course. I’m so sorry! Ms. Montenegro, please forgive me,” she gasped and extended her hand. “I’m Betty , his personal assistant. Please call me if you need anything at all and I’m terribly sorry for making you wait out here instead of in Mr. Montenegro’s office. It won’t happen again.”
Emma took the woman’s hand gratefully, but looked confused. “Don’t worry at all. I didn’t mind sitting out here. And it would seem like a terrible invasion of Mr. ….um, Jason’s privacy if I went into his office without him.”
Betty sighed with relief. She’d worked for other executives in the past and some of the wives had been more haughty than the men who paid their bills. “Thank you very much.” She glanced down at the brochure again, then handed it back to Emma. “Here. We don’t want to leave this laying around. I don’t think Mr. Montenegro would appreciate others knowing about….this…” she said and smiled.
Emma agreed and slid the brochure into her file folder once again, not wanting to relinquish the information anyway. “You’re absolutely correct. Does he have time on his calendar tomorrow?”
Betty glanced at her computer. “I will reschedule his meetings tomorrow to ensure that he’s there. What time?”
Emma shook her head. “Oh, please, make it at Jason’s convenience. I can be there anytime. Make it whenever it’s easiest for you to reschedule all of his appointments. This is probably a huge burden to you but I’m very grateful for your help.”
Betty flushed under Emma’s praise and sympathy for all that it would require to shift around appointments on Jason’s calendar. But then again, people made time for Jason, it wasn’t the other way around so it wasn’t as difficult. “Let’s make it at ten o’clock in the morning, is that okay?” she asked.
Emma smiled. “That’ would be perfect. I’ll meet him there to introduce him to the doctors.”
Betty set the appointment and sent the address to Jason’s calendar as well as his chauffer’s so they would both know where to go. “It’s all set,’ she said.
“Thank you very much!” she replied, then happily walked off to the elevators. As she stepped in to the elevator to descend to the lobby once again, she thought about how nice it was to meet kind, helpful people. What a difference!
Out in the street, she walked over to Tim and smiled as he held the door open. “Tim, I’m going to get a job!” and she ducked into the back seat.

Jason looked out the window and saw the discreet name over the door. “Why are we stopping here?” he asked his driver, Tony who also seconded as a body guard when needed.
Tony turned in his seat. “This is the address Betty gave me. She said Emma gave it to her yesterday.”
This wasn’t a hotel, he thought with suspicion. He dropped the papers back into his folder and laid it beside h im on the leather seat. “Fine,” he growled, unusually irritated for a men about to have sex with a beautiful woman, he thought.
He walked through the doors and was instantly greeted by a man in a laboratory coat. “Mr. Montenegro?” he asked in hushed tones, pushing his glasses higher up on his no se. “I’m Doctor Fiori, the Director of our facility,” he explained. “If you’ll come this way?”
He started to go down the hallway and turned back to smile at Jason. “Normally I give these responsibilities to the nurses, but with someone of your stature and responsibilities, I thought it would be more appropriate to escort you through the process myself.” He stopped at a door.
Jason saw Emma sitting in the hallway and she stood up as soon as she saw him. Her smile barely reached those lovely eyes and he detected a soft blush as she looked away but he had no idea what was going on.
“Here we are,” Dr. Fiori
