“I’m not sure this is on the approved list of acceptable activities between a VIP and his hostess.”
“Your boss is one of my best friends, so I think I know how to make this right.”
“For you?”
He realized again that he was moving too fast. Her comment still ticked him off because he’d always been the kind of man that others respected. “No, Roxy, for you and when you know me better I’ll expect an apology for that.”
“I’m sorry. I’m much better at light social talk, or performing up on the stage where I can’t say the wrong things.”
“You didn’t say the wrong thing.”
“Yes, I did. I offended you.”
“I get offended daily.”
“How?”
“Usually from investors of rival companies. Or the board of directors of a company that I want to take over. Sometimes from my second in command, but he says that’s to keep my ego in check.”
“He’s your friend, then?”
Max thought about Duke and nodded. “Yes. He saved my life once.”
“Did you repay him?” she asked, with a shrewdness he wished she didn’t have.
“Of course I did. I couldn’t let that kind of debt languish.”
“Have you ever let any debt languish?”
“No, I haven’t. I like to keep things even,” he said lightly because he knew that he really preferred to keep the balance tipped toward him. To make sure that he was the one who did just a bit more in a relationship.
“But you’re bossy. So I’m guessing that you like to be in charge all the time.”
He shrugged his shoulder. “What can I say? I run an international conglomerate. I have to lean toward the type-A personality.”
“Just in business?”
He shook his head, uncomfortable pursuing this topic. “You were going to tell me what you were lucky at.”
“I was?”
“Yes, you were.”
“Is that an order?”
She was sassing him. And he liked it, but he gave her a quelling stare. One that always made the office staff jump through hoops for him.
“I’m not intimidated,” she said. “But I will tell you what I’m lucky at….”
She paused and he waited for her to continue.
“I’m lucky in being alive. Now, if I can just remember how to live.”
