Chapter Sixteen
Ronan moved through his party, offering drinks, and passing plates of food. Chloe chatted with everyone. She was a natural host, making it all seem effortless. He and Brendan had decided to divide the crew to search for information. Brendan would take Old Man Mulroney and Ronan would take Joe and Nick.
Just as he pulled up a chair to join Joe and Nick with a fresh beer, Chloe wandered over to say goodbye. She ran a hand across his shoulders as she leaned down to kiss his cheek. “I have to head to work.”
“Thanks for coming.”
“Have fun.”
As she walked away, Nick said, “You got yourself a good woman there, Ronan.”
Too good for the likes of him. “Yeah, she is.”
“So how do you like being the boss?” Nick asked.
“A lot more f*****g paperwork than swinging a hammer.”
