“It sounds like you had a nice and relaxing evening.” His lips gave way to a sexy smile.
“It definitely was.” I bit down on my bottom lip as I looked out the window.
Sitting at my desk, I decided to take a small break from working and check my podcast stats. My eyes literally popped out of my head when I saw I’d already had over six hundred downloads and loads of comments in less than twenty-four hours. Listeners seemed to love what I had to say, and they wanted more.
It was time to head out for my doctor’s appointment, so I grabbed my purse and left. As I sat in the waiting room, I looked around at the four other women sitting there with their partners, and that feeling began to creep up inside me again.

“Mr. Thorne, your father is on line one for you,” my secretary spoke through the intercom.
Rolling my eyes, I thanked her and picked up the phone.
“Dad, how are you?”
“I’m well, son. I wanted to let you know I’m flying back to New York in a couple of days, and I’ve decided to stay.”
A knot formed in the pit of my stomach.
“For how long?”
“I’m not sure yet.”
“What about the Paris offices?”
“I put Jarod in charge. He’s more than capable of keeping things in order here while I’m gone.”
“Is there a reason why you’re coming back?”
“Do I need a reason to return to my goddamn company?” he snapped.
“No. You don’t. I was just wondering?—”
“You can stop wondering. I’ll see you in a couple of days.” He ended the call.
Just what I fucking needed.
“Laurel, tell Jenna I need to see her.”
“Of course, Mr. Thorne.
A few moments later, Laurel came over the intercom.
“She’s not in her office, and I can’t seem to find her.”
“All right. Thank you.”
Picking up my cell phone, I sent her a text message.
“Where are you?”
“At my doctor’s appointment.”
“Sorry. I forgot. Dinner tonight?”
“I can’t. I have plans.”
