A Billionaire BWWM Romance 2: Jealousy and Trust
looked
at Steven.
    “It’s
really nice to meet you. You have a beautiful house…home,”
she said, quickly correcting herself. There was no way she could call
a property of this magnitude a mere house.
    “Actually,
it was all Victoria’s doing. I just paid for it,” Ian
said with a smile. “Anyway, I would like to introduce you to
Patrick and Rebecca Smith, their son William and daughter Stephanie,”
Ian said as he introduced Julie to the Smiths. She noticed that
Stephanie didn’t give her a very friendly look, but then again,
she was not there to impress her. As soon as the introductions were
over, Amber took her away from the group and led her into the living
room.
    “I’m
sorry to have to drag you away, but believe me, you don’t want
to be around that Stephanie,” Amber said.
    “Yeah,
I kind of guessed that she didn’t like me very much,”
Julie said with a smile.
    “About
that, maybe you should talk to Steven,” Amber said. Julie gave
her a smile and shook her head.
    “Don’t
worry about it. I already know about him and Stephanie,” she
said. Amber smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
    “Oh
good, that saves me a lot of awkward silence then,” she said
with a smile. “And trust me when I tell you we are better off
in here than out there. Besides, that bitch Stephanie always made me
uneasy. I just don’t trust her. I’d rather stay away from
her unless I most certainly have to,” she added with a smile.
Julie smiled.
    “Crazy
eyes?” she asked. Amber raised an eyebrow.
    “Crazy
eyes?”
    “That’s
how we Americans describe someone with a look you don’t trust,”
Julie explained. Amber smiled and nodded.
    “Nice
name,” she said with a smile. “Crazy eyes,” she
repeated as she made a face. Julie laughed as a uniformed young woman
walked in holding a tray on what looked like juice and champagne.
Amber picked a glass of champagne and handed one to Julie. “Or
are you more of a juice person?” she asked, holding the glass
back briefly. Julie shook her head and took the glass from her.
    “Thanks,”
Julie said to the woman before she walked away.
    “So,
you must have given my brother something to make him so into you,”
Amber said, looking at Julie who was looking back at her surprised
and confused.
    “What?”
she asked with a smile.
    “Well,
Steven has never brought anyone to meet my parents. We only knew
about Stephanie because we are family friends,” Amber said.
Julie took a sip of her champagne and smiled.
    “Really?”
she asked. Amber nodded.
    “Let’s
just say, Steven isn’t exactly used to meeting reputable
women,” she said. “So, last time we talked with my
brother he told me you are a property agent?” she asked.
    “A
realtor,” Julie corrected her. “Yeah, that’s what I
do. It’s actually how we met,” she said with a smile.
    “Oh
really?” Amber asked. Julie nodded.
    “Yeah.
I was tasked with finding him a house in Minneapolis. And he was
really particular with what he wanted. But we worked something out,”
she explained before taking another sip.
    “You
must be really good at what you do. Steven is not easily…satisfied,”
Amber said and then suddenly blushed. “You know what I mean,”
she added quickly. Julie laughed and smiled.
    “I
do,” she said. “And yes, I noticed, but…he is not
that hard to deal with. In fact, he is one of the best clients I have
ever worked with,” she said, a faraway look in her eyes. Amber
looked at her and smiled.
    “And
I can see that he’s had the same effect on you,” she
said. Julie looked at her with a smile before she took another sip of
her drink to hide the fact that her cheeks were crimson.
    The
more Julie talked to Amber, the more she felt comfortable around her.
Amber was like Steven, exactly like Steven, the only difference being
that she was female. She did not even realize that the time had flown
by before Victoria finally called everyone to the dinner table. When
Amber and Julie were walking
