Richard WAS married to his work. He lived and breathed business. It was the one thing he actually cared about.
He chose to roll his eyes rather than respond accurately. "Can you stop giving me a hard time and just say you're happy for me already? I have to get back to going over reports."
His grandfather sighed. "Yes, Richard, I'm happy for you. Cherish her, okay? I think she might be exactly what you need."
Laney was exactly what he needed. His ticket to inheriting Vitacare.
"I will."
He headed back to his desk feeling drained but satisfied. The old man seemed to have bought it. For now. The difficult part was out of the way until Laney did get pregnant and he had to explain that he was getting married to the disbelieving horde.
He didn't even need to see her again until then and would be able to carry on with business as usual. That was nice.
