gym’s downtown location at street level, with offices, including eight floors of SGI’s corporate headquarters, on the seventeen floors above.

Two years ago, when he’d taken control of the company, he’d decided SGI should buy the building instead of continuing to lease the space. Broadening the company through real estate hadn’t been a popular idea with the older board members, but now that their holdings included seven high-rises in three states, the board was starting to sit up and take notice of the growing profit margin.

Not that he needed their approval anymore. For the first deal, his father had run interference and called in favors to get approval for the sale. But now, for the first time since his grandfather had taken on partners, a single person held the majority of the company shares and made the decisions. Him.

He’d achieved his career goal. There were still projects he wanted to accomplish, but his main objective of acquiring majority control of SGI was complete. It was time to reevaluate where he wanted the company to go. David was never satisfied with more of the same.

Expanding the company’s real estate investments was his mark on the corporation. He’d thought it would keep him sharp, striving for the next deal, but it had fallen a little flat, which was why he’d called a few friends to get their opinions. All of them were on their phones, whether from presentation boredom or because they had their own companies to run, he didn’t know.
