Chapter 29: Party of Three

**Ellis POV

Jenny.

She had to be the one who put those thoughts in Olivia’s head about my social status and age. I couldn’t fault her. It was a best friend’s job to make sure she was with the right man.

I was the right man for Olivia, and I wasn’t going to let Jenny convince her otherwise.

Finding where Jenny lived from the college was easy enough but she wasn’t home when I showed up at her apartment. I talked to a few of her neighbors who were all too eager to please me when they took in my flashy suit and charming smile. I was no stranger to getting what I wanted.

They all agreed I’d find Jenny at one of the popular college clubs nearby, blowing off steam with some friends.

There was a line at the club door, the electronic dance music pumping out onto the sidewalk. I went straight to the bouncer.

“Mr. Peterson, we haven’t seen you in a while,” the bouncer greeted. He pulled back the velvet rope.

“Thank you,” I said with a nod.
