CHAPTER SIX

A dam and Wyatt spent all week documenting the operations of the various departments and senior level positions at Weston Commercial. After the first day of lunch together, I didn’t see Wyatt much. Adam kept him busy and away from me as much as possible. Out of sight almost equaled out of mind. Not much has changed in the past ten years in that area.

He’s never very far from my thoughts. Always lurking in the back of my mind, waiting to pounce with full force when I least suspect it.

It’s finally Friday, and I have the board members nailed down. After spending countless hours on the phone and in meetings, I’ve filled all the positions, and they’re ready to start picking Wyatt’s brain before finalizing his replacement. But first, they insist on having a dinner party at an exclusive executive club. They claim the relaxed atmosphere makes everything seem friendlier and helps acquisitions go smoother. I say they just want an excuse to meet for food and drinks, but if that’s what it takes to get Wyatt Weston out of my life for good, I’m game.

“Wyatt, can I speak to you in my office, please?” I ask when I approach him and Adam in the conference room.

“Of course.”

He follows close behind me, and the spicy scent of his masculine cologne assails my senses. Focusing on the task at hand is suddenly extremely difficult. I mentally shake off the distraction and gesture toward the open seat in front of my desk.

“The board members are confirmed, so we’re ready to move to the next step. They requested we join them at The Fresian Executive Club tonight at eight for cocktails and dinner. They prefer to meet under social conditions before they begin the official exit interview process. I’m sorry for the late notice. The chairman contacted me last night, and I didn’t want to disturb you because it was already late. Can you arrange to be there?”

“I think I can rearrange my schedule and make it work. My date may not be very pleased with me.”

“You’re welcome to bring her. Everyone will have a plus one—dates, significant others, mistresses, whatever.”

He has a date tonight. I should be glad. No temptations. No second thoughts. No regrets. This is almost over.

“Are you bringing a date tonight, Megan?”

My stare is impassive as I ignore his question and write down the address to the club. “Be here by eight tonight. The dress code is business formal.”

He takes the paper from me, his fingers brush across mine and hold on. That old flash of electricity shoots up my arm. My eyes fly up to his, and I know he feels it too. But he’s watching for my reaction, checking my feelings for him, testing my resolve. I jerk my arm away and narrow my eyes at him.

“Don’t be late, Wyatt. Don’t waste our time.”

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world, Megan.”
