Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

“Exactly,” Theodore added. “Mr. Flynn, just say the word.”

Xander and Theodore took turns speaking, and a wave of gratitude warmed Eric’s heart. After a brief pause, he nodded. “Alright.” He turned to Hadley. “Hadley, can Xander and Theodore stay here to keep an eye on things? Noreen made it clear she’s not done yet!

Joy couldn’t be put at risk, especially with her surgery approaching.
