Chapter Thirteen
Logan
The following afternoon, I went out to buy Ariane a nice dress to wear to the company party. There would be a lot of important CEOs, presidents, and wealthy clients in attendance, and I wanted her to be the best dressed in the room.
She did more than just play her role as my assistant. She was my life coach. My friend. My lover. And I thought I was falling for her. She gave me great advice on how to handle things in different ways than I normally would, and business had been a lot better with her by my side. So, I went all out and bought her a beautiful gown to send along with her invite.
âAre you free tonight?â I texted her while she was out for lunch.
âDepends,â she playfully responded with a heart emoji.
âWell, if you are, I would like to have you on my arm for the company party tonight. You wonât have to worry about finding anything to wear, hair, or makeup. I'll have everything already taken care of for you.â
She was out to lunch with Casey that afternoon, something they made time for at least twice a week. When she didnât respond right away, I got a little nervous about why. Again, my guilty conscience crept up on me. But when she finally responded and said she would love to come, my heart felt lighter, and I was able to breathe again.
âDid you invite Ariane to the CEO party?â
Casey rushed into my home office after work to confront me about the usual. I never invited my assistants to bigger parties, because of the risk of a leak, or anything going wrong. But Ariane was different. She was special to me. I couldnât help myself.
âYeah.â I removed my glasses and folded my hands together. âWhatâs the problem?â
âDad.â She smiled a confused smile. âIs there something going on here that I donât know about? I mean, you know how risky it is to have assistants at these kinds of functions. Someone could get into her head and steal ideas. She could get upset and expose company secrets. Anything. We never bring our assistants along. Are you planning on giving her a different position at the company or something?â
I was glad she didnât ask about our personal life, because I didnât know if I would have been able to hold on to my lie any longer. But I didnât like the fact that she sounded perplexed about Arianeâs loyalty to the company or her ability to move up the ladder.
âI doubt we have anything to worry about with Ariane being there. Sheâs completely devoted to Powerhouse Luxury Designs, and she proves that loyalty every day. Besides, I think her tagging along will be great for the company. There will be some big names in that room tonight. If they see how well versed we all are and how well we work together, it could open the doors for a lot more business. Even for you and your branching out.
