That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though. When I am at work, that’s it. I’m focused. Nothing can distract me. No one will ruin this for me. I’m stronger than that. I’ve proven it. Time and time again. It’s harder for women to succeed in business, and I’m not about to jeopardize this chance for anything or anyone. If I were Maria I'd sue every single person who lead to her being arrested. And I'd start from Griffin, his company and then the "vogue" team. Emily nods at Maria and then turns to me, placing one hand gently against my chest as she reaches up and kisses me on the cheek. While I get they had issues they just got away with deliberately nearly killing someone when they shouldn’t have. Oh, grand, grand. Can’t complain. I meet the most interesting people doing this job, as you well know. I remember the day your dad brought you boys here when they were filming that movie. We had Tom Cruise abseiling down the east wing wall. Drew quite a crowd. He does all his own stunts, you know?”
Suze drops her voice. “I did indeed. I suspected Curt had been having extra company, shall we say, after I had to go to the doctor for something that turned out to be a sexually transmitted infection.”Someone please explain, because after the week I’ve had, I’m starting to think I moved to the twilight zone, not Manhattan.” It was brilliant, thank you. Although the sound proofing between apartments could do with updating.” I raise my eyes to his.
That won’t be necessary, thank you. Hold them from the time we previously agreed,” I tell Harley, turning to look out the window at Central Park as she leaves. The picture of a plane shake; s on its hook. Each vibration from the wall sends another ripple through its frame. Moving across the country for a brand new job at one of the city's top luxury hotels is the challenge that Maria Taylor has been waiting for all her life. Elevating a renowned hotel spa? Easy peasy. Working for a seemingly cold and overly focused boss? No problem. Stop being attracted to said boss? It is not as easy as Maria thought. Yeah. That would not go down well.” Harley snorts. “He’s a control freak, as you’ll no doubt find out, Maria. If it’s not perfect, then he demands to know why.”A flash of white draws my attention to the side, as something wet lands on my shoulder, splashing the side of my face. She turns and busies herself with some more papers in her bag. If I weren’t so drawn to looking at her whenever I’m near her, then I wouldn’t notice the subtle tensing in her shoulders. I reach out and take his hand, staring into his eyes. He finally smiles at me, but it seems to take a great effort to do so. I’d even go as far to say he looks pissed. Of course not.” I smile in the way I’ve been told makes me look charming, but Maria has already turned away.
I stride down the hallway and punch open the staircase door, not wanting to wait with her for the elevator. What does she think she’s playing at? Suggesting I would be in a relationship with Emily and then do whatever God-forsaken kinky shit she’s heard Reed getting up to next door? She must think so little of me from her short time here, if that’s the kind of man she’s decided I am.And as I close my eyes, the gentle chords of his guitar carry through the phone’s speaker, followed by his deep voice singing a song that I’ve heard on the radio, Jason Mraz’s “I won’t give up.” That’s one word for it.” I can’t help my wide ear-to-ear grin that’s been there ever since we went into the spa. It’s like no place on earth. One foot in through its large, ornate doors, and you are stepping into heaven, or the Garden of Eden. You’re surrounded by lush, green plants, the sound of running water, and incredible giant columns made of Jerusalem limestone flown in from Israel. I saw pictures of it before moving to New York, but they did not do it justice. You know. It’s up to you what you do in your own time. I just wish I didn’t have to hear it through the wall.” My voice rises. “It’s like living next door to a zoo of horny baboons! Some of us like our sleep. Maybe you could visit your friends at their place once in a while? Or practice the art of mime? You know, put someone else first, be considerate?” This was a powerful story of faith, trust and love that impressed me. I laughed and cried and raged as I followed the stages of the bond that Maria and Griffin forged. This was the best book in the Men series so far. A truly moving HEA not to be missed. This book now holds a very special place in my heart.
Great Deal
