Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 426

Blake caught on right away. He nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t breathe a word about this to anyone.”

He shot a look at Jonas, who immediately panicked and threw up his hand. “I swear, I won’t tell anyone except the boss. If I do, may I be single for the rest of my life!”

Lydia couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. What was so bad about being single, anyway? Wasn’t it kind of nice?

Blake turned to Jonas, frowning. “Didn’t you always say you were never getting married?”

Jonas rushed to explain. “Not getting married and being single forever aren’t the same thing.”

Lydia nodded. “If you’re single, you don’t date at all. If you’re against marriage, you can still date, just never get married.”

The meaning was clear enough. Jonas was definitely a player.

Jonas looked embarrassed. Was she really calling him out like that?

Connor and Blake stayed behind to make sure everything was wrapped up, then the group took a helicopter straight to their hotel.

Lydia’s bags were already at the hotel she was staying in, and Connor quickly said he’d go with her.

Blake’s face clouded over. He said he’d be checking into the same hotel, too.

Connor could only stare. Was Blake worried he’d try something with Lydia? Did he really think Connor was that kind of guy?

Blake asked for Lydia’s room number and had Jonas arrange for two rooms right next to hers. One for him, one for Connor.

With no other option, Connor walked Lydia to her room.

“Mr. Jefferson, can I come in for a minute?” Blake asked.

Connor didn’t dare refuse. “Of course. Come in.”

The two tall, good-looking men walked into the room together. A housekeeper passing by couldn’t help but do a double take, thinking, what a handsome pair. Too bad they probably weren’t into girls.

Connor offered Blake a seat and handed him a bottle of water.

“Is something up?” Connor asked.
