“Oh my God, what is it?” I beamed.
“I’m a completely different person at work because I have to be. Let’s just say I haven’t always been professional.”
I narrowed my eyes at him. “What does that mean?”
“I didn’t always treat my father’s clients with… the professionalism I should have. In the sense that I… Iusedto sleep with them.”
My mouth dropped, and all I could do was glare.
“What?” I gasped.
Now, he looked embarrassed. “Yeah.”
“So, wait… Did your father know?”
“He caught me. That wasn’t my finest moment at all. A lot of stuff happened along the way, but I promised him I would never do that again. I was the best person to work with you because of my expertise in PR and marketing. It was a no-brainer to send me, but only if I promised to keep my pants on.”
I laughed but stopped and sucked in a sharp breath as I remembered that ‘Will you sleep with me’ question of mine at the bar. I must have shocked him more than I’d thought. More than the average shock since it was the very thing he wasn’t supposed to do.
“Oh my gosh, this is unreal. I’ll bet you never expected the first conversation you’d have with me to be sex related.”
“Yeah, I didn’t.”
“You sound like the wild child.” I chuckled.
“Let’s just say I was a little wilder a few years back.”
I smiled at the thought of that. “A few years back? You make that sound like a lot of years. Like, how many?”
“Now we’re getting into dangerous territory.”
“Are we? How old are you?”
“Thirty-two.”
He didn’t look like thirty-two. He looked more like my age, but I liked that he was older.
“You look younger than that.”
“Thank you.”
“So, why is it dangerous territory?” I had to know. “It wasn’t a few years back, was it?” I gave him a curious look.
“No… it wasn’t.”
I laughed. “Oh my gosh. So, you are human?”
“Looks that way.”
“I want to hear more about the wild version of you. That guy sounds like fun.”
“Yeah?”
I nodded. “Oh yes.”
With a wicked glint in his eyes, he turned and started walking. I joined him, and he started talking again.
“I almost lost my father a million-dollar deal because I got wasted before the meeting and insulted our investor’s wife,” he confessed.
