145 Celibacy (2/2)
”Neither you, my kitten . ” I shrugged . I didn't want to find that one out .
Sean cleared his throat, visibly embarra.s.sed, but delighted to have caught us in a rare, romantic moment .
We loved the boy .
He was making great progress, taking online cla.s.ses and developing his conventional computing skills . His theoretical knowledge of technology had increased ten folds over the time he started preparing for the education of the world .
As reluctant as Anthony was to let him go, he knew that the day would come soon . Sean had enough money to pull through college, and everyone knew that he had the brains to survive the world . What scared Anthony was that he was going to lose his star . He never failed to remind me how important the boy was to him .
Sometimes, I called him selfish .
Other times, I understood that he processed emotions in a different way . He valued people by their talent, and he held them close to his heart . Competency: that is what he looked for in people who surrounded him . And he was lucky to find it at every turn .
”Speaking of excitement and storms . We have to throw a huge party . . . ”
”Poseidon?” I suggested . He gave me a brilliant smile .
”Yes . In Cienna's absence, you will be looking over every detail . ” I chuckled, shaking my head . ”You are the lady of the house,” he gave me a sly wink .
”Yes, kind sir, I will be a gracious host and take care of your business partners . ”
”Now, you will find all the important faces of the underworld present . They will have different needs that we should cater to . There will be a theme and a grand performance . It will be nothing short of excellent . ” He gave me a pointed look . ”I can count on you . I know . ” The pride in his voice made the b.u.t.terflies in my stomach go wild .
I gave him the s.e.xiest smile I could muster .
”You'd better give me a list before I start working,” I warned him . ”How long do I have?”
”A week,” he informed, somewhat apologetically . ”You can do it . ”
”I know . ”
