PARKER DEVEREAUX looked up as the door to his office opened.

When Jade Marconi strode into the room, he immediately rose to his feet. His employer smiled at the slightly outdated but still sweet action. He just couldn’t help it. A gentleman stood when a lady did. He moved around the desk.

“How may I help you, Ms. Marconi?” he asked politely as he held one of the leather wingback chairs for her.

“I won’t beat around the bush, Parker. I have a problem and you’re going to fix it for me,” she said directly. “Gitano Firenze made a rather unexpected trip to meet with us. I don’t need to explain what he means to our overseas interests. He can make or break our project in Italy.”

“I see,” he said, his mind whirring as he worked on the problem. “What do you need me to do?”

“Ever the knight in shining armor.” She chuckled. “I will bring Mr. Firenze to your house for dinner at seven. He’s old-fashioned to a certain extent, so home-cooked would be best. Do you know your way around a kitchen?”

“It won’t be a problem, Ms. Marconi,” he said with utter confidence. Greg, on the other hand, was going to kill him.

“That’s good to hear, Parker,” she said as she rose from the chair. “And how many times do I have to tell you to call me Jade?”

“It just doesn’t seem… proper,” he protested.

“Appropriate or not, I’ve asked you to call me by my first name. ‘Ms. Marconi’ makes me feel old somehow.” She chuckled. “I’m off to the airport to meet Mr. Firenze’s plane. We’ll see you at seven sharp.” Oh yes, Greg was going to kill him… slowly.
