My phone rang, nearly launching me out of nized it immediately

I took a deep breath and answered cheerfully "Hi, Isaac" I was grateful to have any distraction right now

"What are you doing for dinner tonight?" he asked

I hesitated "I’ into Boston this afternoon I figured we could touch base while I’ on hienuinely believable excuse For all he knew, so had come up with the business that took

"Great, can you meet me at the Park Plaza, around six?"

"Perfect, I’ll see you then"

I hung up Any excite up with Isaac was easily da a quiet dinner with Blake at his place Ihopelessly in love with Blake So what? I was going to stop beating myself over every step that tookhopelessly in love, at least I could do it wholeheartedly and without regrets in the process

I glanced at the clock, debating for only a second before sending Blake a text

E: Can I visit you at the office?

B: Please do

I changed into a beige pencil skirt and white button up blouse and straightenedit smooth and sleek I checked myself in the h for dinner with Isaac and sexy enough to give Blake soone

Blake wasn’t in the bullpen when I arrived No one seemed to notice me, so I walked back to his office He was camped in front of his triplestock feeds and news channels on the other side of the roo why his no electronics at home rule was in place

I shut the door behind me

He swiveled in his chair "And to what do I owe this occasion?" He leaned back with a wicked grin on his face

"I have a dinner ht" I walked over to the opposite desk where he was forced to ith lowly paper and pens and propped myself up on it "So I wanted to co with?"

"Perry"

He scowled "That fucking guy is relentless"

"Do you know him?"

"Not well, but he’s obviously attracted to you"

I laughed at his blatant assuht not be totally off, he had no way of knowing that "Do you kno crazy you sound right now?"

He ignoredhimself closer to me "Why don’t you let me come with you? I can be your business partner"

My sood idea, Blake"
