“Yes, of course.”

“How long will we be away?”

“A week each time.”

“Okay.” I nod.

“Will that be a problem with your boyfriend?”

“Not at all,” I lie.

“Good.” His eyes hold mine for a moment longer than they should. “Conferences are a great way to get to know one another properly. You really learn a lot about a person when they depend on you for everything.” He gives me a slow sexy smile. “I look forward to it.” He turns and walks out of the office, and I sink into the chair. “Eliza?” He pops his head back around the corner.

“Yes?”

“Come and get me any time you need me. I’m at your disposal.” He winks.

“Sure.” I force a smile. “That’s great.”

He disappears, and I exhale heavily and look around my office.

Shit…

I really need to get laid before I go on those conferences with him. I could get drunk and ask him for a labia appraisal. This could be a fucking nightmare waiting to happen. I open the calender and flick through to the conference dates that are marked in. I search through the drawer and find a lead pencil, and I scribble the words:

No drinking at conference!

At the end of the day, I walk out into reception. The girls have all left. I take out my phone and text Nathan.

Coming now

A message bounces back.

I’m downstairs.

I smile.

I push the button on the elevator. It arrives, and I step in.

“Hold the door, please,” someone calls.

I put my hand in the door to hold it, and Henry rushes in.

“Thanks.” He smiles. He’s undone his navy tie, and it is hanging loose around his crisp white shirt

“How was your first day?” he asks.

“Great.” I smile. “I had a wonderful day.”

“Wait till I get you into surgery. I can’t wait to fry your brain.”

I giggle.

“Penis enlargements are my specialty.” He holds his hands apart to signify twelve inches and I laugh out loud just as the door opens.

Henry puts his hand on my waist to lead me out, and I look up into the gaze of Nathan. He’s leaning against the wall, his hands in the pockets of his expensive charcoal suit trousers.
