"Stay here," I told him. "Let Hannah come with me. If you're out and about, no one will suspect that I'm going out of town. This is a crucial meeting with the entire company at stake, so just as we have eyes on them, I am pretty sure that they too have eyes on us."
"Ah," he replied, looking between the both of us and looking incredibly disappointed.
"Understood. I'll back out."
"Hannah, have you made the hotel arrangements?" I asked, and she immediately rose to her feet, just as I strolled out of the office.
"Yes, sir, I have," she said, and I nodded.
"Good.”
Then I walked out and headed straight to John’s office.
Chapter Forty-Five
Hannah
Iwas a bit stunned and confused all in one.
George, however, who understood exactly what had just happened, came over to my desk immensely disappointed.
"Guess you're going on the private jet to Chicago," he said, and my brows shot up.
"I'm going to Chicago?"
"Yep, on the jet. You missed that part."
"I... why so sudden? I mean, do I have to go home and get my luggage or something?"
"No, going home in the middle of the day will draw attention."
"Attention from?" I asked.
"Other interested parties in the firm. Not everyone here is on our side, even though we all work together. Some are only after their own fame and glory."
"Right," I said and settled back into my chair so I could process.
"Don't worry about additional purchases; you can just get whatever you need in Chicago. Remember that frequent and sudden visits happen like this, so always have a bag of your important items like toiletries and stuff here in the office and ready to go. And then any other thing that can be easily replaceable, like clothes, you can get those wherever you both travel to."
"So, this is a frequent occurrence?" I asked.
"Not frequent," he replied, "but be ready. Boss moves as needed and doesn't waste time."
"What about him?" I asked. "Does he need new clothes or something?"
"Nope, has all his essentials on the plane."
"Of course, he does," I grumbled internally, and then George left the office.
I truly didn't know what I was upset about; after all, I was leaving the office with Guy. It would be a first between us going away like this, and I know it was purely for work, but still, I was just as excited as I was ticked off about probably having to remain as I was until the next day or however long we would be spending in Chicago.
I truly didn't want to be stranded, though, and was quite upset, so I thought of what I could do without making any ruckus.
And then, of course, my mind went to Mandy.
Her studio was far away, but I was sure I could find a reason to entice her to come to pause her day and take a little trip to my apartment and then to the office. There was still a bit of time before we had to leave for Chicago, so I immediately called her, and thankfully she picked up.
"I'm busy," she immediately grumbled, and my heart deflated.
