Thirty minutes later, we were sitting in the restaurant where I met Emery, eating lunch with Brent, Angela, and Dominique. How she invited herself, I had no clue. Someone should tell her about wearing loud, strong perfume from Elisabeth Arden. It made me nauseous.

“Are you enjoying your steak, Jackson?” Dominique asked, and Angela furrowed her brows in annoyance.

“It’s fine. How’s your salad?”

“Dry like her personality,” Angela muttered under her breath. Brent nudged her to be quiet, and I tried to hold in my laugh and take a sip of my water.

“Excuse the help, Jackson. Brent’s often trying to refine his side pieces by taking them out to nice restaurants. But as you can see, she still has no class,” Dominique responded and rolled her eyes as Angela tried to lunge at her as Brent pulled her back.

“Bitch! I’ll show you, class. At least I can keep a man,” Angela grumbled and picked her fork back up to continue eating her pasta salad.

“I can take the rest of the day off. What did you have in mind?” Dominique responded as she licked her lips and moved in, closing the space between us.

Taking a step back, I looked around the room, hoping paparazzi left before catching any innocent flirtation.

“You know what, I have a meeting I need to get to. Do you need a ride back to your office or—"

“What does she have that I don’t? From what I’m seeing, you’d be upgrading with me on your arm. Just think about it, Mr. Pierce.” Dominique patted my chest, tightened my tie, and leaned on her tippy toes to kiss my cheek. Watching as she bent over and grabbed her coat and
