CHAPTER SIX
That evening, Alejandro stared straight ahead at the stretch of highway ahead of him as he drove Olivia to the barbecue, which was hosted by Masonâs family. Losing the investor was nothing more than a setback.
Still, if heâd had a shred of a hint that the deal wouldnât go through, he wouldnât have brought everyone to the winery. He wouldâve come up with some other way to celebrate the brides and grooms, but he certainly wouldnât have dragged everyone out in the middle of all the wedding festivities had he known that the vineyard might not be his. Or at least he wouldnât have announced that it was his new venture. But after the sting of the setback had subsided a bit, his mind turned to more constructive thoughts: getting replacement funds.
Before theyâd boarded the bus to leave for Austin, heâd asked Gerald Robinson if he could meet with him on Monday morning after the wedding because he wanted to present an investment opportunity in Hummingbird Ridge. It was a long shot, but Robinson hadnât cut him off at the knees. Instead, heâd dug around in his wallet and come up with a business card.
âCall my assistant and tell her I told you to set up a meeting.â He hadnât asked any questions or expressed any interest; heâd just walked away and gotten on the bus.
Immediately, Alejandro had excused himself and had gone back inside the winery and placed the call. Before the bus had left Hummingbird Ridge, he had an appointment with Robinson on the books at three oâclock Monday afternoon. Heâd have to change his flight back to Miami from Monday to Tuesday, but it was a small price to pay for possibly saving the winery purchase.
The biggest problem was whether or not to tell Olivia he was meeting with her father.
He remembered what sheâd said about the guys who had used her to get to Gerald. He didnât want her to get the wrong idea, that he was using her. Sure, they werenât dating, but after weighing it, he thought it was best not to involve her so that she wouldnât feel obligated.
He kept hearing her say, I owe you. Iâll make it up to you, after heâd agreed to help her with her plan to make Sophie think Olivia believed in love.
He didnât want her to feel beholden. Plus, he really didnât want to get into the details of how the deal was hanging by a thread. Not when it came to a business deal of this magnitude. If Gerald said no, that would be the end of it. Sheâd never know. If he said yes, he would tell Olivia.
âDo you want to talk about whatever is on your mind?â Olivia asked from beside him in his car.
He slanted a glance at her, but returned his focus to the road.
He had worked damn hard to keep his poker face in place. He hadnât wanted to spoil the festivities. Obviously he hadnât been as good at hiding his frustration as heâd intended.
