Chapter Seventeen

Settled onto the couch, Remmy began playing her game again, unaware of the significance of what she had interrupted. Finn’s shirt looked like an oversized dress on her tiny frame, even the short sleeves were down around her wrists.

Finn half-wanted to strangle the little goblin and half-wanted to thank her. He glanced at Mila’s flush face. She was draining the last of her beer, although her eyes gazed sidelong at him. After the bottle came away from her lips, she smiled.

No one had ever seen his fears like she had, and she still wanted more of him. Maybe he had been selling himself short. He would work hard to be the man she believed him to be. On that note, he decided they should get back to the matter they had been discussing earlier.

“How would we go about buying the building?” he asked and sipped from his bottle.

“I have no idea,” Mila said, more comfortable now that he was moving the conversation along. “I winged it with the condo. We need someone who knows how to even begin.”

“Squee chir chi,” Penny said from her lap, glancing between Mila and Finn.

Finn raised an eyebrow. “You have a personal assistant?”

“Personal assistant?” Mila mimicked, looking at Penny. “You have a personal assistant?”

“Shir shee shee. Chi chi.”

Finn laughed, and Mila waited for a translation. “She hired an assistant for us. Technically, they work for the goldmine we set up. Her name is Grace, and she’s been helping Penny acquire some hard-to-find gear.” He pulled out his phone and handed it to Penny, who navigated the menus and pulled up the contact, which was already entered in his phone. He took it and raised an eyebrow. “She knows who I am?”

Penny nodded and pointed to Mila. “Shee shir.”

“She said you have this Grace’s contact info on your phone as well.”

Mila pulled her phone from her pocket and scrolled it as Finn composed a text. He appreciated being able to communicate without having to talk in person. He mouthed words as he thumbed the screen, so they would know what he was typing. “Hello, Grace. This is Finn. Penny said she hired you to be our assistant. I need to find out how to buy our condo building and all the condos in it right away.” He hit send, put the phone down, and grinned. “Probably won’t hear back for a whi—”

The phone chimed. He glanced at a reply. “Hello, Finn. Good to meet you! Penny has said great things. I can start the paperwork to buy the building and set up a negotiation for the price with the owners. What is the max you want to spend?”

He stared at the screen. “Well, shit. That was fast.” He replied he would leave the amount up to her, but he would like to get the building quick as possible.

Penny gave him a smug look. “Squee chi, shir?”

“You’re right. She’s good. We should have hired her a long time ago.” He gave her a fist bump.

“I still can't believe you hired an assistant.
