After Sunday, he got a call on the way back to Abigail’s apartment, where he intended to kiss every inch of her body.He was needed at one of the other companies.At first, he thought it was just going to be a quick job, and he told Abigail to stay so she could be at the office on Monday.By Tuesday, he was in England and had no choice but to have Abigail flown to him.
The last few days had been nonstop work.There was an advertising rival intent on stealing one of their biggest accounts.Ironically, it was the same account Abigail had gotten nine years ago.It was for a large cosmetics firm, and they didn’t like the latest pitch for a collection of their products and wanted to pull the plug on the contract.
Another advertising company had pitched a deal, and he’d given Abigail the details.He didn’t intend for Abigail to take over the meeting.His current advertising manager had put a young twenty-something year old, straight out of college, who loved makeup and knew she could make this work.
This had become a disaster.
Thankfully, although Abigail was his PA and no longer worked in advertising, it would seem she was still on first name terms with Cameron Pierce, who was not happy with the pitch.With just a few hours’ notice, Abigail had walked into the meeting, greeted Cameron personally, much to his advertising manager and clearly his little bedmate’s chagrin.
After an intense hour, he saw Cameron felt heard and started to open up to Abigail’s ideas.
Roman watched her.She was a force to be reckoned with.Partway through the meeting, he had sent his manager and the assistant out.He was going to have to deal with that problem.
After an entire evening of fleshing out the details, putting finishing touches to the contract, Abigail put an arm on Cameron.
“I have told you before, when you were nervous about me leaving this job, if you ever have any doubts, I’ll take care of it,” Abigail said.
“You’re a darling, Abi.”Cameron put his hand on top of hers, then looked toward Roman.“This woman is a starlet.You should make sure no one attempts to poach her away.”
“My Abi cannot be bought,” he said.“Her loyalty is mine.”
Abigail smiled.
“Make sure he pays you double, and don’t forget to take in the sights.It’s England, so trust me, bask in the sunshine while you can.It’ll be colder than the fucking North Pole before we know it.”
Cameron kissed her cheek, then left the room.
One by one, people left and Abigail filed the paperwork, then handed it straight to him.
“You’re welcome,” she said.
“You didn’t even give me a chance to say thank you.”
“Cameron is one of your biggest clients.Losing him would cause no end of backlash.You know it, I know it, we all know it.”
He laughed.“You could pretend to have some confidence in me.”
She grabbed the remote and played the childish, amateur advertisement.“This is a company that has dedicated its line to mature women, yet I don’t see a single woman over the age of twenty-one here.”
Roman winced.
“Trust me, once you break Cameron’s trust, it is hard to win him over.You’re lucky he agreed to stay.”
He was getting rock hard watching her.“What do you mean?”
“Cameron texted me.Told me this was a disaster before I had even gotten on the plane.I told him to give me time to get here.It’s why you got the extension.I have not slept in twenty-four hours.”She did look tired.
He got to his feet and cupped her face.“You look terrible.”
She chuckled.“Thanks.”She pulled away, and he knew he had crossed that line at work.
Abigail had given them enough space, as the door opened and there was his advertising manager, his England-based one, Edward.
“We’ll talk later,” he said, looking toward Abigail.
She already had the details of the hotel where they would be staying.Abigail nodded her head.She didn’t say another word, but Edward came into the office and apologized profusely.
Roman was not interested in hearing the bullshit coming out of his mouth.For one, he had clearly given an unqualified woman a job, and one of the biggest accounts that she nearly lost.They were clearly having sex, not that he could judge, seeing as his woman was going to be waiting for him back at the hotel.
