“That wasn’t how I heard it.”
“Why are you with her? She’s very disagreeable.”
“Katherine keeps me on my toes. I appreciate her honesty.”
“You mean you appreciate her father’s millions and her trust fund.”
“How do you know about that?”
“I can read. She’s a socialite; her father owns one of that largest production companies on the east coast. It’s not hard to figure out her charms because it’s certainly not her personality.”
“I would like you to apologize to her.”
“Fuck no. That isn’t happening.”
“Even if it jeopardizes your position?”
“Nicky, you’re treading very close to blackmail. I don’t think Jordan would be thrilled if I told him.”
“Jordan doesn’t control the day to day at Scarborough. If it’s a financial decision, then he will be involved. Otherwise, it’s my call.”
“And you think that threatening me with my job is going to make me apologize? Fire me and see what happens.”
“You must be terrific in bed because you’re a major bitch.”
“You’ll never know.”
“I’m not deaf. Having the bedroom next to yours had its advantages. You fucked like rabbits. I heard you moaning through the wall.”
My face reddens and heats. “What we do in the privacy of our bedroom is none of your business.”
“Jordan will tire of you. He’s not so simple that a tight pussy and a hot body will keep him interested, he needs mental stimulation. Just don’t let the break up affect your work. You can go.”
“You’re so jealous that you can’t be happy for him.”
“Because he has you? Hardly.”
“Enjoy your holiday asshole.”
I hurry from his office before he can make a retort. Everyone around me seems to be negative about my relationship with Jordan. I need him, but I know he’s on his way to LA. I text him anyway, not expecting a reply.
I miss you. I wish you were here.
I’m surprised when he answers.
Doll, if I didn’t have meetings set up, I would have them turn this plane around. I wanted you in my bed last night. It was empty without you. I felt empty without you. Please say you’ll stay with me when I get back.
I can stay with you. Nate is leaving for the Hamptons today. I’ll be alone in my apartment for the next two months.
I’m glad that you have better security at your building. We’re landing in a few minutes. I have to go. I love you, Emma.
I love you too, Jordan.
I walk out of the building into the early July heat, and Albert is waiting at the curb with the Mercedes. I smile at him, thankful that I can get a ride home in the cool interior of the car. He tips his hat and doesn’t say much on the trip to my apartment. I thank him when I get out and go upstairs.
Nathaniel has left for the Hamptons already, and his room looks like a tornado hit it. I set to work cleaning, but first, I call my sister Lexi to let her know I’d like to join her for the ride to my parent’s home in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. She tells me that they're heading out this evening when JC gets home, so if I want to join them, I need to get to her apartment soon.
I grab a duffel bag and start shoving clothing in it. Nate’s room will have to wait because I don’t want to take the train. JC has an SUV that can fit us all. I make it to her place on Central Park West a few minutes before JC comes home.
