Chapter Nine

“You have been sulking around here over the last few days, but you still haven’t told me why,” Eden said. “Does this have anything to do with Quentin?”

Phoebe glanced at Eden. They were inside their three-bedroom Lincoln Park condo.

“How am I sulking? This,” Phoebe pointed to the papers strung all over her desk, “is called working from home. It has never been more difficult for me to find the dirt I need on a corporation. There are definitely some higher-ups covering for the defense.”

Phoebe took her eyes over the paper she’d been staring at for the last forty-five minutes. As a lead attorney at Rose and Garnett LLC, Phoebe didn’t get too many chances to take a load off and enjoy the fruits of her labor, which is another reason why Phoebe was completely annoyed. She’d managed to set aside time to take off, to enjoy the holiday season with her family. But the only thing she could manage to do currently was think about the way Quentin had dissed her at the gym.

She sighed and sat the pen down that she’d been tumbling through her fingers and stared over at her sister.

“Are you telling me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?” Eden said.

Phoebe smirked. “Why don’t you just come right out and ask me whatever it is you’re thinking about?”

“Is Quentin partially to blame?”

“As much as you talk about how much of a dog Quentin is, you are always talking about him.”

“Because I know you have a crush on him, and you’re the happy triplet, so to see you sad makes me think he’s done something.”

Phoebe sighed. “You know, for someone who is so judgmental, you tend to forget that Derek James Clark is not a good boy either. You know what they say, birds of a feather flock together.”

Eden plopped down into the chair next to Phoebe. It was true, Derek James Clark and Quentin Davidson had been best friends since junior high school. Both men grew into their own successful entrepreneurs after receiving their bachelor degrees from Harvard University alongside Jonathon and Jacob Rose. As they received their degrees and accolades, they also received their playboy reputations. But for Phoebe, it was almost as if Eden had forgotten that she was in strong like with Quentin’s best friend.

“You’re right. Sometimes, I think I talk about Quentin to deflect from my own issues,” Eden said.

“Issues?” Phoebe inquired.

“Yeah. It’s a serious issue when you start to feel like a person who has a reputation of being a hound dog has become the fantasy of all of your dreams.”

Phoebe nodded. “Fantasy would be right.”

“Sorry, sis,” Eden said. “It is easier for me to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be doing with Quentin than it is for me to heed my own advice. You would think with us being super smart that we would have a clue.”

Phoebe cracked a smile. The girls had graduated from high school at the age of sixteen and went straight to college.
