“Dawn would like you on the fourth day since you have the least seniority.”
“Seniority?” I rolled my eyes.
They’ve made a business operation out of love.
“I want to enjoy Paris right now, not talk about this. I told Dawn I’ll make up the days when I return.”
“So I won’t spend time with you for at least a week?”
“Possibly.” He wrestled his thumb with his other one. “Which is why we should enjoy the time we have now.”
I tapped my feet and checked more emails. Before Chase’s plane had taken off, I’d sent an email to everyone letting them know I would be in Paris for a few days and not to worry.
Apparently, Gabe had responded later with a list of restaurants I might like.
“Cool.” I smiled. “Gabe sent a bunch of restaurants. He placed the Michelin Star restaurants at the top.”
“Does he know you’re with me?”
“Of course not.” I browsed the rest of my emails.
“Why didn’t you tell him?”
“What do I say? I’m going on a trip with my boss who I’m now dating and by the way he has a fiancée and two other girlfriends?”
“He should know you’re taken.”
“I’m not officially taken. I can date other men. Remember?”
I opened my last unread email. The sender was labeled Anonymous.
Jasmine,
Stick to our rules and you won’t get hurt.
Sincerely,
Highly Upset
“Someone is threatening me.” I showed him the email.
All the food on the table, with its enticing smells and beautiful colors, could no longer hold my attention. Anger instead of fear pulsed in my veins.
If you’re going to threaten me at least do it without hiding behind an anonymous email.
Chase snatched my phone and read it. A feral noise erupted from his throat as he shot up. His chair fell back to the floor.
He wrenched out his phone and pressed a button.
“You threaten her through an email?” Chase roared and stomped out of the room. “I don’t care!”
I stood up and followed him. “Who is that?”
Ignoring me, he went into the bathroom and shut the door.
The lock clicked.
“Then who did?” he asked. I twisted the doorknob to make sure it was actually locked. It didn’t turn.
