Chapter 599

• Arrick slumped into the low couch under the naked lesbian painting by Hunter’s cousin. He wasn’t that enamored with it, but the fifty grand he’d paid to give the guy a helping hand meant he had to hang it somewhere. He sure as hell didn’t want it at home, and no one ventured in here much except Margo and now this new girl. The New York skyline was getting an unobstructed view of tits and ass, anyway.
• His phone vibrated in his inner jacket pocket, and he pulled it out, still practically ignoring Margo as she read from a clipboard. All he could hear was “meeting” “lawyers” and something about contracts. This was not him at all, and he realized that fighting it was futile. Soon as this was done, he was closing the door and taking a nap. Arrick looked ready to do the same, and he could move the hell over on that couch. Soldier boy could guard the sleeping duo if he had nothing better to do.
• “Shall I get her?” Margo blinked his way as he focused on his phone. He waved a hand and smiled as if to say sure.
