Or is it something personal?
The ambiguity of his request sends my heart pounding like a drum against my chest.
Is he going to fire me?
Maybe he's going to kill me...
Ya... definitely going to kill me... That way Kaitlyn will never find out.
I wouldn't put it past him. He's so charming and calculated. He could get away with it.
I shake my head at the insanity of my thoughts.
"Okay... Where? When?" I try to keep it cool.
"My driver will pick you up. 8 PM." He turns and walks away, leaving me standing there with my heart in my throat.

HUNTER
Ifinish buttoning my navy suit as I wait for her to arrive.
Finally, I hear a car pull up outside and see my driver get out of the car. I walk to the door and open it in time for Maya to step out of the vehicle.
Holy shit.
She looks stunning.
She's in a red dress that hugs her curves in all the right places. Her dark hair is pulled back into a low bun, and her icy blue eyes contrast against the red, drawing me in. I can't take my eyes off of her.
She takes a deep breath and looks around. "Where are we?"
"I'm not sure you want to know." I smirk as my heart races in anticipation. With one arm, I gesture her forward, to the pathway lit by low lighting that leads up to my yacht.
"What is this?" She looks stunned.
"It's my yacht." I watch the thoughts race across her face as she takes in the sight of the boat and then turns to me. She bites back a smile.
"So, this is a business meeting?"
"No," I reply, "This is not a business meeting."
"Oh, so I was right... This is where you're going to take me out to sea and throw me overboard." She's teasing me, but I can see the apprehension in her eyes. It's cute.
I take her hands in mine and look into her eyes. "There's more of a chance of you throwing me overboard if we're being honest."
She raises her brow. "You're right." The fear in her eyes fades away.
We board the boat and I show her to the deck where I have a romantic, candle-lit dinner set up for us.
"This is beautiful, Hunter." She looks me in the eye. "What is this all for? I'm kinda freaking out."
"Freaking out? It's for you. I wanted to take you on a real date."
The waiter comes over and pulls our seats out for us and we sit as he pours us both a glass of red wine.
I hold my glass up to hers.
