Chapter Twenty-Four

Drew

Before leaving the office for the night, I pulled out my phone and called Jillian.

“Hello,” she answered.

A wide smile crossed my face when I heard her sweet voice.

“Hi.”

“Hi.”

“I was calling to see if you had any plans for tonight.”

“I don’t. What did you have in mind?” she asked.

“Jane is cooking a fabulous meal, and I was wondering if you’d like to have dinner at my place.”

“I would love to have dinner at your house.”

“I can pick you up.”

“I have a couple of things to do first after I leave Kristen’s. Give me your address and tell me a time.”

“Well, it’s five o’clock now. Is seven good for you?”

“Seven is good.”

“Great. The address is 132 East 71st Street. I’ll see you in a couple of hours.”

“See you then. Bye, Drew.”

“Bye, Jillian.”

YES! I silently shouted to myself and walked out of my office.

“I’m going home for the night, Lia. I suggest you do the same.” I smiled.

“I have to finish these contracts first, and then I’ll leave.”

“No need. You can finish them in the morning. Go enjoy your evening.”

Her eye narrowed at me, and a small smile crossed her lips.

“You’re in an exceptional mood.”

“I am. Aren’t I?” I smirked. “Remember that woman I met in Hawaii? The one I had you check on?”

“Yes. I remember. Jillian, wasn’t it?”

“Yes. She’s here in New York. We ran into each other yesterday and spent some time together. Now she’s having dinner with me tonight at my house.”

“Aw, Drew, I’m so happy for you.”

“Thanks, Lia. Have a good night.” I strolled down the hallway and out of the building.
