Savannah

Downstairs, I take a deep breath and press a hand to my chest. I hope I didn’t just make a huge mistake. Mr. Force gave me an opening to tell him about Marcus Hunt’s duplicity and I didn’t. My gut told me he wasn’t ready to listen.

But I need to confront this situation. Nothing good will come of waiting.

With ideas floating through my head, I grab the salad bowl and the bottle of dressing, then head back upstairs. Mr. Force is still at the table, his plate mostly finished. He’s poured me another glass of wine.

“Sit.” He gestures.

I comply. “Salad?”

“I’m full. Why did you run off?”

“I wanted more.” I scoop romaine onto my plate, despite the fact I’m not hungry. “To answer your question, I’m reluctant to talk about Marcus without a deeper conversation.”

“As it happens, he’d like to talk to you, too.” Mr. Force shoves his plate aside and props that intriguing square chin on his big fist. “When he tried to ring your cell earlier, he got a message that your number is unavailable.”

Instantly, my face goes up in flames. “I, um…need to add more credit to my phone. It must have run out during my move and—”

“I’ll take care of it.” He grabs his own device, presses a few buttons, then sets it aside. “You’ll have a new one in the next two hours.”

Certainly he doesn’t mean to keep. “I appreciate you letting me borrow—”

“It’s yours. It will be paid up for the next six months.” He smiles. “That way, when you need to make another call, you don’t use mine.”

I wince. Shit. I forgot to delete my call history. “I’m sorry. I had to check on Renee. She got evicted and—”

“I take it that means you did as well?”

Could this get more embarrassing? “By default. I was only there for two days. I just moved to Boston.”

“Well, maybe things are looking up for you.”

“Maybe.” God, I hope so. “This is the oddest job interview I’ve ever been on.”

“It’s the longest I’ve ever given. Consider it a compliment. I usually know in the first two minutes how long the candidate will last in the chair. You, I’m still trying to figure out.”

“I’ll always do my best to give you what you need and perform above expectations.”

“I have no doubt of that.”

Mr. Force looks like he has something else on his mind, but he drops the subject and glances at the clock on his nightstand. “Shall we dive into the Asian markets?”

“Let me clear the dishes away, then I’ll be right with you.” It will be a treat to see how the famously brilliant Chad Force breaks down emerging financial information. Even if he doesn’t hire me permanently, I’ll have learned something valuable.

But you’ll still be unemployed. And you’ll have to give up your time with this amazing man. Face it, you’re into him…

It’s true. And some part of me wonders if he’s into me, too. It’s nothing he’s said, per se. But I’ve caught an occasional flash of interest in his expression.
