Chapter 10: Rich.

"You look hot." Naya says as I pass her desk, walking into my office.

"Please, don't ride my dick this morning." I tell her, rolling my eyes.

"I'm serious." She says, laughing. "I'm glad to have you back." She says, smiling at me.

I took a one month break from work to be emotionally and physically ready to work again.

"Well, I'm glad to be back." I tell her.

"That's great to hear. Mr. Wang is your ten o'clock, you have a meeting with Steven and Son's at twelve and you will be attending a charity event this evening at the plaza." She says, reading my itinerary for the day from her black binder.

"It's going to be a busy day." I tell her, sitting on my chair. "Make me a coffee, would you?" I tell her.

"Coming right up." She says, before she leaves my office.

"I think you look fine." Aaron says, smiling at me.

"You're just saying that." I tell him.

Aaron decided to treat me to lunch after our meeting. We are currently at a restaurant five minutes away from my office.

"No, I'm not. I don't need to flatter you, it's the honest truth. You're beautiful." He comments, staring into my eyes.

"Thank you." I reply, taking the compliment.

"So, anything new?" He asks, cutting the potatoes on his plate.

"Um, not really. I'm taking a vacation in three months, though. Really looking forward to it." I tell him.

"Oh really? Where are you going?" He asks me.

"Singapore." I reply.

"Wow, I am jealous." He says and I chuckle.

"Why wouldn't you be? You work so hard, you never have time for vacations." I tell him.

"You're right about that. I can't remember the last time I went on a vacation." He says, laughing.

"Exactly." I say, laughing with him. "Maybe you should come with me?" I ask him.

"No, I wouldn't want to impose." He says waving his hands.

"Impose? I'm going on a vacation alone, so if anything you're going to keep me company." I tell him.

"Okay, fine. I'll come along." He agrees and I clap my hands.

"Yay, we're going to have so much fun." I tell him.

He just smiles at me as he continues eating his steak.

"I've been seeing pictures of you and this dude. The one that plays football. You know the tall one." He says as I wipe my mouth.

"Oh you mean, Zachary. We went to High Shool together." I inform him.

"Is there anything going on between the two of you?" Aaron asks me and I laugh.

"No, he has a girlfriend." I tell him.

"And if he didn't?" He asks and I don't have an answer for him.

"Um, let's stop talking about him now. How's the company?" I ask Aaron, changing the subject.

Aaron immediately starts going on and on about his company and I thank God.

All these business moguls are the same, self-indulgent assholes. It doesn't take much for you to make them talk about themselves.

"So, will you be joining me tomorrow night?" Aaron asks me.
