A Merger by Marriage (Las Vegas Nights 2)
Page 61
“With Brent at the helm, Stone Properties will be in good hands. And I’m not really a sit-in-an-office-and-do-nothing-but-read-reports-and-make-policies kind of guy. I like the pulse of Las Vegas and have decided whatever else I do, here’s where my headquarters will be.”
Violet frowned. “That’s all well and good, but what happens if I win Grandfather’s contest and take over Fontaine Resorts and Hotels? I’ll have to move to New York City. What becomes of us then?”
JT had never considered that possibility. It wasn’t that he lacked faith in Violet’s abilities to do the job or her grandfather’s shortsightedness in not recognizing her talents, but she’d always seemed as much a part of Las Vegas as the strip itself.
“I guess I’ll have to rethink my plans.”
Her eyes softened. “You’d do that for me?”
“Did you not hear me when I said I can’t live without you?”
She snuggled closer and kissed his lips. “Then you’ll be happy to know that we’ll be living together in Las Vegas. I spoke with Grandfather and bowed out of the CEO race.”
“Why did you do that?”
“Because I made you my priority. Whatever you want to do, wherever you want to go, I intend to be by your side supporting you.”
“I feel the same way.”
She laughed. “Then I guess we’re pretty lucky that we both love Las Vegas so much because this is where we’re going to raise our children and grow old together.”
Her vision of their future was so much better than any he’d ever dreamed of. Gone were the shadows that had kept him from believing he deserved to be happy. Violet’s love had banished every one.
JT’s arms tightened around her. “I can’t imagine anything better than that.”
