âLetâs have it,â Alex said the moment Amanda finished hanging up their coats. She hadnât looked him in the eye once since leaving the coffee shop.
She carried the bag of muffins to the kitchenette and fished around the cabinets for plates. After placing a muffin on each dish, she retrieved utensils and carried the lot to the small glass-and-steel high-top bar table. Her movements were deliberate and graceful, but he didnât need his body-language-reading skills to recognize she was stalling.
âAmanda?â
Her wary grey eyes finally met his. âHow much has Julia already told you?â
Not nearly enough. No matter how hard heâd tried to pry information out of his friendâs new bride, Julia had stayed closemouthed about anything that mattered about her former Vassar roommate. The only details sheâd shared had been useless stuff heâd already figured out.
âOnly that your split with Wilks has left you disinterested in a new relationship.â
And Julia had only volunteered that because Amanda continued to shoot Alex down at every turn despite the obvious chemistry between them. He knew women too well to misread the awareness he saw in Amandaâs eyes.
She ruffled her short blond hair with her fingers. The strands fell more or less back into place, but she didnât run to a mirror to check it. Amandaâs lack of primping was just one of the things he liked about her. Her long, lean body didnât hurt, and the fact that she was confident enough to wear sexy-as-hell heels despite her height was a total turn-on.
âYou heard Curtis. I have a banknote coming due and Iâm running a little short. But that wonât affect my ability to plan this event for you.â
A wise man would back away from a company in financial trouble. But he wasnât feeling wise at the moment.
He shoved his hands in his pockets. âDo you need a loan?â
Her eyes widened and then her long lashes fluttered down. She focused on peeling the paper off the muffin. âIâll talk to the bank about an extension. Now, about your partyââ
He wasnât going to let her change the subject that easily. âSpill it, Amanda. All of it. And then Iâll decide whether or not weâll do business.â
Her chin tilted in a defensive angle. âI am very careful about budgeting and planning ahead. Weâll have a contract. You donât have to worry that Iâll take your deposit and pay my creditors and stiff the people we engage for your event.â
âI wasnât. But if youâre so good with budgets how did the shortfall happen? Is business slow? Iâve heard nothing but accolades about your work.â
She shoved her dish aside with a wistful glance at the muffin sheâd crumbled into a messy pile. Instead of looking at him, she concentrated on wiping her chocolate-dotted fingers on a paper napkin. Stalling again.
âItâs my fault, really. I made the mistake of allowing Curtis to help me set up the books and accounts for Affairs by Amanda.
âIt worked well for a while. But then my operating capital started disappearing. At first
