Chapter 7

Max

I hate to leave Alex but I’m stressed over the selling of my Asian Properties. I promised her that I would be more attentive to her and the boys, but until I can get rid of my companies, I can never give her the attention she’s expecting or requiring. I’m sitting in my office gazing out of the window trying to figure something out. I haven’t picked up a contract or read anything lately.

“Hi Max.” It’s Robert. “Why don’t you accept my invitation and go to this bar with me today? You stay in this office all day when you’re not in Hong Kong, then you rush out at night, and you’re in at six am. When do you see your wife and when do you have a chance to enjoy yourself?”

He doesn’t realize that all I have is my wife and my sons. I don’t need anything or anyone. Since Alex came into my life she fills my every need. “I’m not leaving here until you agree to go with me tonight,” Robert says standing facing me, and in front of the panoramic view he glances over the city, and turns with smile. I know what he’s thinking. I felt the same when I first bought this building near Wall Street.

I look down and shuffle my papers on my desk pretending to be busy, hoping Robert would get the hint.

“It’s Friday. I’ve got plenty of contracts to go through. I have to read and sign these papers,” I motion to the stack on my desk. “I don’t know. I promised Alex that I would get home early.” I just told him a lie and I hope he stops pestering me. I can’t afford to let him go, though. I depend on him because of my work load and I feel I can trust him. Where is Jonas when I need him? “Look Robert, I’ll let you know about eight.” Another lie.

“You know I can stay if you want to be home with your family.” I look up and smile. I know he’s trying to make my life a little easier. I guess I have to trust someone but that isn’t my best suit, trusting outside people.

“I can take a few minutes. How about eight? I should be ready then.”

I was hoping he’d say it was too late to go out. “Hell yeah, eight o’clock is good. This town doesn’t start rocking until about eleven. Maybe we can have something to drink and eat first. Then we can get down to the business of having fun. You do know what fun is, don’t you Blackstone?”

He looked at me and I gave him a dry smile, lips closed. I’m sure the word no is foreign to him. That was probably why I hired him. A persistent bastard. I remember it was at Jonas’s insistence. Since when do I take Jonas’s advice?

“You must have taken the F out of fun, Blackstone, but I’m here to put it back,” Robert said with a sly grin lighting up his eyes.
