“Clearly. Maybe that’s why you’re falling for her. Because she’s the complete opposite of who our parents expect you to wind up with.”
“Maybe.”
“I knew it! You are falling for her.”
“I didn’t say that…”
“You kind of did. How much access do you think she has to files at Kruger?”
“I’m assuming she has clearance for everything.”
“So, there’s your answer.”
“What?”
“You’re not going to want to take your clients with you from Blue Media. They’re a huge conglomerate. Burning your bridges with them wouldn’t be helping you. But taking Kruger’s clients? That’s a different story.”
“You want me to use Bee to get access to Kruger Advertising’s client list?”
He shrugged. “You said you didn’t love her. So I don’t really see what the problem is.”
I looked down at the dress I was holding. Matt was right. I was already getting Bee to trust me. It would be easy to convince her to get me access to the documents. Or at least I could steal the information from her computer without her knowing. If I had a list of clients, I’d be able to get a loan even without my dad cosigning. I might not even need a loan if I could get one of Kruger’s large accounts to sign with me right away. I shook my head. That seemed dirty. Even for me.
“Unless you do love her…”
“No. I don’t even like her.” But I did. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. That’s why I was at the store buying her a dress.
“If you say so.”
“And that’s actually a really good idea. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of it.” Because I was distracted. Bee had thrown me off my game. And I didn’t want to risk losing her over something stupid like that. Matt had no idea how to start a business. His advice wasn’t exactly something I was looking for.
“You were blinded by love.”
“Stop saying stupid shit.”
“When do I get to meet her? I haven’t met any of your girlfriends since you were still living at home. Have you even had a girlfriend since high school?”
“No. And you don’t get to meet her. Because she’s not my girlfriend.”
“You do realize that I have tickets to the gala on Saturday, right?”
I cleared my throat. “That’s not where we’re going.”
“Isn’t it, though? Every important person in the city is going. Which includes me. And you. And apparently a lowly secretary from Kruger Advertising with a pretty face. It’s a genius move actually. Showing her the riches and glam and then wooing her into bed with you. Well played.”
Shit. I did not want him to talk to Bee. He’d ruin all my plans. I didn’t want it to be just a one night. I wanted to be able to have her whenever I felt like it. “We’re actually going to that winter festival thing.”
“I’ve never heard of it. Which means you probably made it up. So I guess I’ll see you at the gala. Can we please go get something to eat now? I’m starving.”
Damn it.
Chapter Thirty-Four
Bee
“Do you have plans with your new boyfriend tonight?” Kendra asked. She already had her jacket on and was most likely heading to a new club or bar since it was Friday. I couldn’t think of one Friday night she had stayed in since I met her.
“He’s not my boyfriend. And no, we don’t have plans.” I actually hadn’t heard from Mason since he had stopped by with lunch on Wednesday.
