“How do you know her?” Zane asked, and Cash could tell by the smirks that went around the room that Zane was interested.
Jett looked at his brother Flynn and smiled.
“We attend a lot of events. She has one this Saturday actually. It’s at the Waldorf Astoria. They’re expecting a huge turnout,” Flynn said.
“We got that invite, remember Zane?” Cash asked him.
“Yeah. I guess we’ll be going. How about you two?” Zane asked Flynn and Jett.
“Probably,” Flynn said as there was a knock at the door. Flynn told the person to come in and Adelina walked in.
The guys all said hello, and Cash laughed as both Flynn and Jett appeared annoyed. Was it him or did Cash’s good friends Jett and Flynn have a thing for Adelina, their club manager? She was a very attractive woman and young. As young as Chastity. And it was strange, but as he thought about Adelina, Chiara popped into his head.
When he and Cash had tried to talk to her later in the night, she gave them the cold shoulder then disappeared. The woman had an attitude. Even that aroused Zane. Tomorrow, they would do a walk-through at the company along with Robert Costiano. Now that should be interesting.
“Hey, just an FYI, the word is that other businessmen are interested in the company,” Jett told Zane and Cash.
“Like who?” Cash asked.
“Men that can put some serious pressure on them. You may have to kick it old-school,” Jett told them.
He wondered if he were talking about the mafia groups. There were the Italians, the Cubans, the Spanish, and the Asians. There were so many of them, and with that key seaport location, even the independents might come snooping.
“It’s got key location for importing. If you know what I mean,” Flynn hinted.
“Yeah, we know that. But since we’re legit and don’t import drugs or illegal contraband, it will be used for shipments of seafood. It’s actually a really smart investment. Zane is considering keeping it,” Cash told them, and they all looked at Zane like he was crazy.
“What do you fucking know about fish?” Jagger asked very seriously.
“I know what I need to know. That’s why you have employees. They run it for you,” Zane replied.
“Is it worth the headache?” Emerson asked.
“I can get Jett, Flynn, Nash, and Riker fresh seafood at family prices for the clubs. How about that?” Zane teased.
“Sounds good, ’cause seafood is fucking expensive and everyone loves
it,” Riker stated.
“Yeah, especially on the hibachi grills Chastity had installed in the tables. Those tables are booked months in advance. It’s nuts,” Nash told them.
“It was brilliant. Chastity is brilliant, that’s what I don’t understand,” Jagger stated.
“What does that mean?” Nash asked.
“Why the fuck is she with you two numb nuts, when she could be with me?”
Jagger ducked as a bowl of pretzels went flying at his head. They all laughed.
Cash’s phone went off and he answered it as they began playing cards.
Cash looked at Zane. “We need to go. There’s a potential situation.”
“What?” Emerson asked.
“Who?” Jett asked.
“Chiara. She’s nowhere to be found and someone threatened to take her.”
