She’s a spectacular fuck.’ ‘I took the best they had to offer for myself,’ Anton says, smug bastard. ‘Obviously. And she was worth every penny.’ He gives his friend a sly sideways look. ‘That’s why, when you take bonuses into account, I paid her more than I ever paid Max.’ Gabe, Dex and I fall about laughing at the look of utter disgust on Max’s face, but he recovers well.
