“What?”
“You take such small bites.”
“I’m nervous.”
“Don’t be.”
“How can I not?”
“You either want to have a relationship with me or not. I’m not asking anything of you other than to get to know me before you decide.”
“But you’re Oliver Fox.”
He put his sandwich down and stared at me with his beautiful sapphire eyes.
“I’m just a man.”
I sawed at my bottom lip with my teeth. “You say it just like you’re an average Joe. You’re not.”
He laughed. “Get to know me before you judge. Are you dating anyone?”
“No. Not right now. I’m surprised you didn’t know.”
“I told you, I’m not a stalker. I know basic information about you.”
I had only eaten half my wrap before my nerves got the best of me. I put it down on the plate and sipped my water.
“Finished?”
“I had a big breakfast,” I lied.
He clasped his hands together. “I’d like to take you out to dinner this weekend.”
“I have plans,” I lied.
“Then lunch.”
“I’m busy.”
I was losing control with Oliver, and I couldn’t. Once he found out about my nightmares, he would be done with me anyway.
He let out a frustrated breath. “Ryleigh, why are you making this difficult?”
“I’m not. It’s not every day that a millionaire asks you on a date.”
“I’ve had lots of millionaires ask me on a date.”
He didn’t correct me. I knew he was a lot more than a millionaire. Oliver Fox was well diversified and had several billion dollars in assets. He was the perfect catch but I didn’t think he was for me.
My mouth suddenly felt dry, and I took a gulp of water. “I bet. I’m sure women throw themselves at you.”
“They do, but I’m not that kind of man.”
I snorted. “I saw many images of you with plenty of different women. It seems you don’t want for dates.”
Oliver leaned back in his chair and gripped the arms. “I thought you didn’t check me out? How do you know I’ve dated plenty of women?”
I shrugged. “I saw pictures, that’s all.”
