I kissed him again. “Maybe.”
“Our work schedule is about to get crazier. In fact, we need to go to Seattle on Wednesday for a couple of days.”
“Okay.”
“There’s…one of the perks of your job, is an apartment in the city.”
“What?”
“One of the perks to being my assistant, is an apartment.”
“Is this another gift, because…”
He brushed the side of my arm. “No. I’m serious. It was set up way before I took the position. I think it was so the assistant would be available at a moment’s notice for the President.”
“I don’t…”
“Hear me out. If you stayed in the city, it would be a lot less stressful for you.”
“I’m not…”
“Yes, you are. I see it in your face. You’re fine the first couple of days, and as the week goes…I know the combination of the hours and the commute are getting to you.”

“He did the right thing by telling me. Why didn’t you tell me that it’s a little much for you?”
“It’s not, really. I mean, I don’t want to not see you, but on the nights we eat dinner and go back to the office, I’m…”
“That’s exactly why I want you to take the apartment. Not only will you get a little more rest, but it will allow us to see more of each other.”
“Where’s the apartment?”
“It’s a floor below mine.”
“I thought you said this wasn’t a gift?”
“It’s not.”
“What other employees live in the building?”
“Tony, Marcos, Gil and his wife, the pilots and the other flight crew, several of the vice-presidents and the corporate physician and head nurse.”
“Oh. I thought…”
“You thought what?”
“Never mind.” I smiled.
“We have an agreement. I’m not doing this so I can get you into bed.”
“I know. I just thought you were trying to give me…never mind.”
“Although, you’re staying in the apartment, you’re responsible for the monthly maintenance fee.”
