She sighed. Patience. She wasn’t good at it. The conference was scheduled to continue for two more days, and there was no guarantee that the buyer would make an approach on the first day, anyway.
There was only an hour left before the conference wrapped up for the day. She turned, searching for Cain.
He’d wasted no time chasing Simon off. She was pretty sure he was jealous.
Where was he?She frowned.
Her gaze swept her surroundings, then she saw him. Her frown deepened and her belly did a weird circle.
He was smiling at a tall, svelte brunette.
For a horrible second, she remembered seeing Brandon with his model. She’d been tall, and a brunette. The woman across the room was like a doppelgänger. Her dress was gorgeous.Shewas gorgeous.
And she was touching Cain. Her perfectly done, polished nails were on his shirt.
A part of Jet wanted to shrivel up.
You’re weird. Your eyes are wrong. You’re too smart. Too small. Too cute.
Dammit, she wasn’t a teenager anymore. She was a smart, capable woman. She was good at her damn job, and she knew who she was.
She marched across the aisle. Cain saw her coming and their gazes collided.
Jet planted her feet. “Sorry to interrupt, but we have business.”
The brunette turned, her expression startled. She gave Jet a long look, then smiled.
Ah yes, this woman was secure in her knowledge that she was more attractive.
“Is this your colleague?” the woman asked Cain.
“No. Yes,” Jet answered. “We’re…complicated.”
The woman’s clear, blue eyes flicked to Cain, a faint smile on her lips. “I can be uncomplicated.”
Jet gasped. The woman was propositioning him right in front of her.
“It appears I like complications in small packages,” he said.
A few emotions crossed the woman’s face before she smoothed them out. She shrugged. “Let me know if you change your mind.” She swiveled and stalked off.
Jet sniffed. “What a…a…”
Cain laughed.
She whirled on him. “You were just standing there, flirting with her.Wait.” A horrible thought hit her. “Were you interested in her?”
“Jet—”
“God, you men are all the same. Whenever you see long legs and a pair of boobs, your brain short-circuits. I shouldn’t be surprised. I should’ve learned my damn lesson by now.”
He grabbed her arm. “Hey—”
“You can’t help it, I guess.” She shook her head. “It must be in your DNA. My ex taught me that, but I just don’t learn.”
Cain’s gaze narrowed and he started pulling her through the crowd. “I’m not your fucking ex—”
“I don’t want to hear it. I—”
