<i>-Rabena’s </i>POV<i>: </i>
“Well, <i>you </i>can’t <i>go </i><i>looking </i><i>like </i><i>any </i><i>old </i><i>thing</i><i>! </i>You <i>have </i><i>to </i>wear <i>something </i><i>that </i><i>says</i>, ‘<i>yes </i><i>I’m </i>sexy <i>as </i><i>hell</i>, but I’m <i>also </i><i>a </i>boss bitch<i>!</i><i>‘ </i><i>Make </i>a <i>bold </i>statement<i>!</i><i>” </i>
I rolled my eyes as Pera continued, she was blowing this way out of proportion.
<i>“</i><i>Pera </i><i>I </i>don’t <i>think </i><i>it’s </i><i>going </i>to be <i>all </i>of <i>that</i><i>. </i>It <i>really </i><i>is </i><i>just </i>a meeting.”
<i>“</i>If you <i>say </i><i>so </i><i>but </i><i>still </i><i>look </i><i>the </i><i>part</i>. <i>You’re </i><i>the </i>President of Prd <i>Tech</i>. <i>He </i><i>should </i><i>know </i><i>he’s </i><i>speaking </i><i>with </i><i>another </i>boss<i>!</i><i>” </i>
I had to agree with Pera on that, I’d heard he could be very intimidating. I didn’t want Aaron thinking I could be intimidated. I decided to leave work a little early, I’d have to do some shopping. As I finished up buying my dress and essories for tonight’s dinner, my assistance De called me with the location details. After hearing where we would have dinner, I waspletely shocked.
<i>“</i><i>He </i>booked us at <i>the </i>Sundial<i>!</i><i>” </i>
The Sundial was one of the most exquisite restaurants in all of Covington. This seemed to be an awful lot for a business dinner!
<i>“</i><i>Yes </i>ma’am, <i>shall </i><i>I </i>apany <i>you </i>to <i>the </i>meeting<i>?</i>”
“<i>Yes</i><i>, </i><i>just </i>in <i>case </i><i>if </i><i>there </i><i>are </i><i>any </i>documents <i>that </i><i>will </i><i>need </i>to <i>be </i><i>signed </i>or <i>discussed</i>.”
The truth was I didn’t want to be by myself when I met with him. For some reason I felt like I was walking
into a lion’s den.
“<i>Very </i><i>well</i><i>, </i>I’ll <i>inform </i><i>his </i><i>assistant </i>to <i>also </i><i>add </i><i>me </i>to <i>the </i><i>reservation </i><i>list</i><i>.</i>”
“<i>Thank </i><i>you </i><i>De</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
After confirming all the details, I headed home to prepare for tonight, I wasn’t sure why, but I instantly had butterflies in my stomach. Once home, I informed every one of my dinner meetings. For some reason, neither Sean nor my uncle seemed surprised.
<i>“</i><i>So</i><i>, </i>he <i>finally </i>reached out to <i>you </i><i>huh</i>?”
Finally? What did Sean mean by that? Before I could ask, Uncle Peter chimed in.
<i>“</i><i>Well</i><i>, </i>I <i>think </i>this is good idea, <i>after </i>all, our families <i>have </i>been close <i>for </i>years, <i>Give </i>Aaron <i>our </i><i>regards</i><i>.</i>”
I nodded to Uncle Pete with a puzzled look on my face, had they known something I didn’t? Caroline helped me get dressed and do my hair and makeup<b>, </b>even I had to admit I looked damned good! As I made my way outside to my car, a limo suddenly pulled slowly to the front of the door. The chauffeur stepped
out holding a bouquet of tulips, my favorite flower. The chauffeur walked up to me with a bright smile.
<i>“</i><i>President </i>Price?”
“Yes, that’s me.”
“Then these are for you ma’am. My name is Keith, please, allow me to escort you to the limo.”
Puzzled, I nervously took the driver’s arm and made my way to the limo. Anxious, I turned back to see my family all smiling as I made my way inside the car. What were they so happy about? The car ride was silent. but nice as we made our way to the restaurant. Upon arrival, Keith opened my door and escorted me to the front of the restaurant, there, I greeted by a hostess.
“Good evening, President <i>Price </i><i>I </i><i>presume</i><i>?</i>”
“Yes, ma’am.”
<i>“</i>Excellent! <i>My </i>name <i>is </i>Jana<i>, </i><i>I’ll </i><i>be </i><i>your hostess </i>for <i>this </i>evening. <i>Please</i>, <i>allow </i>me to <i>take </i><i>you </i><i>to </i><i>your </i><i>section</i><i>.</i>”
I followed Jana through the restaurant, as I approached the private section it dawned on me that no one else was here. Where were all the customers? Puzzled, I called to Jana.
“<i>Um</i><i>, </i><i>Ms. </i>Jana<i>, </i><i>is </i><i>the </i>Sundial <i>usually </i>closed on <i>Thursdays</i>?”
Jana turned to me with a bright smile on her face.
<i>“</i><i>Oh </i>no, <i>in </i><i>fact </i>it’s one of <i>our </i><i>busier </i><i>nights</i><i>, </i><i>Mr. </i><i>Michaels </i><i>brought </i>out <i>the </i><i>restaurant </i><i>for </i><i>the </i><i>evening</i>.”
WHHHAAATTT!!!!!!!!!
As we made our way to the table I began to look around for De, I’d told her to arrive first <b>so </b>that way if I were a littlete I would have to wait for her. As I scanned the section my eyes finally met with Aaron’s. I could feel my breath instantly cut; he was gorgeous. As he stood, I could tell he was every bit of 6’4 in height. The suit he wore was clearly tailored made. A navy–blue pinstripe double breasted, with a cream- colored silk button shirt and navy tie. Embodying every bit of the term “talk dark and handsome“, he simply perfect. He walked directly up to me and could feel the heat rising to my ears. Taking my hand into his, he nted a gentle kiss on the back of my palm.
“It’s a pleasure to see <i>you </i>again <i>Ms. </i><i>Price</i><i>.</i>”
Blushing, I tried hard not to stutter over my words.
<i>“</i>You as well <i>Mr. </i><i>Michaels</i>.<i>” </i>
