“Yes, he does. I would say you could call and ask him yourself, but with the time difference, you’d be waking him. I guess you’re going to take my word for it,” I smiled.
“You don’t sign my paycheck,” she reminded me.
“No, but if Finn didn’t tell me about the meeting, how else do you think I’d know?” I questioned.
“Good point,” she replied.
“Since that is settled, why don’t you spend the day with me and let me explain why I left?” She stared at me in silence for what seemed like an eternity, when in fact it was only a few seconds.
“Please, Kyleigh,” I said. I wasn’t too proud to beg. I had promised myself that I would do whatever it took to get her to forgive me.
“Fine.” She sat down and said, “I’m listening.”
“Not here.”
“Then where?” she asked.
“Come with me and I’ll show you,” I said, extending my hand to her.
She placed her tiny hand in mine “I hope I don’t regret this.”
You won’t.
When we got to the door she said, “I should let Morgan know I’m leaving.”
“She already knows,” I said.
“You mean they were in on this?” she asked. I nodded. “Who else?”
I ushered her out the door toward the limo. “My brother of course.”
“Reesa?”
I shook my head. “No.”
“Why not?” she asked.
“Because if anyone was going to spoil what I had planned by telling you, it was her. Finn told me that you two have connected. That’s good. I think she needs a friend.”
“Me? Why would the president need me?” she asked as we got into the limo, and I closed the door.
“I would guess because she spends her days listening to other people’s problems and only has my brother to listen to hers,” I said.
She smiled. “I didn’t know that you were so in tune with what a woman needs.”
“I had someone…guide me.”
“Your brother?” she asked.
I shook my head. “My bartender.”
Kyleigh’s eyes widened, then she burst out laughing. “If that is what bartenders do, maybe we need to open some bars in Tabiq.”
“I’m not sure O’Malley would be considered your standard bartender, but he gave me damn good advice.”
“Are you going to tell me what he said?” she asked.
I shook my head. “Not today.”
