Possessive: At Her Masters Side (Kingswood Saga Book 5) Completed

15. Geneva

I settle back in my chair and close my eyes, the call from Hunter had been unexpected and I had lost my temper with him, hanging up before I said something we would both regret.  I have never allowed him or Max to tell me what to do and I'm not going to start now.
Phoning Max back I needed to find out what had set Hunter off, how did they know about he club job anyway.
I could hear murmuring in the background and knew they had gone to New York on business, so why would Hunter phone in the middle of a meeting.
When Max mentioned Henry, I knew who had told Hunter, but why, why would he do that?
"Max pass the phone to Henry" I asked and waited till I heard Henry's deep voice.
"Geneva?"
"Henry, what in the world is going on?" I groan and he laughs.
"Your brothers, The Washington brothers and myself and Alex have a resort island, today we have agreed the architects and I suggested we consider you as the designer, I've seen the club designs and they are fantastic" He tells me softly.
I feel my heart swell at his words, then realise what he's done.  "You suggested me, not the twins" I query.
"Yes, I did.  Tristan Washington will contact your office with the details about the island and the architects outlines, I believe you could do an incredible design for it" He tells me and i sigh, knowing my brothers will be a pain to deal with now.
"Henry... you know this will make things difficult" i whisper "My brothers will.." i trails off, not knowing how to tell him what they are like.
"Don't worry, I will talk to your brothers" He says before, adding, "See you soon" and I end the call.
Groaning I wonder how long it will take for the family bush telegraph to share this news, and who would call first.
Knock knock.
"Hey Jayne, what can I do for you?" I ask, pushing aside the call.
"I've just had an email from Nigel, they love the designs and want to arrange a briefing meeting to get everything started.  Nigel's, given me some dates that they are available, are you happy for me to go ahead and book it?"
"Yes, that's fine" i tell her.  "Make sure it's both of us attending, you will be the contact point with James for any equipment, maybe get him at the meeting as well" I remind her and she grins happily at me and I laugh, she's crushing on James and has been very happy with chasing him down with queries.
"Will do Boss, now who was that I heard you shouting at earlier?"
"My older brothers, They have just found out about the club job and thrown a fit about it, oh, and Henry, not my brothers have suggested me for an island retreat job"
Jayne dropped into the chair and looked at me.
"Henry recommended you, this island, is it a big job?" She asks and I nod.
"My brothers are part investors, I knew they had a project in the pipeline but it's still early stages, they were talking about it at the family dinner last week, but it's seems the investment is along with Henry and Alex and three American brothers, they have brought an island and want to make a special retreat, I think they were choosing the architects at this meeting.  I didn't know they knew each other, and if Henry even hints at their interest in me, my brothers will be a nightmare" I moan.
"So, boyfriends and brothers aside" she held her hand up as I started to object to the boyfriend label. "How do we find out about the island job" she asks.
"Henry said that Tristan Washington will be contact the office with details, we will have to see if anything comes of it, or if my brothers interfere" I warn her, not wanting to get my hopes up to much.
"Damn, are they likely to?" She questions.
"Who knows, depends what else Henry tells them I suppose, but if they do, I'll sic mom and Paris on them" I say with a grin, imaging how they would take it.
"Now, let's get this meeting sorted, then we can start getting the supplies together, we can start bringing the furniture into the warehouse and we need to get the custom work ordered as soon as possible"
"Yes boss" she grinned and went back to her office.
My eyes were drawn to the designs sat on the drafting desk, it was an eye catching display and I was nervously proud of it, but their promise hung over the whole project. Would they stay out of the way during the build, how involved did they want to be... how could I keep from letting them in, especially now Henry had done this.
I felt another chink in my armour against them as I think about Henry believing in me and my work.
I just hoped my brothers didn't decide to do anything stupid, like beat him up, my mind flashing back to another time they came home with bruised knuckles and satisfied grins.
