need a drink already so it's already going to be really hard for me to wait till after the photo shoot. Right, girls?" He looked at Imogen and Gemma, and they both nodded.
"I love day drinking," Imogen said, and I just groaned.
"Fine. We can go after the photo shoot, but I'm going to have one drink, and then I'm going to come back to work. If you guys want to go out after work is done, then we can go again."
"Bitch," Kevin said, "you'll come back to work and we'll still be at the bar. You come and meet us again when you're done, okay?"
"Fine," I said with a laugh. "Now girls, please put on your bikinis and let's get ready. I've got a feeling that this is going to take a while." I walked over to the side of the room and saw that my phone was beeping. It was Henrietta. I'd sent her a message to tell her about the previous night because I hadn't been able to wait for a phone call. She was dying to talk to me, but I could not talk to her right now because we needed to have a very, very long conversation. I needed to get her opinion on everything that had gone down the night before, but I'd have to wait till later. Right now, the photo shoot for In Vogue was the most important, and even though I had a feeling it was going to suck, it had to be done.
Chapter 19
Ethan
"So grateful you could join me for lunch, Ethan." Harry stood up as I entered the restaurant. "Good to see you, old man."
"Wow, you're my older brother so if I'm old, I don't know what that says about you and I am working now. I can't just leave the office whenever I feel like it."
"True, true," Harry grinned. "I guess that means lunch is on me today."
"I guess so," I laughed as I sat down. "Haven't been in a place like this for a couple of weeks now."
"So you really are living off the salary we're paying you at the realtors?" Harry looked surprised.
"Yeah, that was the deal, right?"
"But they're barely paying you anything. That's a pittance."
"I know. Trust me." I shook my head. "It's been a bit rough. I'm not going to lie, but I'm doing it."
"Wow, you really don't want to work for the family company, do you?" Harry picked up the menu and then handed it to me. "Here, get whatever you want. Found out anything yet, or is it still too soon?"
"Harry, c'mon now. Don't you have faith in your little brother? I'm a genius. Of course, I found something out."
"Really?" He was impressed. "You have the answer to all our questions already?"
"Well, I didn't say I have the answer to all our questions, I said I found some information out." I looked at the menu. Everything looked good.
"I think I might get some pizza," Harry said. "Want to share one?"
"No, I had pizza yesterday," I laughed, thinking back to my time in the park with Molly. I smiled thinking about the night afterwards. Good times.
"What's so funny?" Harry said.
"Nothing." I looked at him innocently. "Why?"
"Because you just had the weirdest look on your face as you talked about the pizza."
"I'm not sure why. My roommate and I just shared some pizza in the park."
"Your female roommate?" Harry raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"It's nothing like that," I shook my head. "She wanted to go over the rules of the apartment. You know how it goes with these women."
"Oh yeah, I know," Harry groaned. "Sarah has got so many rules it's unbelievable. You'd think I joined the Army or something."
"That doesn't surprise me. Sarah knows you well, and she needs to keep you in check."
"Well, it sounds like your new roommate, what's her name again?"
"Molly."
"Well okay, Molly, huh? Well, it sounds like your new roommate Molly has you in the Army too."
"Yeah. That's what she thinks," I laughed. "So do you want to hear the news or what," I said, trying to change the subject. I definitely did not want to talk to my brother about Molly. I did not want him to find out what had gone on. He would definitely, definitely have something to say to me about it if he knew.
"Wow, you're trying to change the subject awfully fast," he said suspiciously. "Did something happen with you and that roommate of yours?"
"No. Why would you ask that?"
"Because I'm your big brother and I
