Pearl was right. My outfit blended well at the country bar among the other men. The only difference between me and them, was I probably could buy the bar, pay each man and woman in here at least a year’s salary, and call it a day without blinking an eye.

I scanned the crowded bar for Chelsea, since she and her friends arrived earlier for trivia. I wasn’t about to sit in for that, and told them I’d meet up later, but I didn’t count on Brooks being here. He laughed at me as I approached.

“Well Goddamn, Rex—Buchanan Energy already owns the East. Are you looking to win the West, too?” He snickered.

“Yeah, keep laughing asshat. At least I tried to fit in.” Although eyeing his casual jeans and black t-shirt, I was a little jealous. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here with Maisy.” He took a swig of his beer.

“Does that mean you have no designs on Chelsea?”

“She’s all about you, my friend. You’re all she could talk about during trivia.” He rolled his eyes and took a swig of his beer.

Smiling inwardly, I could strike Brooks off my list of competitors for Chelsea’s affection. “Look, I like her, and how many women have I said that about or gone to bed with more than once?”

He studied my face for a moment. “You serious about her?”

My eyebrows shot up to my hairline at that news. “Yeah, so I’m not going to be that asshole who takes it from her unless it means something. I’m taking this one slow.”

I nodded, completely understanding. “And how’s Archer?”

He blew out air while shaking his head. “Back to the same old. Annette’s got him in her claws, and already playing her games with him. Fucking bitch.”

“Do we all need to pitch in and hire someone to off her?” I joked, sort of, and Brooks laughed and slapped my back. I hated to see what this awful woman had done to one of my friends. When she and Archer first met at a sustainable building materials convention, I wouldn’t say it was love at first sight, but they start hot and fast. Little did Archer know then how toxic the woman was. We all could see it, but first love blinded him.

“It’s not a bad idea, but I think Archer is getting tired of her and starting to see he deserves better. I’ll keep you posted.” He lifted his chin, looking over my shoulder and I turned with a double take, finding Chelsea coming toward me looking hotter than hell.

Her tight jeans showed off curvy hips as she sashayed toward me. In a yellow
