Borrowed Billionaire #3 Return to Mr. Thorne
Page 5
“Good,” he repeated after me. “Now are you available Monday or not?”
“If it's for work, you'll have to go through Suzanne,” I said. “These are the terms of my partnership with her.”
“Fine,” he said. “I'll call Suzanne.”
Just then, the waitstaff person knocked at the door, came in, and told Mr. Thorne his car and driver were waiting at the back entrance.
The person left, having made no mention of a bill.
Something dawned on me, and I said, “Do you own this restaurant?”
“Among many other things, yes.”
“You might have told me that over dinner.”
“Why? Would you have enjoyed the risotto any less? Or any more?”
I squirmed in my seat. “Never mind. What did you have in mind for Monday?”
“I'll let you know,” he said.
“Um. Okay.”
“I have the number.” His chair made a sound as he pushed it back and stood.
“Great,” I said, pushing my chair back as well.
“Lexie, do me a favor and wait five minutes, until I'm gone, before you come out.”
My jaw dropped open. He wasn't going to drive me home? That was it?
The door clicked shut. He'd left.
And I was alone in the room with a coffee-soaked shirt and a sore seat.
