“And if there is?” I asked, my heart pounding.
“We’ll trim it and discuss an investment. I can’t invest in something that’s not solid, but I might make an exception because he’s family,” he said, a small smile playing on his lips.
“I was hoping you would say that. He really needs our help,” I said, relief washing over me.
“It’s going to cost you,” Oliver said, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
I rolled my eyes. “Sexual favors?”
“What kind of man do you take me for? I would never ask that of you,” he said, feigning innocence.
I smirked. “Bullshit. You have before.”
“When?” Oliver challenged, leaning back with a grin.
“Several times. You’re a horrible boss. I should report you to HR,” I teased, crossing my arms.
“What would you say?” he asked.
“I’d tell them how you try to seduce me while in the office. You’ve created a sexually charged atmosphere,” I replied, matching his playful tone.
Oliver laughed, shaking his head. “Guilty as charged. But seriously, we’ll help Finley. He’s family, and that means something to me too.”
I leaned over the desk and kissed him. “Thank you, Oliver. It means a lot to me.”
He began to scribble a few more notes on his pad. “I have a few things to do before we leave.”
“I meant to ask, how did your meeting go with James and Callan?” I asked, leaning against the doorframe.
Oliver sighed, rubbing his temples. “I had a few choice words about their sons. They were none too happy about their behavior and apologized.”
“I’m sorry I put you in a bad position,” I said, feeling a twinge of guilt.
“You didn’t put me in a bad position. Their sons put them in a bad position,” he corrected, his eyes softening as he looked at me.
“I guess it’s something I’ll have to get used to,” I said, shrugging.
“Are you kidding me? You don’t have to be sexually harassed to make a deal,” Oliver said, his voice firm and protective.
“I know, but it’s a common occurrence in business. Women get harassed and treated like second-class citizens with lower salaries and fewer promotions. We had a discussion in my business administration class,” I explained, frustration evident in my tone.
“It does go on, but it doesn’t go on here. If you’re worthy, you get the salary and the promotion, no matter what your gender may be,” Oliver said, his conviction clear.
“That’s because you’re a great boss,” I said, smiling.
A grin danced on Oliver’s lips. “You said I was a horrible boss not five minutes ago.”
“Shut up. I have some things to finish,” I retorted, rolling my eyes.
I heard him chuckling to himself as I exited his office, the sound following me down the hallway.
Vlad brought the limo to pick us up from work, and we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. One night without sex was one night too long. Oliver bitched because I chose to wear slacks again, grumbling about how hard it was to get his hand in my panties.
“Deal with it,” I murmured in his ear.
“In one minute, I’m going to strip you bare and fuck you until you scream,” he growled, his breath hot against my neck.
“Promises, promises.”
