I was confused at first. I hadn’t sent anyone to come talk to him. But then, I remembered that Greyson had said he was going to meet with the man after he and I had had lunch the day before. I wasn’t sure he meant it when he said he was going to really go see him and talk to him, and I wasn’t sure he was going to make much progress with the man even if he did.
But now, I could see that he not only did come through with what he said, he was able to get this guy to see things from my point of view.
“Oh, and another thing,” Mr. Thompson said. “Just as an added apology to you for the inconvenience I have caused, I want to go to the original deal that you and I agreed to with the discounted prices, and I would like to waive the delivery fee.”
“Oh my gosh,” I said, “I don’t know what to say. That really is above and beyond what I ever could have expected working with you. Thank you.”
“I just want to make sure I get my name out there. I’m glad to know that my furniture is going to be the star of the show in this new chain, and I can’t wait to see the growth it’s going to bring into my own company in the years to come.”
“Thank you again,” I said with wide eyes. “Really. I can’t thank you enough for this.”
“I believe you are the one who ought to be thanked. You really did put in a lot of work here, and I’m looking forward to seeing the final product,” he said. “Now, if you will excuse me, I’ll talk to the men about unloading the product.”
“Thank you,” I said again, finally finding my voice. I was shocked with the change in the man since the afternoon before, and I couldn’t wait to see Greyson. The fact that he was able to make this guy do a complete turnround in just a matter of hours was unheard of, and the way I was turned on by it was unlike anything I’d ever experienced.
I knew he’d done it for me, and I was blown away with the results of what he did.
But, I had to wait until I got back to the other hotel before I would be able to talk to him about it. The fact that I was stuck at the new location and he was, well, wherever he was, drove me crazy. I wanted to throw myself into his arms and kiss him senseless for what he’d done for me.
Shit, I was already taken with his looks more than I had ever been with anyone else, and I looked forward to thanking him properly for this.
I almost blushed with the thought. It would be the first time I had ever had sex in my life, but then, I had never met anyone like Greyson before, and I felt ready. Hearing that all my friends were giving up their virginities made me realize that we were all adults now, and I was free to have sex with whoever I pleased.
And I wanted to fuck Greyson, and bad.
It seemed like the afternoon drug on for an eternity before I was able to get back to the hotel where I was staying, and I was glad to find Greyson at the bar. He had only a beer in front of him, which led me to believe he was just killing time with the TV, and I all but ambushed him when I could.
“I need to talk to you,” I said. “Right now.”
THIRTEEN
Greyson
I wasn’tsure what to expect with the way Laurel came to me at the bar.
She had been at the other hotel all day, so far as I knew, and I wondered how things were going for her over there. I hadn’t seen her since the afternoon before. I went to dinner by myself and checked for her, but she didn’t seem to come out of her room at all.
I didn’t blame her. I knew she had been stressed out about what had happened with the guy at the furniture store. So, I had taken it upon myself to go and talk to him. I wasn’t sure how it would go, but if there was one thing I knew I was good at, it was telling someone how to see things from different angles.
It was part of my job as a pilot. If there was someone in my plane who wasn’t doing so well with the flight, I was the one who talked them down into a better headspace.
It was a trick that I had learned early on in my career, and I was glad to put it to use with someone else in a different realm. I wasn’t sure how it would go over with the man when I came and acted as though I worked with the same company that Laurel did. But, I also didn’t feel that it was entirely a lie, either.
We were both being paid by the same person. So, while she was my client for this, the fact that it was her boss that was paying me really meant that I was doing the work for him, too. So, I made the most of that angle when I went to speak to the guy, and I was pleased with how it had turned out.
I could have told Laurel this, but I didn’t want to spoil the surprise for her.
She would be going to work that morning regardless, and I didn’t want her to leave with any expectations of how the day would go. Not to mention the fact that I would have to tell her I was the one who had been able to get him to change his mind, and if I did that, I didn’t want her to feel like she owed it to me to thank me or anything.
She would find out about it when she got to work, and she would do with it what she would. That might mean that she came to me and thanked me, or it might mean that she just rolled with it as though it was expected that she was able to make this all happen. I didn’t know. I just knew that I didn’t want her to feel like she was obligated to do anything toward me after she heard the news.
So, when she came up to me with that bright smile on her face and told me she was going to talk to me, I could hardly contain the smile myself.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
“What did you do?” she demanded.
“I don’t know what you mean,” I told her.
