“My ass is just fine, Zander.”Colt tosses back his drink and stands, straightening his black pants.“How about joining me at the club where I will show you my cheeks, and you can check out some of the newbies.”
It’s my turn to laugh.
I don’t frequent that part of the club as often as the others.At first it was a novelty, but NYC is a small place with a lot of people.The number at the top of the food chain is even smaller.The day I faced a guy across the boardroom table and recalled seeing him getting a blowjob from a Washington senator...yeah, that didn’t work for me anymore.
I’d rather not know.
I’m also not a voyeur and hate sharing.
“Fine.But keep your ass away from my face.”Zander tosses a napkin at me.“Fire your PA, Sebastian.Trust me on this.”Then he follows Colt through the club, and the two disappear through the OC doors.
I watch as a man I recognize follows them through with two beautiful women on his arms and wonder what Emily’s doing.
She’s twenty-five and living abroad for the first time in her life.I know exactly what she’s doing.But I want to know who she’s doing it with.
My teeth grind as I fight the urge to call her and demand she return to the office.
I’m sure I’m missing a report...
“Whatever you’re thinking, don’t do it.”Mason warns.
“I can’t fire her.”I let out a sigh.“Whether she knows it or not, she could sue me.”
I’m surprised Zander didn’t warn me.
“Exactly.So keep your dick in your pants and find another department for her.”Mason leans his arm on the table, tilting his head.“Do you like her?”
I snort.
“Jesus, Mason, she’s twenty-five.Curves for days and barely a dollar to her name.”
I feel like an asshole, but we all remember what happened to Jack.We won’t ever forget the event that’s threaded through our lives and bonded us.
It’s not that we only date wealthy women—they can be worse—but as billionaires, we have to be more aware of these things.Learning your friend was murdered by a gold digger messes with you.
Mason nods, leaning back.“How did she end up in first class?”
“Upgraded.God, Mase, she caused a scene.”I shake my head, laughing as I recall the moment champagne went flying over the flight attendant.And how Emily kept the entire cabin awake, chatting to her newplane friends.
Her words, not mine.
“Woah,” Drew says, and the two men share a glance.
My smile vanishes.
“Notwoah.It was just a funny situation.Don’t read anything into it.”These guys know me well, so I backtrack.“Emily sucked my cock after we drank too much, then turned up in my office to start as my assistant on Monday morning.It’s a mess and I intend to fix it.”
By taking her out on Sunday to one of the most important business dinners of my life and introducing her as my fiancée.
Drew and Mason start laughing all over again.
“Okay, fuck this.I’m out.”I reach for my phone.
“Sebastian, you don’t do funny.”Mason holds his hand out, stopping me.“If you like Emily, find her another position and date her.It’s okay if she’s young.”
No.It’s not.
I don’t like how out of control she makes me feel.
