One hundred and forty million… That deal was every businessman's wet dream and yet it left a bitter taste in my mouth. Instead of feeling euphoric and giving my father a smug call as soon as it was socially acceptable to do so, I was sitting at my desk, glancing from the clock on my screen to Ava’s empty desk much too often for my own sanity.

She was not late yet. Actually, she still had thirty minutes before her starting time, but she was usually early and I was not comfortable with how unsettling it was for me that she would deviate from her usual routine.

I was about to text her when my phone rang showing Ben’s number.

“Who died?” I asked, picking up the phone, only half joking. It had to be serious for him to call me at that time.

“What? No one.” He sounded wide awake and not drunk. He sounded even… excited.

“It’s 3 am in New York. Aren’t you supposed to either be sleeping or fucking?”

He chuckled. “I didn’t have time. A rumor spread like wildfire about Hardings investing an insane amount of money into our new project.”

“I see.” It had to have been Elmhurst opening his big mouth and finding excuses for how he could not invest because Hardings was there.

Getting Hardings to invest was already a long shot and him offering such an amount was unheard of. He was the worst investor there was but also the best.

“Everyone had been calling me since they found out about it. We are crawling with offers.”

I nodded and let out a little huff of relief when I saw her appear in my line of vision. She threw me a small tentative smile, and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling back, even if I knew it would be better if I didn’t.

I could not really give amiability a chance, because this woman was extraordinary. She was not only beautiful, she was also brave, kind, astute and very smart… She was dangerous.

“…much?”

“What?” I asked, finally breaking eye contact with Ava, the Sorceress.

Ben sighed. “Tell me the assistant just arrived without telling me the assistant just arrived.”

I rolled my eyes. “What did you ask?”

“I asked what you’d given him to invest that much because whatever it was—”

“I took Ava with me. I find that going to these types of dinner with a feminine partner helps keep the atmosphere a little more relaxed.” I leaned back on my chair, looking up at the ceiling. “It worked a little too well.”

“In what way?” he asked warily.

“She is going on a date with him tonight.”

“He paid one hundred and forty million just for a date with her?”

I frowned, not really liking the dismissal in his tone. I also didn’t like how much it bothered me.

“It feels like I’m selling her and it’s wrong.”

Ben laughed and then stopped. “Oh, you’re serious? Since when do you have any type of moral qualm about a woman serving your interests?”

I sighed, shaking my head. How could I explain
