Kate POV 💋
I sat on my couch, arms wrapped around my knees, as I tried to gouge out the reaction on Peter's face. I had just told him about the hotel project and he hadn't said anything so far. By the frown on his face, I knew he was deep in thought.
Peter had flown in from Chicago for the weekend and as soon as he arrived, I had told him about the offer from Jason.
"I don't understand why Jason Perez would want to hire you for this." He said finally.
That was not what I expected him to say. Was he doubting my ability? "And what does that mean?"
"I'm not saying you can't do it." He said noting the edge in my voice. "It's just that you don't have much experience in handling such huge projects. But if he thinks you are the perfect person for the job, then it doesn't matter."
"So you're okay with me working for him?"
"Well, you already accepted his offer without consulting with me first, didn't you?" He said it with a smile but I could sense the disapproval in his voice. I hated to admit it but Hal was right. Peter felt as if he could dictate everything in my life. Maybe the fault was mine for letting him get away with it for the past two years.
"I don't actually feel fine with you working for him, considering he is your ex-boyfriend." He continued. "But it's a golden opportunity for your career and I understand how important that is. And it's not like I have anything to worry about."
"What do you mean?"
"If this was any other man, I would have been worried about him coming on to you." He laughed as if he was telling a joke. "But he's Jason Perez. I've seen his picture splashed all over tabloids with different women on his arm. So it's not like he's going to be interested in someone like you when he has all those women at his service."
"Someone like me?"
"Oh, you know what I mean, honey." He said quickly. "He's well known for dating actresses and models. You both might have dated a long time ago but I think it's safe to say you're definitely not his type anymore."
I wondered if he knew how insulting his words sounded. But then I pushed the thoughts away. He was right anyway.
Peter's phone rang at that moment and he answered it instantly. "Yes. I'm about to leave. I'll see you in twenty." He ended the call and reached for his overnight bag which was on the floor beside the couch.
"You're leaving?" I asked incredulously. "But you just got here."
"I told you some colleagues from work are also here in LA. I told them I would join them for lunch today. And after that we are meeting up with some lawyers who work in a firm here. I'll be back before dinner."
Disappointment rolled through me in waves. "We haven't seen each other in over a month, Peter. I thought this weekend was supposed to be our time together, just us."
"We'll spend the day together tomorrow. I promise." He took out a small velvet box from his bag. "Here, this is for you. I know I forgot our anniversary, and I'm sorry about that, but I hope this makes up for it."
I opened the box to find a pair of silver earrings nestled in the black velvet. It was shaped like a heart with a diamond in the center.
"Don't you like it?" Peter asked when I continued staring at it.
