desire to spend time with me, thatâs fine, but I canât say I agree that everything will be just fine when you do find time.â
âOf course I have a desire to be with you, and I find time all the time. I see you at least a few times a week. So donât make this something that it isnât, J. Iâm sorry you feel that way, but I have to go. A client is waiting on me.â
Jordan hung up almost wishing sheâd never called him back. Of course, Jayon managed to make her feel needy and overly sensitive. Jordan hated coming off as if she was needy of anyone or anything. Still, she had to admit she did feel a bit happier when she was around Jayon. She didnât know if that stemmed from her relationship with Omar, and having been used to always having someone at home with her, but either way, she knew that it wasnât working out so well with Jayon.
As soon as she hung up, her secretary popped her head in the doorway, as she usually does when she sees the green light disappear on the phone.
âYou have a Mr. Darren Williams here for you,â she said.
âOh, okay. Send him in,â Jordan said, getting right back in the beat of things.
She began to remove some paperwork from directly in front of her, and before she was done, Mr. Williams was standingin her doorway.
âHello, Darren,â Jordan said as she stood to shake his hand. âTake a seat.â
Darren walked over and took a seat in the black plush seats in front of Jordanâs desk.
âWhat brings you to see me today?â she asked.
âI was in the area, and I wanted to come ask you some questions face-to-face, but now that Iâm here, Iâm thinking I shouldâve called instead.â
âWhy?â Jordan asked, confused.
âBecause I canât have the serious conversation I need to have when I have to look at you.You look stunning.â
âThank you, Darren, but thatâs a bit insulting.Youâre saying that I canât do my job.â
âNot at all, Iâm saying I canât do mine,â he said, laughing.
Jordan was trying not to blush and remain professional.The truth was she hated when men made her gender and looks an issue in their business relationship.
âI apologize, Jordan. No disrespect intended,â Darren continued.
âIâll try not to be offended. Iâm your attorney; you can call, e-mail, or visit whenever you like ... and your compliments are not going to change your bill,â Jordan said, laughing to lift any tension that had settled.
Darren laughed back. âSo let me get down to business, since Iâm being billed for this time.â
âMight as well,â Jordan replied.
âWell, I just came from a meeting with the two other owners,and they have some ideas that differ significantly from mine. We discussed separating the company into different areas, and my funds would go solely to the things I agree with. Is that possible?â
Jordan was watching Darren and his mannerisms as he explainedhis situation. She couldnât help but notice his muscular arms as he moved them and his beautiful teeth as his full lips moved over them. Once he was done, Jordan carried on like she wasnât sizing him up in her mind.
âWell, Darren, it seems complicated but definitely possible. There will just have to be some agreements drafted to clarify the terms of what your partners and you decide upon.â
âSo, should I arrange a meeting with them and have you present?
âThatâs fine. I would suggest they have their attorneys there too.â
âOK, so I will talk to them and get back to you with a date.â
âSounds perfect. Let me know and Iâll have my secretary lock it up in my calendar.â
Darren began to stand and walk toward the door.
âGreat, so Iâll be in touch.Thanks for your time,â he said as he made his way toward the door.
âNo problem. Speak to you
