Felicia walked forward, her expression cold and unreadable.
Her assistant noticed and hurried to follow, quickly opening the office door so Felicia could go in ahead.
Holden sat back, watching the door close behind her. A sly curve played at his lips as he laughed quietly to himself before going back to the sofa and settling in.
One hour passed.
The office door swung open.
Jeremy and Felicia stepped out together. Jim looked up and said, “Mr. Milman, Evelynn, I can have someone arrange dinner for tonight.”
Jeremy shook his head politely. “Thanks, but we have things to take care of today. Another time.”
Jim let it go. “Alright. Just let me know.”
Jeremy and Felicia walked out without even glancing in Holden’s direction.
Once they were gone, Holden made his way over to Jim, a faint smile on his face. “Sounds like you and Mr. Milman had a good meeting.”
Jim gestured for him to come in. “Let’s talk inside.”
Meanwhile, Felicia and Jeremy headed downstairs. As they crossed the lobby, Darin appeared and, spotting them, walked over with long steps. “Mr. Milman. Evelynn.”
Jeremy nodded in greeting.
Darin eyed Jeremy. “Everything wrapped up?”
The two exchanged a few quick pleasantries.
Felicia simply stood by and listened, quiet. They didn’t act like rivals at all.
The small talk didn’t last long.
Jeremy finally said, “We’ll get going. Don’t want to keep you, Mr. Foxhall.”
Darin nodded and stepped aside for them.
Felicia glanced over. “Holden must have known that Roen Capital and the Curtis family were working together ahead of time. Does Jim not know about you and Holden’s history?”
Jeremy’s tone was cool and detached. “Jim would like to play peacemaker.”
Felicia frowned, looking unconvinced. “They really are ambitious.”
Jeremy and Holden would never get along. There was no fixing that.
Felicia leaned her head back on the seat. “If the Curtis family really pushes for Andrea and Holden’s marriage, will Darin go along with it?”
She didn’t really care who Andrea ended up with, but the business implications would definitely impact Roen Capital.
Darin was fiercely protective of his little sister. Even if it didn’t hurt him directly, there was no way he’d just watch her end up with Holden.
And there’s also Max. He’d be the last to accept it.
If Andrea and Holden really became a couple, it would turn into the kind of drama everyone in their world would talk about, the kind that upended everything and disgusted more than a few people.
