Chapter 83
ASHLEY
"How’s everything on the home front?" Levon mutters to me after we wrap up our board meeting. I survey the thinning room till my assistant, Lexi, shuts the door behind her and sigh exasperatedly.
"Good. Thanks for the last time. Turns out I was worried for nothing."
"Really?"
"Yep. Wife was a little stressed and confided in my brother. Paranoid, I misconstrued the situation. We’ve managed to work out our issues. It’s our five months anniversary in a few days and she’s excited to celebrate our love."
Levon nods with a smile. "Amazing. Happy for you."
"What about you, Levon? How’s the girlfriend or wife?"
"Girlfriend. She’s great. Got a new job. Coupled with the hours I spend here, we barely see each other now but when we do, fireworks." He finishes with a dramatic flash of hands. "I’m really happy for you, boss. Love looks really good on you."
"Thanks, Levon."
"Can I expect to be a godfather soon with rumors in the air?" The nasty wink he gives me makes me chuckle.
"Very confident of you to assume you’ll be my kid’s godfather. I’ve got three brothers that’ll jostle for that position in a bloodbath. Thanks for the thought though. Now, get back to the job I hired you for while I am still being nice." We exchange smiles as he makes his way out of my boardroom.
