Snowbound Surprise for the Billionaire

‘There’s a rival?’

‘There’re several, but only the one we need worry about.’

‘Will this rival get a jump on you? Should we be worried?’

His eyes suddenly blazed and one of his hands clenched. ‘I say bring it on. The harder and the dirtier the battle, the more satisfying it’ll be.’

Really?

‘Regardless of the cost, Addie, this is one battle I mean to win.’

She swallowed. Right.

‘The upshot of the meeting is that there’s been a delay in processing probate.’

The one thing Addie had fathomed from the meeting was that the person who’d owned the premises that housed the brewery and beer hall had recently died. Hence the reason the property would soon be on the market. The probate referred to the reading of this man’s will so his estate could be finalised.

‘Herr Gunther will try to draw that delay out for as long as he can, but we’re not going to let him.’

That made them sound thrillingly powerful and masterful. She clapped her hands. ‘So?’

He raised an eyebrow. ‘So?’

‘What next? Do we head over to these Schubert, Schuller and Schmidt’s of yours and come up with a game plan?’

‘They already have my instructions. You, Adelaide Ramsey, have the rest of the day off to do whatever you want.’

Really? That was the entirety of her work for the day?

‘Go out and explore. Sightsee.’ He glanced up when she didn’t move. ‘If I need you I have your mobile number. I’ll call you if something comes up.’

Right. She gathered up her things.

‘And, Addie?’

She turned in the doorway. ‘Yes?’

‘Have fun.’

Oh, she meant to, but she wouldn’t be sightseeing in this gorgeous and compelling city. At least, not this afternoon. If she wanted to convince Flynn that she was perfect PA material, she had work to do.
