“A little,” he said. “There is more I’d like to know, but you’ve got to get to work.”
“And your phone is ringing again too,” she said.
He hadn’t even looked at his watch this time, but she saw it light up.
“It’s always ringing. They can wait.”
The two of them stood up and walked back to the building.
“Thanks for lunch,” she said.
“You’re welcome. Maybe we can do this again?” he asked.
“I’d like that,” she said. Before she could ask for his number, his phone went off again and he looked at his watch.
“Crap,” he said, opening the door for her. “I need to run. I know where to find you. I’ll be in touch.”
“Bye, Braylon,” she said as he hopped on the elevator.
“Lilian.”
She turned her head and saw Evan stepping out of the elevator Braylon just got in.She started to walk to her office as Braylon was heading up.
“Hi, Evan,” she said. It would be her rotten luck she’d see someone who knew her just now.
“I saw you having lunch with Braylon Carlisle.”
“So,” she said.
“He’s an attorney,” Evan said.
“I’m aware,” she said. Thankfully she just found that out.
“He’s your fiancé?”
She didn’t want to lie so it was better not to answer at all. “Why the face? Am I not good enough for him?”
Evan looked her over one more time and smirked. Like he knew what she might have had to offer and it just pissed her off.
“If you’re engaged to Braylon, I’m not sure why you’re working here and doing what you are.”
The thought that Evan knew who Braylon was slipped from her mind in her frustration over that comment.
“I don’t need someone to take care of me,” she said.
Evan held his hands up. “I get it. But really. Anyone who dates a Carlisle...not sure why they even need to work. I mean seriously, he’s his brother’s attorney.” It must have been the blank look on her face that had Evan frowning. “The guy who owns this building.”
“So?” she said, waving her hand. She had to play along like she knew that information. “That has nothing to do with me.”
She turned and walked to her little cubicle to get back to work and wondered how much of a fool she was.
How could she have not realized that when Braylon had given his name? Most women would have looked into the guy, but not her. She didn’t want to know that information just like she wouldn’t want anyone to look into her.
But now that she knew where he worked, she might have to give him a heads up about what just occurred.
Talk about a disaster waiting to happen.
