“What, marry her so I can become CEO? No.”
“Why not?”
“A better job shouldn’t be the reason to get married.”
“It shouldn’t?”
“No. And for the record, I’m still trying to convince my grandfather to change his mind.”
“And if you don’t?”
“In case you forgot, I have a company of my own to run.”
“I’m very well aware of that. However…”
“I know what my grandfather wants But I’m not going to let him push me into something.”
“Uh-huh.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing.” He sipped his drink.
“I know you. That meant something.”
“Okay, let’s see. You took Gabriella on a business trip to one of the most romantic cities in the world, and put her up in your apartment.”
“That doesn’t…”
He held up his finger. “You could have put her in the guest apartment downstairs or a hotel, but you didn’t. You let her stay in your home. Something you’ve never done before. You took her on a shopping spree... introduced her to your aunt....”
“Her meeting Aunt Hilarie was a coincidence.”
“Okay, I’ll give you that one. Oh, let’s not forget you told Cameron to personally handle her at Brockman’s and to use your discount.”
“That…”
“You and I both know the only people that use your discount are family. Oh yeah, and my favorite confirming fact of all…”
“What?”
“You became celibate. Gave up all booty.”
“Are you finished?”
“One last thing.”
“What?”
“When are you going to admit you’re in love with her?” I exhaled, opened my desk drawer, pulled out the small black box and placed it on the desk. “What’s that?”
“The answer to your question. Open it.”
He picked up the small black box and opened the lid. “Damn. I guess it’s safe to say you’re in love with her or, that’s one hell of a promise ring.” He closed the box and pushed it back to me. “When did you get that?”
“Paris.”
“That was only a few weeks after you guys agreed to do whatever it is you’re doing. Wait a minute… what else happened in Paris?”
