Ian chuckles. “Why wouldn’t I?”
“I have to say, I am mildly impressed with the way you sold it. How you hid so well behind the mask of integrity. It was really top-notch.”
“It’s no mask.”
“No?”
“I truly believe this company deserves better.”
“I’m sure you do.” I smile as the elevator arrives and the doors slide open. “Then, you wouldn’t mind coming upstairs with me now and we can tell the board together all about your little parties back home in Chicago.”
I step into the elevator.
Ian doesn’t move. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he says.
I tap 2 on the wall. “Tell me, do you provide the blindfolds yourself or do the girls have to bring their own?”
Ian juts his arm forward, forcefully stopping the doors from closing. “Who told you about that?” he asks, his eyes narrow.
I smirk. “A friend of a friend nudged me in the right direction.”
“Fine,” he says, still holding the doors. “Be a vague bitch. Won’t matter. You have no proof of anything.”
“I don’t need proof,” I say. “All I need is a candid photo of you standing next to some barely legal girls in cages with your Chicago mob buddies. Then, I just have to put together a half-assed Powerpoint presentation, add in a dash of charisma mimicked from a bad TED talk, and throw around words like immoral and obscene. Add on a few well-documented instances of missing money at your location and... I can probably convince just about anyone how much of a sleaze-ball you really are.”
He softens his glare. “Okay, look...” he says, clearing his throat. “Maybe we can work something out here.”
“Go home quietly and I won’t disrupt whatever disgusting operation you’re running out of your hotel,” I say. “I’m sure your friends known for breaking people’s legs when they don’t pay their debts will prefer that, too.”
Ian shifts out of the way as a trio of suits board the elevator. “You wouldn’t dare,” he hisses, his teeth bared.
“Hm. I don’t know.” I smirk. “I think I would.”
He steps back, his dark eyes locked on me until the last possible moment before the doors close.
I exhale with satisfaction as the car rises to the 2nd floor.
Okay, that was more fun than I thought it’d be.
I step off the elevator with a smile and walk down the hall toward room 201. With a quick swipe of the keycard, I step inside and toss the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the outer knob.
Penis.
Penis penis penis.
Oliver stands by the bed, naked and wet from head-to-toe. He looks at me and grins, his damp hair clinging to his forehead.
“Good morning,” he says.
“Good morning,” I say.
“You have impeccable timing.”
“One of my many...” I happily look down, “talents.”
He chuckles as he walks into the bathroom. After a moment, he returns with a towel draped across his waist. “To be honest, I expected you days ago,” he says.
“I’ve been busy,” I say.
