about a week. We have some very important clients to deal with. These are big rollers so we need to get on it immediately.”
“Oh, you know us, Mr. Sinclair. W e’ll get this work done quickly,” said Janet.
God, you’re drooling Janet. The only work you do is your nails!
“Good to hear, good to hear.”
“Ms. Davies, you look lovely today,” he said, as he turned to me.
Lovely? Did this man God call me lovely?
“The agency has been very impressed with your work and I wanted to repay you for what you have brought to us. Some of our clients are every happy. You’re promotions have been exceptional.”
“Thank you, just doing my job here.”
“I was wondering if you had plans for tonight.”
Me? Is there another Lauren in this office I don’t know about? “No, I am free.”
“Wonderful. I want to treat you for the work you have done. The limousine will be out front at five. I’ll be waiting for you. It’s casual so you’re business attire is fine.”
“I look forward to it. Thank you, Mr. Sinclair. That’s such a nice gesture.”
Dinner? Me? Holy crap!
I got up after he left and went to the bathroom to splash cold water on my face. I put my hand on my heart. Still beating, that’s a good sign . I pinched my arm. Nope, not dreaming .
The rest of the afternoon was uneventful but the two giggle twins were very quiet. It was nice to work without the two of them yapping away. I watched my clock tick away the minutes at fifteen minutes to five. I was nervous but excited at the same time. I took the elevator down and sure enough, right outside was a long stretch limo. I went through the doors and the drive r opened the door for me. Inside, Craig smiled at her.
Chapter 2
The limo drove out into the city and Craig poured a glass of champagne for the two of us. I wasn’t sure what was going on with him.
“So, where are we going for dinner? I hope it’s not fancy. You did say casual.”
“No restaurant,” he said sipping his drink. “I’m taking you to my penthouse. My cooks will make you an excellent meal.”
Penthouse? His home?
“How do you like your steak?”
“Uh, medium.”
He pressed a button. “Donaldson, let them know that Ms. Davies wants a medium steak.”
The driver came back on the intercom. “Right away, sir.”
“Steak, lobster, veggies, the works. Sound good?”
“It sounds heavenly.”
“I have several homes around the world, estates, the typical properties for a man with my wealth. I think I like my penthouse here the best. You can see the whole city. It’s amazing at night.”
“I bet.”
“There, that complex coming up.”
I look up at the tall skyscraper we approached. The limo went under into the parking garage. Craig got out as the drive opened his door. He went around to my side, opening my door. He took my hand. “Please, allow me.”
“Thank you.”
We got out and the driver left us. As we approached the elevator doors.
“Getting hungry?” he said as he briefly brushed my shoulder.
“Starving.”
The elevator doors stopped at the top and we got out. His place was gigantic. The floors were all oak with exquisite leather furniture. A big fake fireplace with lovely stone was in the middle surrounded by all sorts of couches and tables. The walls were decorated with paintings and there were various statues around the room. One statue was that of dragon. It looked about three feet high and made out of jade. Glass went around the entire suite. To one side of the main room, was a large black grand piano.
I could smell the steaks cooking in the kitchen. A servant came out and poured wine at the table . On that table sat a giant bouquet of red roses. Ok, now I know something is up !
He led me by my arm. “Please, let’s sit and enjoy our meal.”
“Yeah,” I said. My brain tried to process everything. “Let’s eat.”
We sat down and the servants brought our plates. Steam rose from the food which looked incredible.
“Thank
