My Billionaire Boss

Chapter Twenty-Three: A Deal

Willow could barely contain her laughter as she looked at the photo. The woman in the picture was none other than the head of Woodville Incorporated. She was also married. In fact, her husband was in the background of the photo checking his phone. Willow was thankful that she had done such a thorough job researching Woodville.

Willow had a plan, if she could act upset and renounce Matthew, maybe Jack would give her more information on his meeting with Mr. Cobbs the telemarketer giant. She just hoped her acting was up to par.

Her eyes began to fill with tears as she silently handed the phone back to Jack.

"How could he?" she asked in a quiet voice.

Jack patted her back. "It's going to be alright," he said soothingly. "It's better to know his true character now rather than later."

She sighed and took a sip of her drink, "What am I going to do now. I still work for that asshole."

"You can work for me," he said casually.

She gazed up at him and wiped her eyes. "Do you really mean that?" she asked.

He grinned. "Of course! I can always use an extra pair of hands at the office. Besides, you would be very useful to have on this trip."

"Useful how?" she asked warily.

Jack leaned forward, his lips could have brushed hers.

Suddenly, Jack withdrew and poked her cheek.

"You look cute when you blush," he remarked.

She batted his hand away, "Knock it off," she said with a smile. Willow wished it was Matthew teasing her instead.

"I need information, and I think you can supply it," he stated, getting down to business.

"Information?" she asked. "What kind of information?"

"I'm not asking for company secrets, I just want to know who else Matthew is meeting with in Dubai."

"I know he wants to meet with some local contractors, but he hasn't divulged any other information." Willow lied.

Jack began to absentmindedly trace patterns on Willow's arm with his index finger.

"See if you can find out. You're his assistant after all."

"I'll do my best, but I don't think he trusts me enough."

Jack gripped her arm tightly before letting go. "I want to give you a job. I want you to work for me, but I can't do that unless you do this for me. Do we have a deal?" he asked curtly.

Asshole, Willow thought.

"Yes," she said aloud.

"Good," he said, his tone was light and casual again. "I have a meeting at Fairmont tomorrow at noon but after that I should be free. We should catch up and get lunch somewhere, I'd love to take you around Dubai."

Willow nodded, but her mind was racing. That must be the time and place of Jack's meeting with Mr. Cobbs.

Jack whispered in her ear, "Now, let me give you a tour of my hotel room."

Willow pulled back, she was about to reply when she noticed a figure rapidly walking towards them.

"What is going on here?" Matthew rumbled as he strode up to the bar.
