CHAPTER FOURTEEN
EMILY
––––––––
Sitting cross-leggedon my bed, with my phone propped up against the pillows, I giggle as Lexi walks me around our local London bar.
“Emily’s in New York, everyone.Say hi,” Lexi calls out.
“Hi Emily!”a round of voices from people I’ve never met yell.
“You clown.”I giggle.
“So,” Lexi says.“Did you tell Sebastian he was a dick-faced asshole for cheating?”
No.
I should have, and I should have quit, but when you fly across the world for a job and he’s your boss and you have no money and...Ishouldhave.
I’m drunk but wide awake and can’t sleep, so I phoned my best friend to chat.Not being able to confide in Terri and Donna was harder the more I drank.
Stupidly, I told one guy as I was dancing, “I’m in love with my boss.Well, not inlove.Inlust.I already sucked his dick.”
The guy disappeared a few minutes later.
“Not yet.Lexi, am I a bad person for still being attracted to him?”
She pouts, considering the question.
“No.You can’t just stop chemistry, but I think you should start looking for a new job.”
She’s right.
I know she is.I have no idea how that will look, given my work history and the fact that Remington Obsidian is sponsoring my work visa.
“He’s asked me to attend a dinner on Sunday night.”I tell her.“I didn’t know that would be expected of me.”
Lexi blinks, sips her drink, and then narrows her eyes.“This sounds suspicious.Who else is going to this dinner?”
I shrug.
“Him and his cock?”Lexi lifts a brow.
I burst out laughing, the water I’m drinking sprays over my bed.
“Lex, oh my god.”
We both keep laughing until the screen changes as another call comes through.
I gasp, my hand flying to my mouth.
Mr.Remington.Holy shit.What is he doing ringing me at midnight?
