"You must've messed up?" I cover my mouth but it's too late.

I look at Dante then immediately look elsewhere, me and my big mouth always getting me into so much trouble.

"Yes, I did..."

Playboy's confessing? He hands me a card that has his initials on it, it looks like his bank card. The crazy idea of emptying his bank account and running off to some little Island seemed so tempting right now.

"Do you trust me with your card? I've just started today aren't you scared I might empty it?"

"Would you?"

"Well no I wouldn't."

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Let's get back to the more important things."

Does he trust everyone so easily? Maybe this plan would go much smoother than I thought it would.

Laughing at myself he looks at me confused. I can't even rob you, Dante, how on earth would I be able to ruin you?

After a few hours, we finished working on his diary scheduling for the following month. He was strictly businesslike but he did have a much softer approach towards me. Can you believe it, one moment he's like a livid passionate lover and the next back to business mode? It's like he's not even a human being.

"Next week I have to go to Heisenberg for three days I do expect you to accompany me."

I look at him confused as I've really just started working here and already he expects me to go with him on a business trip? I must've befriended lady-luck or something because this plan just gets easier by the second ...but I don't think it's such a good idea to go with him after what just happened.

"Heisenberg?"

"I have to go to our construction site there to see how the building's coming along and I have to meet up with the manager and do some important work."

"Can't someone else go with you?"

"You're my PA, aren't you?"

I was completely blindsided and caught off guard by his question which he asked in such a cool manner. 

 "It's part of your job description, I thought you wanted to learn everything there's to know about this industry?"

"I do, I do. But..."

"Miss Vaughn this meeting is long overdue I have to go and you'll accompany me I need y..." he clears his throat.

"You have to make notes of all the meetings, I hope your boyfriend won't mind you accompanying me alone for three days." He says lingering seductively on the last words.

My throat suddenly felt dry... starring at his lips as the words linger from it.

"Boyfriend?"

He must be referring to Quinn. I must've been imagining things but I thought I heard a little jealousy in his voice. Maybe I should use that to my advantage... add some fuel to the fire.

"Oh yes... no-no that won't be a problem at all."

Dante looks at me puzzled, he makes me so gobble minded I completely forgot about my "boyfriend" thankfully he didn't say anything.

 "My boyfriend completely trusts me with men like you Mr. Costello." I let the words swift in the air a tint of anger evident in his deadly grey eyes when he turns to gaze at me.

"Well, then that's just perfect if that's all... I'll be in my office."

As I stood up he grabbed me by the hand I stared at him surprised.
