CHAPTER 44

"Joe...I can't" I hesitated and raised my hands up to him. "I'm 42 and you have so much to offer someone your age and this..."

"Alix-What are you talking about?" he said and crossed his arms on his chest. ANGRY

"U-um, I don't know..for starters your so young and I have a life that I'm used to having...I have Lyla that I've promised to provide and not to point to the obvious, I have a position at work that I worked my ass off to get...which I hope I still have by tomorrow" I snap nodding my head.

"We come from two different worlds-Joe...I don't know," I mumble confused. I have too much in my head right now and turn around holding my arms across my chest.

"You can't even come up with an excuse, your selfish-Alix?" he says pacing around the couches. It seems he doesn't know how this is going to end. He's nervous.

"I'm fucking selfish, you have the nerve" and I throw the nearest thing I could find at him, a pillow probably worth thousands, I'm not sure but it was near me and I quickly picked it up. The things this man does to me.

"Is this what you like to do Alix-you react when funking shit doesn't go your way or if you don't hear the answers you want to hear" he snaps yelling at me as I turned around to walk away from him as far as I can. 

"God damn Alix-I've told what you want to hear, is that not good enough? What else do want to hear... That I'm a broke consultant that can't provide or manage the life you are used to?"

"If that's not selfish, then I don't know what else to say!" he rambles with rage in his eyes, walking back to me. My god, please don't come by me, I'm feeling my arousal coming on. Don't cave Alix!! 

"I'm sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Taylor...your wine," Robert says, excusing himself keeping his eyes at the wine glass, not my eyes. I take it and he nods. How embarrassing, how long has he been in here, I didn't even hear him come in. Those doors are solid wood. Hopefully, he didn't see when I threw the pillow. It was probably $100,000. 

"Thank you, Mr. Roberts" 

"Is there anything else Mrs. Taylor-Mr. Thomas?" He simply asks. Yeah, a bottle of something fucking strong. I felt like saying. But...

"That's all for now, Robert" Joe answers him. I turn to Joe and gaze at him. I hear Espinoza walk in with a glass in her hand, walking towards Joe.  

Mr. Thomas" she says as she hands him the glass of his scotch. Could that be the 6.2 million dollar bottle he shoved in Anthony's face, as to what his preferences was? She walks out as I watch her leave.

"Joe...how do they know who I am, my name and what I like to drink?"

He takes a sip of his drink and sexily licks his lips. Why must he do that? He puts it on the coffee table and starts to walk toward me. My heart can't take it any longer, my arousal and kegels are strong and building up. I then move away to the other side of the room. I think he realizes that I can't be near him. I can't have him too close to me plus he still hasn't answered me on how they know my name.

"Joe, tell Me, those two men that you were socializing with at the cocktail reception, you knew them?"

"Yes," he honestly said nodding his head knowing I'm going to be disappointed that they also knew who he was and I had no inkling of anything. I nod disappointed.

"Great, I guess the joke was on me," I burst out and slap my thighs with the palms of my hands, pist off to no end.

"No Alix-that's not true and you know it," He tries again to come near me and I don't budge.
