" And don't be mad.. but.. all of his associates, even Vincent himself, were in favor, but... ultimately Beckham had the final decision. " She whispered, and I clenched my hands into fists. Had the man focused on anything.. anything but me, he would see how much potential this place has and how he could gain so much profit and exposure.. I felt defeated. However, Kira was still bouncing up and down as if she had something else to say.
