is midas interested in

eliza’s designs, or does he

have designs on eliza?

WHEN THE SHOOT WAS OVER AND JACQUI HAD finished preening for the real paparazzi, Eliza tried not to feel too piqued that none of the photographers had bothered to take her picture. After all, wasn’t she someone too? Not too long ago, Eliza Thompson had ruled the glam-girl private school crowd, her photograph appearing everywhere from the Times social diary to Town & Country and Vanity Fair. But her high school days were over, and already a new crop of hot young heiresses ruled the society pages. The new girls even had websites and rankings and online fan clubs.

Midas saw the slightly distressed look on her face as he stowed away his gear. “You know the press—they’re rabid for a new face. It’s much better to stay in the background without all the fuss, don’t you think? Funny how so much is made of the models when they’d be nothing without the designers.”

“You’re right.” Eliza nodded, jollied out of her temporary irritation and silly jealousy. After all, Jacqui was promoting her line. She’d just been sort of touchy recently because all anyone seemed to be interested in when it came to Eliza Thompson was her “engagement” to the “Greyson heir.” The papers had been having a field day with the story. Not that she could complain—she’d started it. And at least the publicity had been paying off, since sales in her boutique were through the roof in just its first week. She smiled shyly at Midas, glad to have such a gentleman at her side.

“Let’s leave them to it, shall we?” He handed his camera and tripod to an assistant and escorted her into the party. The two of them giggled at the outlandish extravagance. “I didn’t realize Morocco was one of the fifty states,” Midas quipped. “But perhaps I need to catch up on my American history.”

Eliza laughed. “Nope, you’re just in the Hamptons—aka an alternate universe.” She was used to the quirks of the Hamptons high life. She’d once attended a black-tie square dance: the richest people in America line dancing among bales of hay, for the bargain price of five thousand dollars a plate.

While Marcus and Jacqui had been seated at a grand table at the center of the action, she and Midas opted for a booth in a quiet corner, sinking back into the plump cushions. Midas ordered a bottle of champagne from a passing waitress and they watched as a gyrating belly dancer approached their table, her finger cymbals clanking.

Eliza felt slightly awkward at the sight of the woman’s undulating stomach, but Midas looked completely at ease, clapping to the beat and smiling. At the end of the performance, he discreetly tucked a ten-dollar bill into the top of her skirt as the dancer indicated.

“Thank you, sir,” the dancer said, before bowing and leaving them to dance for another table.

“Very welcome,” he replied. He noticed Eliza staring and explained. “Audience participation is a big part of belly dancing.
