Chapter 15

Mona

I climbed out of the shower slowly. Had he really seen me like this, totally naked? I hoped he didn’t think I left the door hanging open intentionally. I was sure I had closed it, but either I was wrong or it had swung open on its own.

My head spun as I dried myself and I quickly slipped into my pajamas. The fabric was thick flannel, cozy, and I was able to forget for a second that my boss had just seen me completely naked.

My stomach rumbled. I was starving, and I couldn’t stay in here forever. Placing my hand on the door handle, I felt as though I might explode with nervousness. I just needed to breeze by this. I was a professional, and nothing that happened would change that.

I opened the door and Oliver was waiting outside, standing at the opposite end of the room, as though placing as much distance between us as possible would somehow shield us from any more uncomfortable situations.

“The food’s here.”

He gestured to the food spread bountifully on the table in front of him. There were a couple of salads and a steaming plate of something.

As I approached, I caught a waft of sweet, heavenly cinnamon, and my mouth began to water. I tentatively approached him and realized that the lights around us were low, the soft glow softening his features and creating a romantic atmosphere.

I wanted to reach out and slip my arms around him, to let him know I didn’t mind him looking at me. In fact, I wanted more. But I knew that I had to remain professional. I was here because I had proven to be an invaluable part of the project and I couldn't jeopardize the deal when we were this close to signing the contract.

I took a seat, pulled one of the salads toward me and began to eat.

“What’s that?” I asked, pointing to the small ramekin in front of me. It was steaming, and the sweet, fruity scent was amazing.

“Apple crumble,” he replied as he took his seat opposite me and began to eat his own salad. “I had it in London before, and it’s really good. Just what we need on a night like tonight.”

“Sounds perfect,” I agreed.

We continued to eat in silence, and I wondered if we were going to acknowledge what had just happened. I certainly wasn’t going to be the one to bring it up.

“So, when’s the meeting tomorrow?”

I finally broke the silence, forcing the words out just to get rid of the awkwardness.

“Eleven, I think,” he replied, glancing at his watch and frowning. “I need to catch up to local time.”

“I’m surprised they didn’t put your watch forward on the plane,” I teased. “They had everything else covered.”

“Yeah, except getting the rooming arrangements right,” he grumbled. “I’m so sorry about this.”

“I mean, we did give them the impression that we were married,” I pointed out through a mouthful of food.

The salad was delicious, and I didn’t even want to think how much the meal in front of us cost.
