“You don’t have a date.”
“I do. It’s better we don’t see each other. You have no time for me.”
“Is that what Nicky told you? That I’ll break your heart?”
“I haven’t spoken to Nicky,” I lie.
“I know his MO. I bet he said he’s protecting you and that he doesn’t want you to get hurt. He wants to fuck you, Emma. He’ll say anything to get you away from me and into his bed or over his desk as it may.”
“How dare you. Do you think I would let him?”
“What I think is not important. What I know is.”
“And you know that he’ll try to get me into bed?”
“I would stake my life on it. Don’t discuss me with Nicky. Save yourself the headache. Are you busy this weekend?”
“I have nothing planned.”
“Oh? except for the fictitious date tonight?”
“Maybe.”
He presses the intercom button, “Albert, drive.”
“Thanks for the ride home.”
“You’re not going home. We’re heading to the airport.”
“Pardon?”
“You’re coming to Vancouver with me. If you think for one minute I’m leaving you alone this weekend hating me, you’re wrong.”
“I don’t hate you. I’m just unsure. And you can’t just kidnap me to Vancouver. I have a life.”
“Tell me what you’re doing this weekend? What are your plans?”
I’m silent for a minute, thinking that I should just make something up, so he’ll let me go, but I don’t want him to.
“I thought so. You’ll love Vancouver.”
“What am I going to do while you’re negotiating contracts?”
“I just might take you with me. I could use a pretty face at the table.”
“So that is all I am to you? A pretty face.”
“Emma, you’re so much more.”
I start to blush, “I have nothing to wear.”
“Who said you’re going to need clothes?”
I shiver at the prospect of why I wouldn’t need clothing. Is he going to tie me to the bed all weekend while he plays master of industry?
“Then what am I going to wear if I join you at the negotiating table?”
“Svetlana has been kind enough to select some clothing for you. I have a suitcase in the trunk. I’m sure you’ll be delighted with what she’s chosen.”
