Something About Lorelei(37)

After we finished, we both lay on our sides and stared at each other.

“Do you have any regrets about coming here today?” I asked as I stroked her hair.

“Not at all.” She ran her finger in circles around my chest.

“Good. Because I don’t want you to ever have any regrets. Listen, I know you need to go and meet your friend, so maybe we should have a quick glass of champagne and a couple strawberries first.”

“Okay.”

We climbed out of bed and put on the robes that the Trump so nicely supplied. Walking out into the living room of the suite, I opened the champagne and poured us each a glass. As I handed Lorelei some champagne, she picked up a chocolate-dipped strawberry and brought it up to my lips. It was at that very moment when I took a bite and watched the beautiful smile cross her lips that Lorelei Flynn became more to me than just my personal assistant.





Chapter Twenty-Four


Lorelei

I kissed Jack goodbye and hailed a cab to my mom’s house to pick up Hope. On the way home, we stopped and picked up a carryout of Chinese food to take back with us.

“You seem different, Mommy.” Hope smiled as she bit into her egg roll.

“I do?”

“Yeah. You seem happier.”

Crap. I guess that’s what mind blowing sex will do to you.

“I’ve always been happy, baby.”

“I know. But today, you seem extra happy.”

“That’s because I’m here with you.” I tapped her on the nose.

She giggled. Once we finished dinner, I told Hope to sit on the couch and watch TV while I took a shower. After undressing, I stood and looked at myself in the mirror. Hope was right, I did look extra happy today. I needed to tell Jack about my daughter and tomorrow would be the day I would. He would understand, especially after today. The first time we had sex, something happened between us, but today, it grew stronger and he became more to me than just my boss. I completely fell head over heels for him and now there was no turning back. He made himself a place in my heart and he made me happy.

As I was getting ready to leave the hotel, I saw Lorelei’s book lying on the floor next to the chair. It must have fallen out of her bag. I picked it up and sat down on the couch. Opening it, my eyes scanned the designs of various dresses; some casual and some very elegant. I smiled as I flipped through the pages. She was extremely talented and her designs were stunning. It made me wonder why she kept this a secret from me. I closed the book and dialed Tony.

“Are you close? I’m ready to leave.”

“I will be there in about five minutes, Jack.”#p#分页标题#e#

“Okay. Thanks, Tony.”

I grabbed my suitcoat and went down to the lobby and checked out. As I stepped out of the hotel, Tony pulled up.

“I need you to drive me to Lorelei’s apartment. She left something behind and she’ll probably want it tonight.”

“Are you sure she’s home?” he asked.

“She said her friend was coming over for dinner tonight, so that would mean she’d be home.”

“Very well, Jack.”

When Tony pulled up to the curb of Lorelei’s apartment building, I looked around the sketchy area. It bothered me that she lived in this part of Harlem. As I walked up the steps to the building, an elderly lady was walking out the door with her walker. I ran and grabbed the door for her and held it open.

“Thank you, young man.” She smiled.

“You’re welcome. Do you know which apartment is Lorelei Flynn’s?”

“Who wants to know?” She glared at me.

“I’m Jack Sutton, her boss over at Sutton Magazine.” I reached in my pocket, pulled out my business card, and handed it to her. “She left her sketchbook behind at the office and I’m bringing it to her.”

She studied my business card and then looked at me. “She’s in apartment 2C. That’s very nice of you to bring that to her. That book is one of her most prized possessions.”

“I know.” I gave her a smile. “Thank you.”

She simply nodded and walked away. I took the elevator up to the second floor and her apartment. Knocking on the door, I heard a voice on the other side.

“Who is it?”

I frowned. It didn’t sound like Lorelei.

“It’s Jack Sutton.”

I could hear the locks unlocking and then the door opened. I stood there in shock as I stared down at a little girl.

“I’m sorry. I must have the wrong apartment. I’m looking for Lorelei Flynn.”

“That’s my mom.” She smiled.

I swallowed hard and suddenly became very heated as I stared at the little girl with long blonde hair and big blue eyes.
