Mob Boss Eleven- The Wrong One (The Mob Boss Series Book 11) by Mallory Monroe Page A

she looked at Maurice.   “I get it, Mo,” she said.   “And I’m sure you and Gen will run the
day-to-day just fine.   But I won’t be
involved.   The answer is no.”
    Maurice
looked at Gennifer.   Gennifer was
disappointed too.   “Will you at least
consider a donation,” Gennifer asked, “even if you won’t become an investor?”
    “Yes,”
Trina said.   “I’ll be happy to donate.”
    “Well
at least that ,” Maurice said in a
flippant tone, and Reno looked at him.
    “But
I won’t donate a dime until all of your investors are on board,” Trina
added.   “I’m not throwing my money down a
black hole.”
    Gennifer
was angry, and Reno could see the underpinnings of that anger, but she nodded,
and put on a smile.   “Understood,” she
said.   “Hopefully, once we have everybody
onboard, we’ll be back.”
    “That’ll
work,” Trina said.
    “Mr.
Gabrini,” Gennifer said with a nod toward Reno, and then she began to
leave.   She had to coax Maurice to leave,
but he left too.   Reno went and closed
the door behind them.   He walked back
over to the desk.
      “So what brings you to my hideaway?” Trina
asked.
    Reno
smiled and kissed her on the lips.   “Can’t a man come and see his wife?”
    “When
that man is a workaholic like you, and it’s the middle of his workday?   No.”
    Reno
laughed.   “Remember when I told you I
needed to be in Georgia this weekend to look over some details before I would
agree to finalize the deal?”
    “I
remember.”
    “I
was able to give my people the go-ahead to finalize the deal, babe.”
    Trina
smiled.   “For Georgia?   For PaLargio South?”
    Reno
nodded.   “We will have a footprint in
Georgia now, that’s right.”
    Trina
moved from around her desk and hurried to him.   She threw herself into his arms.   “That’s great, Reno!”   They kissed
again.   “So when’s the big day?   When do you sign everything and making it all
official?”
    “Monday
is still the day.   I’m going to fly down there
Sunday night.”
    “But
why?” Trina asked.   “Why not wait until
Monday morning?”
    “I
need to have meetings with my people just in case we missed anything.   It’s how I do business.   I need to see each one of the negotiators
face to face, to make sure they all agree with this deal, or if any of them
feel we can wring out a better offer.”
    Trina
smiled.   “You are one savvy businessman,
Mr. Gabrini.   I’ll give you that.”
    “I
just pray this little experiment works.   I’m dumping a lot of money into it.”
    “I
think it’s going to be fantastic,” Trina said.  
    “I
agree with you,” Reno said.   “The
PaLargio South hotels will definitely give us the best bang for our buck.”
    “And
you do look out for our bucks,” Trina said with a smile.
    Reno
gave her a spank on the ass.   “And so do
you, I see.    I liked the way you handled
that situation with those two money grubbers.”
    Trina
laughed.   “Don’t call them that.”
    “That’s
what they are!   I like the way you
handled them.”
    “Thanks,
Ree.   Coming from you?   That means a lot.”
    Reno
stared into his wife’s eyes.   Then he
moved to give her another, more sensual kiss.   But before he could make his move, the office door flew open and Maurice
Pender came marching back in.   It was
obvious that Gennifer had tried to stop him, because she was hurrying up behind
him with a flustered look on her face and her wild red hair flapping against
her bone-thin back.   But he seemed like a
bull coming into a china shop.   Nobody
was going to stop him.
    “I
have to give you a piece of my mind, Mrs. Gabrini,” he said as he made his way
toward the couple.
    Reno
frowned and moved in front of Trina.   “You have to what ?” he asked
the charging bull.
    But
Maurice’s total focus was on Trina.   “You
said we had a great idea.   You said how
near and dear to your heart the entire project would
