Chapter 15

Jimmy

“Hello, Jimmy.”

“Nina. How’s your morning going?” I asked.

“Going well,” she said with a yawn.

“Are you still in bed?”

“Does it matter to you where I am?” she asked. “What do you need?”

“I’m calling because I’m meeting with a client today. A very important one. And I need you to meet me here so we can go to him.”

“Ah, one of those clients. But I can’t today.”

“Excuse me?” I asked.

“I have plans that I’ve moved three times because of you. I can’t move them another time. Otherwise, they’re going to be very upset.”

“Then I’ll call them myself. But I need you here.”

“Jimmy, I can’t make it. I’m sorry.”

“With all due respect, if you want your money, then you’re going to have to come help me. This is the nature of our arrangement. You knew this going in.”

“I know that,” she said. “But I didn’t realize how much you would need me all the time. It’s getting to be a bit much.”

“Then we can end our arrangement, and you can go find a job,” I said.

“Or you could increase what you’re giving me a month.”

“This negotiation doesn’t happen right before a meeting, and before you ask me why the answer is ‘because I said so.’ I need you here at five o’clock dressed in something sharp. This client is huge, and if I can nail him, then it—”

“Fine, fine. I’ll cancel my plans for the fourth time. But if they’re upset, I’m sending them your way.”

“Good. It’ll be nice to know who’s more important than your job,” I said.

I hung up the phone and put my head in my hands. No? Who in the world did Nina think she was? This was the sum of our relationship. She got a free ride through life on my dime if she came when I called. And she felt like she could say no? She’d never said no to me before. What the hell had changed?

What made her think she was the one running this show?

I tried to distract myself with work for the rest of the day. I rushed Ashley’s paperwork down to Human Resources and told them to put an urgent priority on this. I wanted Ashley working her new job by Monday with the adjusted salary in place. I wanted all hands on deck for when I walked out with my win this afternoon.

Because with Nina on my arm and a shark on my tongue, there was no way I was losing this.

I heard Nina’s high heels clicking around the corner. She walked into the room, and I could feel her heated gaze on me. I pointed to the chair in the room, and she sat down. Then, I finished up what I was doing before I looked up.

“That a new dress?” I asked.

“I bought it in New York, yes,” she said.

“I like the white jacket. Looks like you killed your children’s puppies to have it made.”

“Anything to make me look intimidating, right?” she asked.

“Come on,” I said. “We’re meeting this client for dinner, and he doesn't like to be kept waiting.
