“You’re more familiar with the bigger dicks? I would never have guessed that about you. But rest assured, Mr. Harris, my firm can help.”
Knowing I was turning bright red, I subtly brushed the front of my pants wondering how much was showing. But hearing someone clear their throat, we both looked up. Seeing who stood in front of us, I froze in panic.
Chapter 6
Remy
Seeing Eris Clément in the waiting area of my office ripped me out of the fantasy that I had briefly allowed myself and threw me back into reality. Armand’s pampered princess sat posed on my Le Corbusier chaise with her perfectly sculpted blonde curls and icy blue eyes that made clear her disdain for anything that got in her way.
Instinctually, I turned to Dillon beside me. He was visibly unnerved. I hated how she affected him.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, annoyed.
Eris offered a coy smile. “Can’t a girl just visit her soon-to-be husband at work?” she asked making the hairs on my arm stand on end. As I gritted my teeth she added, “I brought you an engagement gift, Silly.”
“What?” I asked, thrown off by her gesture. What was she doing?
“Things between us may not have started the way either of us would’ve chosen, but we can still make the best of it, can’t we?” She gestured toward a small box on the table. “Open it.”
I hesitated again looking for Dillon’s reaction. He was as confused as I was. Turning back to the pale blue box with the white ribbon, I picked it up and stared at it.”
“It’s not a bomb, Remy. I’m sitting here with you,” she said sarcastically.
Wanting to get this exchange over with, I pulled back the ribbon and lifted the lid. Inside was a watch that took my breath away.
“How did you know I collect watches?” I stammered, looking up at Eris.
“Remy, you’re a man of class and taste. Of course, you’d collect watches,” she replied with a pleased smile.
Dillon stepped closer, curiosity getting the better of him. “What is it?”
“It’s a Richard Mille RM 56-02 Tourbillon Sapphire. It’s a very rare watch,” I said trying to remember the last time I saw one in person.
Dillon leaned over for a closer look. “You can see straight through it. It’s like the parts holding the hands are floating between glass. It’s amazing,” he admitted.
I looked at him, then back at Eris. “It’s two million dollars amazing,” I said, struggling to find the right words. “I can’t accept this. It’s too much.”
Eris folded her arms. “I’ll be your wife, Remy. Nothing is too much for my future husband.”
Seeing Dillon’s shaken expression, I got ahold of myself. “Yeah, I’ve been trying to find one of these,” I said casually.
Eris’ eyes gleamed as she asked, “Can I put it on you?”
Fighting the urge to refuse her, I relented as she slid the watch onto my wrist. Still overwhelmed by what I was looking at, I said, “Eris, I don’t know how to thank you.”
“I do,” She replied with a sinister smile. “Never take it off.”
Jokingly, I responded, “I’m not sure I would want to.”
“And fire him,” Eris continued, nodding toward Dillon.
“What?” I asked, again caught off guard by her.
“I think you heard me,” she said smugly.
“I can’t do that,” I declared, darting my eyes over to Dillon, who looked shell-shocked.
Eris scoffed. “Why not? Secretaries are a dime a dozen, aren’t they? And it’s such an easy way to make your future wife happy.”
