We walk into the huge entrance where someone takes our coats.
He places his hand back on the small of my back and leads me forward. In front of us stands an elderly couple. Dressed impeccably, the gentleman looks straight at me then starts walking towards us.
Grump* grabs my hand, I flinch at his touch, then I realise what he's doing - I relax.

"Hello, can I help you?"

"Me and my wife are here for the business meal?" he smiles.

First time I've seen him smile.
Cute.

"Names please?"

"Mr and Mrs Jones." I cut in.

He takes my hand in his and smiles.

"Aahh. You must be Anastasia. I've been expecting you."
He kisses my hand and takes a small bow.

"Hands off my wife, Mr Detroit." Gino laughs.

"My apologises, sir. She is breathtaking. You did well."

"I can say I agree." he says as he puts his arm around my waist.

Just then what I presume is his wife appears at the side of him.

"Introduce us, Victor." she snarls at me then her eyes dart towards Gino.
A flirtatious look appears on her face as she puts her arm out for Gino to greet her.

"Mrs Detroit, It's a pleasure to meet you....?"

"Mr Jones and this is my wife, Anastasia." he replies as he ignores her request to kiss her hand. Tightening his grip onto my waist.

"Please excuse me, My wife will escort you."
As Mr Detroit leaves our presence.

"Would you like a tour Mr Jones?"
Who the hell does this bitch think she is? One things for sure if he was my husband, she would of had a slap by now, however, Gino is incredibly uncomfortable so this could be enjoyable.

"We would love a tour, however, I think we can find our own way around."

She's clearly taken aback by his reply.

"Oh, of course. If you need me you know where to find me."
Again she couldn't be any more flirtatious. I'm standing right in front of her, he has his arm around my waist and couldn't be any closer yet she doesn't hesitate to lean forward and kiss his cheek.
Whore.

"Are you sure I can't tempt you to a private tour?"

Does this woman not give up?
I feel Gino tense again. He's very uncomfortable I wish I could leave him with her but we have a job to do and she's standing in our way.

"MY husband and I can find our own way around, isn't that right baby?" I say looking at him, also clearly emphasising the word "MY".

He kisses my forehead and says "That's right, princess." 
Oh, he's smooth, I'll give him that much.

She puts her nose up and walks off.

"Shit, she wasn't letting me go!" he whispers and I laugh.

"Thanks Rylee for saving my ass" I whisper sarcastically.

"Uh huh." he replies.
Asshole.

We get through the meal, just about.
Many questions and forehead kisses later.

"You got it?"

"Obviously!" I reply.

"Good girl, maybe I underestimated you, honey."

"Don't honey me again, you're not my husband when people aren't around to witness the act."

"Whatever princess let's go."
