I knew his counter would be that I worked for his company, so every penny I had was because of him.
I couldn’t argue with that, so I kept my mouth closed.
“It was good to catch up with you, Amy. We should do this again. You should try to make it a point to see your father more,” he said.
His phone dinged, and he looked at that, then looked at me.
“Can you find your way back? I have something I need to take care of.”
“Sure. But I need to get—”
He cut me off. “I’ll have Todd bring your things.”
“Yes, sir. Have a nice evening,” I said timidly.
“You too,” my father said, though he wasn’t even looking at me.
He left, and a minute later, Todd reappeared with my briefcase and lunch bag. My purse was at my side.
“You sure you can get home, Amy?”
“Yeah. It’s no problem,” I said, smiling.
“Well, have a good night. I should go. Don’t want to keep him waiting,” Todd said.
I smiled and then started to gather my things.

I looked down, taking in his dark slacks, my gaze centering on his crotch before I forced myself to look up.
“Guess not,” I said, my voice squeaking, though I tried to ignore it.
“So, I should go somewhere else?” he said.
“Um…what?” I asked, distracted by how handsome he was and embarrassed by my reaction to him.
He chuckled, the low sound in his throat, the way his lips curved up making my sex clench.
“For dinner? Should I go somewhere else?” he asked as he approached and sat in the seat my father had just vacated.
“N-no,” I said, shifting, then wiping my hands down my pants, trying to calm myself. “The food is great.”
