Something About Lorelei(14)
“He is. But don’t worry. We have the whole weekend to ourselves.”
“Okay.”
“You understand, right?”
“Yeah. I know it’s your job.”
“Thanks, baby. I’ll make it up to you.”
She went and sat on my bed while I got ready for dinner. The Four Seasons was a fancy place and I needed to dress appropriately. I went to the back of my closet and pulled out a short black dress I had made a few months ago but never had the occasion to wear.
“What do you think?” I asked Hope as I held it up to me.
“I like it.” She smiled.
After slipping into the dress, I twisted my hair up in a clip and freshened up my makeup. I heard the front door open and Hope leaped off the bed to run and see Stella and Sebastian.
“Look at you, fancy girl.” Stella smiled as she walked into the bedroom. “Looking all hot for the boss.”
“Oh, please. You know The Four Seasons is fancy.”
“I know, but somehow, I have a feeling Mr. Sutton’s jaw is going to drop when you walk in.”
“Oh, it will drop, and I’m sure some yelling will be coming out when it does.”
She laughed and I put on my heels.
“Thanks again for coming over.”
I walked into the living room and Sebastian whistled when he saw me. I smacked him on the chest with a smile, kissed Hope goodbye, and headed to The Four Seasons.
When I arrived at the restaurant, the hostess led me to the table where Jack was already seated.
“Wow,” he spoke. “You look great. I like that dress. Where did you get it?”#p#分页标题#e#
“I made it,” I replied as I sat down in the seat across from him.
His eyes widened. “You made that?”
“Yes.”
He tilted his head. “Is there something I don’t know about you?”
I let out a light laugh. “What do you mean?”
“You rearranged the outfits in my office to make them look better and now you’re wearing a spectacular-looking dress that you yourself made.”
I picked up the glass of water that was in front of me and took a sip. “I studied at Parsons for a couple of years.”
“Interesting. You didn’t graduate?” he asked.
“No. I had to drop out due to a family emergency, so I lost my scholarship. I couldn’t afford to go back.”
“I see. How did I not know you were a fashion girl?”
“You never asked, I guess.”
“Then I’m going to have to start asking more questions.” He winked.
Narrowing my eye at him, I spoke, “You said you didn’t like the outfits I put together.”
“My sister did and that’s all that matters. And it’s not that I didn’t like them. I was pissed they weren’t exactly what I asked for.”
Chapter Ten
Jack
I used the launch party as an excuse to have dinner with Lorelei. After she said good night to me, and when I watched her walk down the hallway and step onto the elevator, the thought of not seeing her again until Monday bothered me. I already had plans tonight with Kate but cancelled them so I could have dinner with Lorelei, even though I knew sex wouldn’t be part of the evening plans.
“Can I see your hand?” I asked.
“Excuse me?” She cocked her head.
My lips gave way to a small smile. “Let me see your hand.” I placed my palm face up on the table.
“Why?”
“Lorelei, I don’t bite.”
She hesitantly reached across the table and placed her hand in mine. Fuck. Her hand was so soft and my cock was on the rise. I ran my fingers softly along hers.
“You have long, slender fingers, which indicates creativity.” I smiled.
The only thing at that moment I could think of was how good those long fingers would feel wrapped around my cock. Shit.
“I’ve heard that before.” She smiled back.
Touching her was too much and the rage of fire erupting through my body was unbearable. I let go of her hand and took a sip of my drink.
“Garrett didn’t tell you anything about me?” she asked.
“No, and he knows he doesn’t have to. I trust him to hire the best people for me.”
“But you’ve already been through fourteen assistants.”
“And how do you know that?” I casually smiled.
“Your mother told me. She said she hopes I stay longer than your last fourteen PAs.”
I chuckled. “Well, Garrett wasn’t to blame, or maybe he was. Who knows. But I have a feeling he made the right choice this time.”
“We’ll see. Won’t we?” She smirked and my cock reached its full rise.
“What else is there about you that I should know?”
