Chapter One
The journey home had been a litany of flight delays due to weather and then racing through airports so she didn’t miss her connections. A gust of wind burst past Emily’s trench coat as she got out of the taxi at the office, sending the sides flapping. Cold rain spattered her dress, stockings, and inside the sensible flats she wore when travelling. Emily was just glad she’d pinned up her unruly hair.
Thanks Tony,
she said to the building doorman as he took her luggage and computer case from the taxi driver. She handed the taxi driver his fare.
With a slight lift of his eyebrows at the size of the tip, the driver returned her smile and gave her a quick salute. She smiled back wearily.
Emily had worked a lot of jobs through college before landing an internship and now this job. She knew what it was like to rely on tips, so she always gave that little bit more.
How did your trip go?
Tony asked, as she took over her computer case and held the door for her.
Pretty good, I landed a new client,
she said with satisfaction
Then she saw that a limo had pulled up in the place of her taxi.
She knew who the passenger of the limo probably was; Robert Halloran, the venture capitalist who had the penthouse offices. Not only was he model-gorgeous – he was handsome enough with his strong features and brilliant blue eyes to grace the covers of a few fashion magazines – but despite his reputation as a tough negotiator, he was also genuinely nice. Then again, she didn’t have to face him across a conference room table.
The first time she’d said hello to him in the elevator she hadn’t known who he was, but he’d been more than polite saying hello back. Since then they’d chatted a few times in the elevator and at charity functions they’d both attended. He always talked to her as an equal, never treating her as inferior, but then he’d come up the hard way, too. Knowing he was so far out of her league – rich as well as handsome – made it a lot easier to talk to him in return without getting rattled.
With a tip of the head at the limo, Emily said, You’d better go get that, Tony.
Yeah, you have a good day, Emily.
What’s left of it,
she said, and then grinned as she added, but I’ll try. We’ll just see if the rest of the world cooperates.
It’s nice to be back home, she thought as she walked into the building.
The elevators in the old, renovated building weren’t the quickest, but they gave her a little time to
