EPILOGUE
SEBASTIAN
Three weeks later
––––––––
We’ve had my in-lawsstaying with us for forty-eight hours, and I’m ready to throttle Roger Harper.For some insane reason, Emily wanted them to stay with us instead of a five-star hotel.
I even offered to put them up in a penthouse suite at the Dufort Hotel.
Emily said she needed her mom close.
God, the things I do for this woman.
Fortunately, they fly home tomorrow after our engagement party tonight, which is in full swing.
“Snagged yourself a rich man, aye, Emily.Smart.Now you don’t have to work.”I heard Roger say last night.
Dick.
“First, Dad, that’s a crass thing to say.You are disrespecting my future husband and my relationship.I love Sebastian, no matter what his bank balance is.”
“Yeah, right.”The man laughed.
I leaned on the wall outside the guest bedroom, where they were all chatting.If he pushed her further, I’d intervene, but Emily was learning to speak up for herself, and I needed to let her do this.
“I am continuing to grow my career, and Sebastian is very supportive of that,” Em said, and I was so damn proud.
“He’s making you work?That’s not on.”
I almost heard her eye roll.
Emily shared her green plans, as Khalid called them, with me one night.It meant a redesign to create green spaces inside the complex.
Once we got the plans back and I approved, we went down to the protesters, where I met with Gordon Fanning and told him what we were doing.
Not only did it put them to rest, but it also got some great press coverage.Then Khalid phoned me and wanted to reinvest.
Since then, Emily has started studying urban planning.She has a real passion for it and asked if she could learn from my team.
