“I’m not sure he’ll have time for that.”

“Nonsense. We don’t see enough of you as it is. Oh, Jack Prosser’s arrived, and I need to speak to him about next week’s golf tournament.” Daddy patted Joe on the back. “Take care of my daughter, Mr. Streeter.”

“You’ve got my word on that, sir.”

“Happy birthday, Daddy.”

“It’s just another Saturday, pumpkin.”

CHAPTER 17

“PLEASE, DON’T MAKE me go to the gym this morning. My feet hurt and my head hurts more,” I begged Joe.

Following Daddy’s lead last night, I’d hit the red and got more than a little bit drunk while Mother gave me dirty looks from across the room. Or maybe they were aimed at Joe. I’d been too sozzled to focus properly. Ever the hero, my fake boyfriend had scooped me up at the end of the night and carried me to the taxi while my parents looked on.

“I know your mother’s not impressed, but that young man seems far better than the last one,” Daddy had told me as Mother tutted behind him.

And now Joe passed me a glass of orange juice and a packet of paracetamol and pointed at a stool. “Lucky for you, the slave driver is feeling generous. I’m cooking you breakfast instead.”

“Did I tell you what a fantastically amazing boyfriend you make? What did you say to my father, anyway? You really convinced him that you care about me.”

“I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. How about you and your mother? You shot out of that room looking like you wanted to murder someone.”

“Oh, just the usual. I have terrible choice in men, and I look like I’ve put on a few pounds.”

Joe abandoned the eggs he was beating into submission and wrapped me up in his arms. “Don’t let her put you down. You’re the smartest woman I’ve ever met, and you’re beautiful inside and out.”
