Chapter Twenty-One

After dinner, there was a brief ceremony inducting the four new members into the organization. Then dancing commenced and Jennifer took a spin around the floor with both William and Michael. Michael was the more pleasant as far as she was concerned.

“Jorja is very independent,” Michael said as they waltzed. “I’ve never seen her heel for anyone.”

Jennifer gave him a curious look. “She didn’t,” she said carefully.

“Oh, she certainly backed down faster than she’s ever done with any woman.” He frowned. “Do you think she has a drinking problem?”

“I’m probably just overreacting because my mother has a drinking problem.”

“I see,” he said quietly. “You had a difficult childhood.”

“To say the least,” Jennifer admitted. “But I’m not with Jorja for her money.”

“I imagine not,” he said with a little smile. “If you were, you wouldn’t be concerned about how much she may be drinking. In fact, the drunker the better for you, since in that state you’d be more likely to gain access to her finances.”

She gave him a tentative smile. “I’m just using her for the sex.”

“S—please don’t,” he said and she chuckled at the horror on his face. “I don’t want to know that,” Michael told her. “I’m having a hard enough time accepting that she is gay and, instead of taking her lover out for a drink to threaten to beat him within an inch of his life if he hurts her, I’m dancing with her.”

“I don’t want to hurt her,” Jennifer said softly. “I just want to love her, but Jorja has all the signs of being a stubborn butch.”

He groaned again. “What does that mean?”

“That Jorja’s as hard-headed as any man.”

“I was afraid of that,” Michael said as the song came to an end. “My secretary is coming back Monday, but my wife needs a personal assistant. She runs a shelter, and she does lots of charity work in connection with our business.”

“Don’t tell me. Her last secretary quit?”

He cocked a brow at her. “The job pays. It’s modest, but it keeps you independent.”

“I’d be happy to work with her, she said. “I did that kind of thing on a small scale for my last boss.”

“Jorja mentioned that today,” Michael said. “You’ll start Monday. Jorja can show you Sadie’s offices.”

“Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me. I’m not sure you’re right for Jorja—you’re everything I never wanted for her. This is just for the opportunity to get to know you,” Michael admitted as the song came to an end and he led her from the dance floor.

Jennifer sighed. She might be needing something stronger if the night lasted much longer.

“Grandma, it’s not like I’m forcing him to be late,” Jorja was saying as they approached their table.

“All I’m suggesting is you take him under your wing,” Sadie said. “And teach him.”

Jorja sighed. “He’s not going to listen to me. He’d be better off with Anthony since Anthony is a little older.”

“If that’s the case, then you should start training Willow or Allen,” Jessica suggested, mentioning her own twins.

Jennifer saw the tension in Jorja’s face and immediately pushed aside Michael’s statement.
