Just a Bit Ruthless by Alessandra Hazard

Luke had always hated it, but he was downright sick of it after the last two months he had spent in Moscow, attending meaningless events in his father’s stead for the Russian branch of Whitford Industries. He hadn’t graduated with honors from Oxford only to spend his life being a pretty face for his father’s marketing campaigns. Luke tried not to take it too personally-Richard Whitford trusted no one-but it was time to change that. Luke would have liked to think that the reason for this was his dad’s over-protectiveness, but he wasn’t delusional: Richard Whitford simply didn’t trust his son. Normally back in England his dad kept him on a short leash, watching him like a hawk. He wouldn’t get a chance like this again. Sure, his father was going to be furious when he found out, but this chance was too good to let it slip through his fingers.

He was going to prove to his father that he could be trusted with the important stuff. Luke smiled grimly at his reflection and squared his shoulders.

Not that he attended all that many important business meetings. It made him look very young, and while normally it wasn’t a problem, it was a pain in the ass to look like a sixteen-year-old when one had to attend an important business meeting. Luke blamed his ridiculous mouth: because of his full upper lip his face seemed set in a perpetual pout. It was embarrassing that most people didn’t believe he was of drinking age and he had to have his ID on him at all times. Sighing, Luke ran a hand over his smooth jaw, wishing he had some manly scruff to hide his baby face. He looked…fine, but the suit didn’t achieve the effect he had hoped for: he didn’t look older. Luke Whitford eyed his reflection in the mirror with a disappointed frown. The suit was conservative, gray, and boring.
