Jet
“Signed and sealed. Justto be delivered now.”
“Yup,” I grunt, swirling the deep amber brandy in my glass as Hayden’s fucking cheery tone grates on my nerves as it carries down the phone.
“And the next batch of engines?”
“All ours, as I agreed with Rich.”
I tip the rim of the glass and inhale the alcohol fumes before taking a throat burning swig.
“He okay?”
“Yeah, fine.”
“Great,” Hayden says.
I tip my chin at the bartender, motioning for the remainder of the bottle. He places what’s left of it down on the bar beside me.
Yeah, fucking fantastic. Going back to the Silver Estate was just what I wanted to be doing today. But I pride myself on my business connections. Where possible, I prefer to meet face-to-face. What’s it sayabout the CEO of an airline if he doesn’t make the effort to travel?
“You getting the morning flight back?”
A woman wearing a tight-fitting dress slides onto the bar stool beside mine. Her eyes flick up to mine and she gives me a flirty smile.
“Yep,” I reply, letting my eyes roam over her.
She bites her lower lip with a smile and pushes her black hair behind her ear.
“All right, I know when you don’t want to talk. See you tomorrow, Boss.”
I grunt in response and Hayden hangs up.
“What’s the whiskey like here?” I ask the dark-haired woman.
“Isn’t that what you’re drinking?” She looks at the bottle beside me, the label facing away from her.
“No. This is brandy.”
“Are you sure?” She narrows her eyes playfully and reaches over, past the bottle to pluck my glass from between my fingers. She takes a sip, her eyes holding mine over the rim as she lowers it and licks her lips. “So it is.”
She hands the glass back with a wink and my eyes drop to the shiny pink lipstick mark on it.
“You used my glass.”
“Who’d drink from the bottle when you have a glass?” She rolls her eyes with a giggle, tucking another loose strand of hair behind her ear. “You know what’s better than the whiskey here?” she purrs.
“What’s that?” I follow her hand with my eyes as she plays with her necklace, running the pendant side to side over the swell of her breasts.
“The whiskey at my place.”
“Really?”
“I don’t live far.”
I slide off my stool, and she giggles as I hold her eyes and throw a wad of notes down onto the bar before tipping my head toward the door.
