CHAPTER THREE

I handed Mandy four crisp hundred-dollar bills. “This should pay up what I owe you for back rent.”

She took the bills apprehensively. I could tell part of her didn't want to take the money, but she wasn't dumb enough to give it back. This was the only chance Mandy would get for a while to be paid in one lump sum. “Six-hundred dollars should still buy you a nice dress,” she said finally.

“I think a flat-screen TV would be nicer,” I suggested.

“Jen.” Mandy gave me a sardonic look.

“What? He didn't say I had to give the money back to him if I didn't go to the ball.”

“I know, but you can't just blow him off like that.”

“Why not? It's the answer to my prayers. Did you read the part in the note where he said he'll cease pursuing me? It's absolutely perfect. Once this stupid ball is over, I can stop holding my breath at work.”

She sighed. “I suppose you're right. Still, I think you should go.”

“Why?”

“Because it would be fun.”

“Jack Kemble's fun is going to ruin my life, and I rather like my life the way it is now, don't you?”

“It's just sex,” she muttered before walking away with the money in hand.

Just sex? Not hardly. How could I just have sex with my boss—someone who had complete control over my financial well being?

I shoved the other six-hundred dollars in my pocket and then picked up the rest of the contents from the envelope and took them to my room. My first instinct was to throw them all in the garbage and be done with it, but sentiment stopped me. It would be a nice souvenir for later, maybe something to tell my children or grandchildren about, if I ever had any. The time I rejected multibillionaire Jack Kemble.

Days and weeks passed as normal. There were no more gifts from my secret admirer. Then again, I suppose a grand was the ultimate gift in a non-reciprocating relationship. Thoughts of buying that television were still on my mind, but I hadn't done it yet. How surprised Mandy would be to come home and see it sitting in our living room. And how disappointed she would be in me for not bending to Jack Kemble's will.

There was a business trip the week before Halloween. The thought of being alone in a hotel suite with Jack made me more nervous than usual. It would be the perfect time for him to mention the gifts, and to inquire if I had any thought toward going to the Masked Ball. When he did break down and ask, “Got any plans for Halloween?” All I could think of to say was, “Going to the bar with friends. What about you?”

“I have an engagement to make,” Jack replied with no change in expression or mood. It was very cryptic, but I dare not ask anything further.

Halloween was quickly approaching, and I needed to figure out what I was going to do. Mandy had to work that night, which greatly limited my options.
