Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 194

"I can't go into game night without my best partner. What do you say?"

I took a deep breath. Elise's eyes were full of hope and encouragement and I knew I wouldn't let her down. "Whose arse will we be kicking first then?" I wasn't okay. I was far from it, but I was better, just knowing these guys had my back.

As we headed into the living room, Kyle put his hand on my shoulder and stayed me. "There's something I've been wanting to discuss with you. Can you come by my office tomorrow?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Alright, good. Well then, I believe it is my ass you will first attempt to kick, so let's get on with it."

I wasn't sure anything would pull me out of the despair of dealing with my father, but leave it to my mate and her siblings to change my mood. A couple dozen rounds of video games with Chase as my partner helped a ton. It was hard to be angry or upset with that kid around, especially when we were winning.

The night ended much too soon, but I felt a lot more at peace by the end of it. It made me realize that Elise and I already had a life here. Yeah, sure, maybe it wasn't conventional to stay in her territory, but I could try to make it work. I definitely needed to find a job. The Westin Foundation was the most lucrative and best option. I knew they'd give me something even if I wasn't qualified, and that made the Irish pride in me consider other options before resorting to asking Elise for help. I decided after my meeting with Kyle the next morning, I would head into town and see if any of the shops were hiring. It wasn't much but anything would be better than nothing at this point.

"Are you okay?" Elise asked, once the others had left.
