“I forgot about that.” I glance down at the charms and then back up to swim in his blue eyes. “I’m actually an electrochemist. I used to work for Nicholas, researching nuclear fusion, but I don’t anymore.”
“Nuclear fusion?” His brows raise. “I don’t even know what that means.”
“It sounds fancier than it is.” The plane grows louder as it speeds down the runway until it finally lifts in the air.
“If you don’t work for Nicholas anymore, what’s next?”
My eyes drop, and I fidget with the excess seatbelt strap in my lap. “I’m not sure. My career is kind of in limbo right now while I finish up my current project.” I glance up, forcing my personal embarrassment away with a smile. “But that’s enough about me. What do you do?”
“What do you think I do?”
I frown. “Are you really going to make me guess?”
“It’ll be fun.” His eyes dance with amusement, making it impossible for me to say no.
I sigh, glancing over his fancy suit. He’s definitely not a chemist.
“You’re a lawyer,” I say.
“Are you saying I’m argumentative?”
“Are you arguing with me right now?” He rolls his lips shut, causing me to laugh. “Okay, you’re a financial advisor.”
“Sounds boring.”
“A pediatric surgeon?”
“I’d have to like children for that kind of job.”
My shoulders drop. “You don’t like children?”
My entire future just went up in flames.
“I’m joking. Of course, I like kids. But I’m not a pediatric surgeon.”
Oh, phew! The wedding’s still on.
“You own your own real estate business?”
“Nope.”
“You’re an international spy.”
Park freezes for a second, then busts up laughing. “That’s a good one.”
“I know.” I smirk. “I totally guessed it, right?”
“I hate to disappoint you, but I’m a business consultant.”
“Pfft! That sounds more made up than you being a spy.”
He laughs, raising his brows in surprise. “Is that so?”
“Yeah. I don’t know whatbusiness consultantmeans.” I use my fingers to make air quotes around the job title.
“I advise companies and streamline procedures and operations to make businesses run more smoothly.”
“That sounds like a description you ripped off of Google.”
