“Hey, Ivy. Earth to Ivy.” I grasp her arm to get her attention. “You’re off in La-La Land again, aren’t you? We need to get moving if you want to make your appointment with my dad.”
Not that we really have an appointment, but baby steps are the best with Ivy. If I lead right into the job offer of her being Ford Harmon’s personal makeup artist, she might have a brain aneurysm.
She still hasn’t moved from her spot in the walkway. “You’ll never guess who I just saw in the elevator. Wait, of course you would. Your dad owns this place. Ford Harmon! Andi, I was in the elevator with Ford fucking Harmon.”
“Yeah, about that…” I spy a secluded room, pull her inside, and flip on the light. I guess it’s time to just rip off the Band-Aid. “He’s shooting a movie up here.”
“Oh, my God!” She covers her mouth, letting out a little squeak.
“My dad and the movie’s director, Nolan Archer, are old friends. I got you a job on set as a makeup artist.”
“Are you kidding me? No, Andi. I couldn’t ask you to do that.”
“You didn’t ask. The opportunity presented itself, and I took it for you.” This girl has lost her mind if she thought I wouldn’t have made sure she had this opportunity.
It takes a moment before she’s screeching her thanks and hugging me for dear life. She peppers me with questions about the position, but I decide it’s better for her to get all her answers from Nolan himself.
“Come on. I’ll take you up to meet Nolan. He’s having dinner in the restaurant and can fill you in on all the details.”
Ivy and I head right for the restaurant. My dad said that they wouldn’t be there until six, but I’m hoping since Ivy said she was in the elevator with Ford, we might catch them.
As we step up to the entrance of the restaurant, I scan the area for Nolan. The place isn’t large; I locate him in the back with Ford Harmon, before flashing him a tentative smile which isn’t met with the same happy response.
If looks could kill, I would be dead. I have no idea what he could be so angry about. I mean, we had sex, but it’s not like I told anyone. But as I watch Nolan approach, it’s not anger I see in his eyes, but desire.
I can’t stop the smile that spreads across my face. “See how much longer you can resist me now. I’m all grown up.”
