Although she maintained knowledgeable tone, we each knew precisely what she was doing. She was at work once I arrived this morning and I’d been out and in of conferences since I obtained off the elevator. The workplace was buzzing with plenty of exercise, and I’d barely gotten an opportunity to talk to her. I wanted to see her. To let her know I used to be serious about her.

The workplace door opened, and she or he stepped in with a pen and notepad. “What can I do for you, Mr. Whitman?”

“Sit.” I nodded towards one of many two chairs dealing with my desk.

She took maintain of my tie, slipping it between her fingers. I studied her magnificence in silence for a second earlier than urgent my lips to hers. I needed so badly to put her throughout my desk and fuck her once more, however by the way in which she walked into my workplace, I may inform she was nonetheless sore.

“How are you feeling this morning? We didn’t get to speak earlier than I left your home.”

She grinned, darting her eyes towards the Blue Room, then again at me. “Adequate to step again in there proper now.”

I ran my thumb over her lips. “Vinny and his pals are coming in for a gathering quickly, and I wanted to speak to you first.”

“Behave?” I chuckled. “Sure. Keep out of the way in which?” I stood, lifting my hand to my chin. “I really want you in right here for this one.”

“Why?” Her eyes widened.

“I want you to report the assembly and take notes. This one’s occurring the books for an upcoming trial. I want you in right here on official enterprise this time.”

“Are you going to fuck with me once more?”

I edge you. There’s a distinction.”

She lifted her brows. “Wonderful. No matter you say. You’re the boss.”

“Madison,” I warned, “don’t provoke me.”

She opened her mouth to reply, however I pressed a finger to her lips. I didn’t have time for her brattiness now. I wasn’t achieved with why I referred to as her into my workplace. “I additionally want you to attend an occasion with me on Friday evening.”

“What?”

“As my assistant, not my date.” I sighed. “The annual charity gala Alicia and I attend yearly. Fancy. Stuffy individuals. My assistant normally comes too however I’ve no spouse any longer, and properly,” I gestured to her, “you’re my assistant for now.” I perched on the sting of the desk, nestling my fingers inside my pockets.

“Is it the one you host yearly?”

I nodded. “The identical one you attended with Eliza just a few years in the past.”

“Oh,” she exhaled, “will, um, she be there?”

“She is going to. Vinny will as properly. And Lucas, after all.”

“Okay.”

I knew she needed to say extra. As all the time, her lips parted ever so barely, and my eyes homed in on them. I took a step ahead, reaching for her sides however the door opened, and I took a step again, working my fingers via my hair. Maddie spun round.

“Good afternoon, gents,” I greeted, putting a hand on Maddie’s decrease again. “Desk, now,” I whispered earlier than making my strategy to my desk, grabbing my laptop computer and leather-based binder with the case file inside.

Everybody exchanged their greetings with each Maddie and me, as all of us congregated across the convention desk and settled.
