This isn’t over.I want to fuck your pussy again.
I delayed the meeting a couple of days but was told we had to meet.So here I am, walking into the bank.
I’ve worked from home to avoid Drew since.We can’t keep doing this.He knows we can’t.I think I need to accept the buyout and walk out of his life.
Unfortunately, some tough financial decisions now need to be implemented.
Are you closing the stores?
Yes.
Which means my ten percent share will end up being worthless.This is not how I wanted to go into the meeting with the bank today, but I have to face the facts.
One of them, Drew Carrington, is enjoying the sexual games we are playing, but they will never mean anything more to him.Meanwhile, I’m having daydreams about him having afternoon tea with my daughter.
Last time I went to the New York Zoo, I was about ten years old.Tell Zoe I accept her offer.
We are both playing a dangerous game.
I push thoughts of him out of my head and smile when the bank manager steps out of his office.
“Mrs.Ford, come through,” Mr.Johnson says.
“Thank you.”I place my Louis Vuitton purse on the seat next to me and cross my legs.
“So, well done on selling the business.”He nods.
“Thank you,” I reply, sucking in my cheeks because it might be happy news for him, but it’s not exactly a victory in my life.
And it’s not going to pay the dividends I’d hoped.
Should I tell him, or buy myself some more time?
“Obviously, we need to discuss the plan going forward, as the number wasn’t what we were hoping for.”
I swallow.
New York is an extremely expensive place to live, one of the priciest in the world.Anthony bought us a multimillion-dollar penthouse, and the payments are staggering.
With no income after my contract ends, and very little employment opportunities—zero, in fact—there is a strong chance I’m going to vomit.
The manager slides a printout across the desk, and my stomach silently lurches.
“Here is the current situation.”
“Yes,” I say, knowing I have gone pale.
“The interest is building, I’m afraid.The payments from Obsidian Capital are not even covering the monthly requirements.”
Oh.
“There are also the shares,” I say, knowing full well there isn’t.I think of Zoe and the decision I have to make, and tears threaten to well in my eyes.
No.
I will not cry in front of this man.
“Do you have a projection for those?”
