Chapter Twelve

Dinner and a Surprise

JENNIFER BROKE THE stare. She looked down at her feet and muttered something about her shoes before she turned away. Moments later, she exited the room with a pair of low heels on and a small clutch. In the elevator, she dared to meet Andrew’s eyes again.

“How do you know how I always look? You’ve seen me maybe all of two days, and now you’re an expert on how I look?” Her tone was harsher than it should have been.

Andrew avoided looking down at her and faced the closed chrome doors of the elevator. For a moment, he said nothing. When the elevator stopped, he smiled and met Jennifer’s eyes.

“Just because we’ve never spoken before doesn’t mean I’ve never seen you before.” He turned to vacate the elevator before Jennifer could ask more. His stride through the parking garage caused Jennifer to jog every third step in order to keep up.

In the car, Jennifer pulled her seatbelt on and crossed her arms over her chest. Andrew started the engine. She tried to think of all the events where she might have seen Andrew’s face. There were many, but she was certain she had never seen him. His name certainly sounded familiar, but she had never met him previously. Ever. She was sure of it.

In Chicago, wealthy individuals roamed the same crowds. They attended the same events and partied the same way. For her, attending those events were just another part of her routine, of her job as James Melone’s assistant. She remembered how Andrew helped her to save face while dining with the mayor. He certainly seemed to know a lot about her and yet she felt as if she knew nothing about him practically, except what he told her directly. Still, it sounded like he didn’t tell anyone those things that he had told her. A part of her liked that. It felt like she shared a secret with him. Then again, secrets could also be bad.

Jennifer opened her clutch and pulled out several pieces of jewelry, bracelets, and necklaces. She hadn’t had the time to adorn them properly before she left and used the moment to fill the air she felt thickening with unease.

Once at Eddie Merlot’s, they were escorted to a table along a back wall. The atmosphere was just as intimate and magnificent as the air created at the Terrance in between Chicago’s downtown skyscrapers, minus the fabulous outside seating. Instead, dim lighting and short, spacious cushioned chairs greeted them. It seemed crazy to think that hours before she was scaling a mountainside with Andrew. Jennifer grinned and took a seat quickly.

“Pleased with the place?” He asked.

Jennifer nodded. “You seem to know the area well,” she leaned back in the chair and looked around to the other chairs and tables across the restaurant floor. “I like that.”

Andrew chuckled. “My heart will always be with this state,” he leaned forward. “I own land in Estes Park, near Rocky Mountain National Park.”

Jennifer’s eyes widened. “Really? That seems interesting.
