EGO TRIP
Two weeks on the road with my boss? Business as usual.
Two weeks on the road with my newer, hotter boss that I had a one-night stand with four years ago? A disaster waiting to happen.
It was a one-time thing with a man I knew from work.
His name was Oliver Black. The rich and handsome manager of the Botsford Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas.
Dark hair. Icy blue eyes. A cocky smirk with dimples deep enough to trip on.
No one has to know, he said.
And no one did know... except maybe the guests trying to sleep in the suite next door.
I didn't know he'd eventually get promoted to my department.
I definitely didn't know my boss would assign me to travel the country with him to keep his raging ego in check.
Two weeks. Five locations. A whole lot of hotel rooms in-between.
This trip will either solidify our business relationship as totally platonic friends and nothing more, or destroy my career.
But we already know the answer to that question, don't we?
I'm screwed. Literally.
CHAPTER 1
PAIGE
What the hell?
He looks like my boss. He sounds like my boss. And yet...
“Have a fun weekend?” he asks. “How’s Mom?”
Graham Botsford stands beside me outside the elevator with his arms wrapped around his ex-wife, a woman I’ve seen a grand total of one time since I became his assistant over a year ago. In fact, I’ve never seen him this way with any woman. To be this close to a woman, a man has to have a certain level of fun and Graham is not the kind of guy who has any sort of fun.
Though I’m not too sure I’m one to talk lately.
I slide my sunglasses off. “She’s good,” I answer. “The rest is a very long story...”
I look them up and down. A bouquet. Happy, smiling faces. A loving, adrenaline-fueled embrace.
“How were the nature documentaries?” I ask.
“Very educational, actually,” he answers, his hand not-so-subtly making its way around her waist.
“Yeah, I bet.”
“Jen,” he says, gesturing at me, “this is my assistant, Paige.”
“Hello!” She gives me a wave. “I’ve heard good things about you.”
I bob my head. My head hurts too much for this much excitement. “Greetings.”
“Paige, this is my wife, Jen.”
