I started to protest.
“Not to do anything, Amelia. Though I’m not going to lie and say I don’t find you attractive because I do, but there’s no way I would make moves on you. Not with my relationship with H. If things developed between us over time, then that’s something else, but right now, you’re my new business buddy and it won’t be the first time I’ve taken a colleague to Club S to show them the ropes.” He winked.
I could imagine it. All boys together. In their element at some bawdy sex show.
“Okay. I’m intrigued, so after dinner, I’d like to see what happens there.”

“Amelia?”
“Yes.”
“How did you know about the club, really? H didn’t tell you did he? You don’t know enough.”
“Ah, found out.”
“You don’t know enough. H would have given you extensive information as his new second-in-command. So, spill the details.”
“I read the rumors about the place on the net.”
“Fuck. I guess I’ve yet to work out your game face ‘cause I just got played.”
“Feminine wiles. If you’ve got them, why not use them?” I laughed.
“So, no talk of dinner and no talk of the club with H, or I won’t take you.” He gave me a cold, hard stare.
I started laughing again. “So that’s your attempt at a Henry Carter business face I take it?”
He laughed again, himself. “Now you see why I stick to what I know.”
“So, how about on Thursday, we meet at my office at four as planned? I’ll show you around as I’m supposed to, and then I’ll drive you back to yours to get changed.”
He catches my frown.
“H is away at a conference Thursday evening. I will wait outside for you if you’d rather.”
I make a note that I need to study Henry’s whereabouts more closely. I’m supposed to be his deputy, and although I’m training at the moment I should still know where he is.
“Then we’ll go for the Italian, and then I’ll take you to the club. So dress in something black, maybe with silver.”
“Oh, yes?”
“It’s kinda a theme. You’ll see.” He told me.
He finished the rest of his coffee and then got to his feet. “Well, I’d better go slay. Can’t be chatting all day long. That doesn’t assist with my billion dollar empire.”
I rolled my eyes.
He pointed at me. “Deletes impressed by wealth off my list. I can see I need to try harder.” He winked and walked over to me, holding out his hand. I shook it.
“You’d need to try much harder than that.” I told him. “If you were trying to impress me as a date. Which I am not. I’m a colleague.”
Aidan held a hand to his heart. “Ouch, straight to the chest. You know how to bring a guy down. You’ll do well in this post.” He smiled. “You don’t take any bullshit.”
“Can smell it a mile off.” I told him.
“Now, go make more billions and leave me to study health and safety.” I made a mock yawn.
