What the hell kind of game was he playing? I left his office feeling dazed and confused. I'm not even going to comment on my quivering cunt. Every sound that came from his mouth went straight to my nether region. I spaced out when we got in the car, and only came back when Taylor's voice reached my dazed brain cells. "What?"

"Mr. De Luca wants to set up a business dinner." I sighed. "Am I free?" Madeline nodded. "Tell him okay." She went back to doing her job. I tried to zone out again. "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell us you knew Mr. Sex on a stick?" I rolled my eyes. "Is knowing him important?"

"It is to me."

"The dinner is tonight at Le Cirque, 8 p.m."

"That's fine Madeline."

"Was there something between you two?" I laughed. "Did you sleep with him?"

"Don't you have a job to do Taylor?"

"I'm doing it. I'll need all the information if I am to do it effectively."

"Stop worrying about Niko De Luca. Believe me, the worry isn't worth it."

As soon as I was back in my apartment I locked myself in my office and called Caleb. "Ms. Paxton, how may I be of service today?" Caleb Miracle was another person on the Kaitlyn-Rose Paxton payroll. There really isn't a name to give his position. Basically, whenever I wanted information, he was the guy I'd go to. How he gets that information was no concern of mine. "Niko De Luca." All I needed to do was give him a name and he'll deliver their whole life story. "Basic, deluxe or premium?" The amount of information you get is based on the package you choose. Caleb had four packages, but always asks you to choose from three. "The executive package."

"That's going to take more time."

"I'll give you until four. We'll meet for drinks then." We didn't discuss payment or anything else. There was no need.

I spent the rest of the afternoon sketching designs and getting ready for the company. When four o'clock came I went to the bar downstairs my complex where I knew Caleb was waiting. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you interested in this guy?"

"I'll tell you that when I figure it out myself. So give me the run down." Caleb had ordered drinks before I got there. I was grateful. I took a sip of my cocktail while he talked.

"Niko De Luca, twenty-seven years old, born on December 6 in Italy to organized crime boss Adamo De Luca and wife Paolina. He grew up with both parents until the age of five when they were killed and he escaped. Liam Birke found him and adopted him under the Birke name until he turned eighteen and left to study in London. He speaks five languages and is the sole heir to all Birke corporations and assets excluding the Birke foundation."

"Excuse me?"

"Your grandfather revised his will when Mr. De Luca turned eighteen." This was news to me. "You find more detailed information inside the folder I gave you." I nodded.

"What about his personal life?"

"He's single and has no children." Single? "Has he ever been married?"

"No, not from what I've gathered." I thought he would have been happily married by now. What changed his mind? "Is there anything in particular I should look out for when it comes to Mr. De Luca?"

"Professionally or personally?"

"Both."

"Professionally, he's a shark, very effective, and someone you'd want on your company's side. Personally, he's a womanizer." What man isn't? "He might even be a little dangerous, but that's a subjective opinion. Everything you want to know is in that folder. Go through it when you have time."
