“I’m just saying, if you get him to fire you, then you can’t take the blame. And maybe he’ll keep his mouth shut about what really went on.”
“I guess, but how am I going to make him fire me?”
“Maybe you can join a dating app and bring all your dates around him and pretend that you’re looking for a sugar daddy, seeing as he thought you were in the first place.”
“I don’t know about that,” I say. “It doesn’t seem like the best idea.”
“Well, it might not be the best idea, but it’s an idea. He obviously wasn’t happy when he saw you with Russell, so he’s probably not going to be happy if he sees you with all these other guys.”
“That’s true. Fine, I will do it.” I am not sure this is the best idea in the world, but it’s not like I have a history with good ideas, anyway. I know that this is the worst reasoning in the world, but I’m too tired to call myself out. “We can sign up, but I’m not going to go on any dates with any losers.”
“Honey, most of the guys on those apps are losers, and you just don’t even realize it until you’re on the date with them.”
“I guess,” I say, looking over at her. “Is this a bad idea?”
“I don’t know. Do you even know what he wants from you?”
“What do you mean, what he wants from me?”
“Look, you had a one-night stand with Colton, right?”
“Yeah.”
“You enjoyed it?”
“It was okay, but he obviously enjoyed it. I guess so.”
“Your brother shows up and then you lie and you say you’re Colton’s assistant, and he doesn’t dismiss that.”
“Yeah, because he didn’t want Sam to know.”
“Okay, for whatever reason, he doesn’t dismiss it. But now he actually wants you to work for him.”
“Yeah. And?”
“So why?” She looks at me. “Have you ever thought about that?”
“No,” I say, shaking my head. “I have no idea why.”
“Well, it’s probably because he wants to fuck you all over his office, girl. Most probably, he had a piece of you, and he wants to have as much of you as he can until he no longer wants you.”
“Thanks, Isabel. That makes me feel really amazing.”
“I’m just saying. You know guys like that.”
“No, actually, I don’t really know guys like that. He’s the only billionaire I know.”
“You know what I mean.”
“I guess.”
“Anyway, play his game. He thinks he’s in control. Well, you showed him tonight, ‘I can have you or not have you. I don’t care.’ Let him know, ‘Just because you’re rich and hot doesn’t mean you’re the only guy that I can get. I can get other guys.’”
“But I can’t get other guys.”
“That’s why you’re going to go on the dating app. Duh.”
“Okay, I guess. Why do I feel like this is not going to go well for me?”
