Chapter 16
Jordan’s limo was parked out front. His driver was an older man and he looked at me as if he didn’t approve. He had probably been driving for him too long and thought or was a part of the family.
“I don’t think he likes me.”
“Smithy doesn’t like anyone. He has been my driver since I was a boy, and his duties were my father’s driver before he retired.” He leaned forward. “Take us to the Millennium Hotel.”
“I have reservations about that place,” I said to Jordan.
“Why, is the food bad?”
“No, I said hesitating. “I use to work there as a waitress.
“Then so much the better,” he said.
“And because Brandon owns the hotel,” I said looking at him saying don’t make me do this.
“I know. Let him eat his heart out,” Jordan said with a satisfied smile.
“I hope that’s not why you’re taking me there.” My eyes swung to Jordan.
“We’re going there because Brandon and I have a deal we are working on together, and the food is great, and he’s picking up the bill. He thinks I’m alone. I’m going to surprise him.”
I didn’t say a word. I let Jordan talk. He talked about his family and how long they had been in banking. He talked about his father and mother and how they met. And how they wanted him to be married but he hadn’t found anyone he would marry because he spent all of his time in the bank.
***
The limo pulled up to the hotel and my legs quivered at the thought of seeing Brandon because I was with Jordan. Jordan helped me out and the doorman closed the door to the car. Then he ran to open the glass doors leading into the elegant hotel. I had been there many times but never walked through the front door. I left the hotel in Brandon’s car through a side door.
Jordan placed his arms around my waist and led me to the left of the hotel where the discreet restaurant sat for only its special customers. It was a small elegant restaurant, but the hotel had several restaurants situated inside the large specialty hotel. I had never worked in that restaurant because only male waiters handled that area. Probably because the tips were high and the executives who came there drank excessively and they thought men were more discrete.
Spencer had worked there before. When I asked him what went on in there, he only said, “You don’t want to know.” Now I will get a chance to find out. We took an elevator to the twenty-first floor.
We walked in the dining area with its silk white table cloths, chandeliers hovering over each table set with fine English china and an expensive view of New York City. Sitting at a table in the corner was Brandon and a young woman. He stood startled. His eyes traveled to mine and I surveyed the dark haired young woman sitting next to him. Jordan kept his arms around my waist leading my body to Brandon and the young woman, set against a view to die for.
