Regarding her for a moment, Ian made a decision, I do, but not on an empty stomach. Do you have plan for lunch?
that caught her off guard. other than eating it, no. But i have to file some papers at courthouse this afternoon.
He had to get back to the office himself, but that wasn't for a couple of hours. would she be leaving before then? Is there a set time?
Although she had plan to get there in another half an hour or so but in actual fact, she only need to get there before they close for the day, "before five".
He nodded, good, we will be done with phase one by then.
The man definitely talks in riddle, Phase one?, getting to know each other, he responded.
A red light went off her head. was this business meeting, or was it all a sham? her eyes narrowed, I'm afraid i don't follow, you wont be following, you will be in my car. parking will be easier that way. He was already rising to his feet.
Sonia put up her hand like a traffic cop. wait, hold it, she ordered. He needed to clear this up for her, if he was a client, she would cut him a little slack. But if he was trying to come on her, there was no way she was going to go along with this. She didn't need another good looking man creating havoc in her life.Just why do we need to get to know each other?
well, it doesn't have to be reciprocal if you chose not to ask any questions, but i for one need to get to know you. his eyes held hers as he made his point. You don't expect me to just entrust the family fortune to you without knowing who I'm dealing with.
Maybe being in a crowded restaurant with this man wasn't such a bad idea, although they were speaking mostly in generalities, there was this undercurrent of intimacy she found impossible to shake....or to understand. And when he looked at her like that, she caught herself thinking things that weren't entirely professional even though her guard was up.
I am assuming your here on someones recommendation? she asked,
Sitting down again, Ian smiled and she found that just for split second, she needed to remind herself to breathe. Alarms started going off in her head but she couldn't very well just walk away from a client. The head of the firm, Harrison Rothchild, her fathers successor, wasn't a very understanding or forgiving man.
I am, actually, he told her but the recommendation was hardly biased.
She could see how that would happen, all of her and brothers client are satisfied with there work. they were on retainer with a good many clients, something that actually did please Rothchild.
Most of our client tends to be quit sold on us after they make use of our services.
