CHAPTER TEN

Dinner In

Marisol was impressed by the clothes Cheryl brought. The underwear was lacy and fit her perfectly. There were a couple pairs of slack and shirts, as well as skirts. There was a selection of T-shirts and button downs. Marisol felt very blessed that Cheryl went through so much trouble for her.

For tonight, Marisol picked a pair of black jeans and a white button-down shirt. Her hair was growing in from the close crop that she kept because of the wigs she usually wore, so she picked at it with her fingers, twisting it into small dreads to give a different look to it. Looking in the mirror, with no wig and no make-up, Marisol understood why the police officer at the hotel didn’t recognize her. She didn’t look like her state pictures at all.

Cheryl had set the table, including a bottle of wine, when Marisol came out of her bedroom. The buzzer at the service entrance rang, and she took the bag and wrote out the tip. This time she put ten dollars as the tip which, judging by the disinterested look on his face, was probably more in line with what he usually got.

Marisol wasn’t sure if she should put out the food in bowls, but then heard the front elevator open as she hurried to bring bowls to the table.

“Hi,” she said when he came to the table.

“What’s all this?”

“I have it on good authority that you like Thai.”

“Oh that wicked woman,” said Ryan, but he smiled an earthshattering grin when he looked at Marisol. “Very nice,” he said. “Let me get out of these work clothes. Turn on the television, will you? I’d like to watch the closing stock reports. And while you’re at it, bring the food to the coffee table. I know my mom has a thing for eating at the table, but at night, I like to relax a bit before I work again.”

Ryan returned wearing a pair of sweats and a black tee that hugged every muscle in his arms and chest. He was gorgeous, and her knees weakened at the sight of him. She had never felt this way about a man, and she turned her eyes away, afraid she would betray her emotions.

“Come,” he said, patting the couch beside him. “Sit with me.”

Marisol settled in next to him as he filled a plate and handed it to her.

“You have to try the Panang curry. Very spicy, but very good.”

He made his own plate, and when the stock news came on, he watched it intently. When it was finished he huffed.

“Well, that didn’t turn out so well,” he said.

“What?”

“I’ve been watching the news on a company I wanted to invest in, but it appears they don’t have the goods to make a purchase worthwhile.”

“What company is that?”

“Dalaysia Mining. The government of Kreigov optioned all the stores of Dalaysia’s indium oxide in a new trade agreement.”

“You’ll have to tell me. Why is indium oxide so important?”

“It’s important to my company because it’s an ingredient key in making touchscreens, which is one thing KelTech, my company, makes.
