Miss Bancroft has been delivered to your penthouse as requested, sir.

At last. The text I’d been waiting for. The second I’d left Athena in the restroom, I’d put the wheels in motion. No backing out now. Not that I had any intentions of changing my mind. The roller coaster had left the station, and I was gonna ride that baby all the way to the finish line. I’d figure out how to deal with the Elliot situation, but I’d given up fighting the inevitable. Athena believed we were meant to be together and, finally, I’d capitulated and admitted she’d been right all along.

I slipped my phone from my pocket and sent Athena a text. Wait for me. I shouldn’t be long. Keep the dress on.

Three dots instantly appeared. Yes, sir.

A thrill of pleasure shot into my bloodstream, making a beeline for my groin. I glanced down, checking my suit jacket was securely fastened. All good. I stepped up to the mic that had been set up on the stage and tapped it. The room gradually fell silent.

“Thank you all so much for coming this evening. I won’t keep you too long from the festivities. I just wanted to say, on behalf of me and the entire ROGUES board, that we recognize and appreciate the contribution each and every one of you make to the success of our company. We’re enormously grateful for your dedication, hard work, and loyalty. Without you all, our company wouldn’t be the thriving entity that it is.”

I held up my glass of scotch. “Enjoy the break with your family and friends. I look forward to working with you all in the New Year and ensuring ROGUES continues to flourish. To your health and happiness. Oh, and one more thing before I go… the free bar will remain open until the last person leaves.”

A huge cheer went up around the room. I grinned and stepped down, bumping straight into Elliot.

“Thank fuck you like doing that shit and you’re good at it.”

“Gee, thanks,” I drawled. “That almost sounded like a compliment.”

Elliot grinned. “Hey, have you seen Athena?”

My pulse juddered, but I kept my expression smooth and nonchalant. “Not recently.”

“Hmm.” Elliot glanced around. “I haven’t seen her all evening, apart from when she first arrived.”

“Seen who?” Oliver asked, joining us.

“Athena. I’m worried that I haven’t seen her for a while.”

“Oh.” Oliver’s gaze briefly caught mine, and a silent understanding passed between us. “I saw her a few minutes ago with that guy she came with and a few of the girls from the sales department. She’s fine, Elliot. Let her be.”

“I’m allowed to worry,” Elliot said, looking more than a little put out.

“She’s twenty-four, not a child,” Oliver scoffed. “Jeez, go find Brie and stick your tongue down her throat instead of bugging Athena. I’m surprised the girl can breathe. No wonder she fucked off for six months.”

Elliot’s jaw tightened. “Wait until Annie hits puberty. Then you’ll understand.”

“Annie is my seven-year-old daughter. Athena is your adult sister. There’s more
