He grunted in response, clearly not happy with the conversation, but Jessie wasn’t about to back down. They were talking about large sums of money, and it was her responsibility to ensure everything was above the board.
As the meeting wrapped up, Jessie’s phone buzzed in her pocket. She checked the screen as she stood to leave. It was a text from Cherise, the designer and owner of the lingerie boutique. She had called and made an appointment to go shopping.
Cherise:Your appointment is confirmed for 7 p.m. this evening,
Jessie quickly replied to Cherise and then sent a text to Mac to let him know about the plans.
Jessie:Hey, I’m going to be late tonight. I have an appointment with Cherise later.
Mac’s response came within seconds.
Mac:No problem. I’ve got meetings all day at the hotel. I think I’ll crash at the hotel tonight. Call me when you get home so I know you’re safe.
Jessie smiled at the thoughtfulness behind his words. Even in the chaos of his own day, he always made sure to check in on her. She texted him back, being a little playful.
Jessie:Will do. Have fun in your meetings.
Mac:I doubt they’ll be fun. Remember, I want you to pick out whatever your heart desires at Cherise’s. Maybe tomorrow night you can model your selections for me.
Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly slipped her phone back into her bag, biting her lip to stifle a smile. Even though they were just texting, Mac had a way of making her feel both giddy and grounded.
With her spirits lifted from her and Mac’s exchange, Jessie headed out of the office, pushing the thoughts of the unsettling meeting with her uncle to the back of her mind. She’d wait and see what he came back with before making any decisions.
She had other things to focus on now—like finding something special at Cherise’s boutique.
Chapter Fifteen
Jessie gently pushed open the door to the lingerie boutique, her eyes adjusting to the bright lights acting as spotlights aimed at the luxurious displays. The store was elegant, with white marble floors. But the main focal points were the delicate lace pieces draped on mannequins that lined the walls and stand-alone displays.
It wasn’t long before an older woman approached her, her silver hair perfectly styled, her posture exuding a grace that immediately put Jessie at ease.
“Jessie, I presume?” the woman asked with a warm smile, extending her hand.
Jessie returned the smile, taking her hand in a firm but friendly grip. “That is me. You must be Cherise.”
“I am,” Cherise replied warmly. “Welcome. The store is all yours tonight, so take your time. In the sitting area by the dressing rooms, there is a bottle of 2013 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux, along with some hors d'oeuvres. Please help yourself with all of it.
Jessie smiled, knowing that Mac must have told Cherise that Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux was her favorite wine.
“Before you start browsing, Mac mentioned that you like unique and special collection sets.”
“I do. I sort of have a lingerie fetish,” Jessie admitted, feeling the blush in her cheeks.
Cherise laughed as she took Jessie’s arm and led her over to a display that showcased two bra and panty sets.
“I hope you don’t mind, but I asked Mac for your sizes so I could pull a few special items I thought you might like to see or try on.”
Jessie didn’t mind, and it also didn’t surprise her that Mac knew what her bra and panty sizes were. The man knew everything.
Jessie told her that it wasn’t a problem and also that she appreciated her being proactive.
“Now, these two sets are from my private collection. What makes these special and unique is that they are limited to only five sets made. I pulled these two because they fell in the size range that Mac provided.
As soon as Jessie saw them, she was drawn to the rose-gold lace and satin set. The bra was crafted from delicate lace and satin that featured intricate floral embroidery. The cups had a scalloped edge, giving the bra a timeless, vintage charm while maintaining a contemporary flair.
The matching panties mirrored the bra’s elegance, with the same intricate lace overlaying a smooth satin base. The waistband, adorned with a petite bow at the center, added a touch of playful sophistication. The back of the panties featured a sheer lace panel, offering a tantalizing hint of skin beneath the rose gold hue. The overall effect was both enchanting and sensual, perfectly capturing the balance of classic beauty and modern allure.
This set wasn’t just lingerie; it was a statement piece, effortlessly combining grace and luxury with a touch of understated glamour.
