“No, not at all. You can count on me. How long will we be gone?”
“If the project goes well, I’m going to negotiate with the sellers right there, so we’ll stay there for at least a week.” I cocked my head to the side, gauging her reaction.
For a few moments, we couldn’t look away from each other, and my breathing became slightly faster.
She glanced away, ending the intense moment we had shared. Her fingers were still playing with her hair, and another dirty image popped into my mind.
“We’ll be stopping into see my folks, if that’s okay with you. We’ll stay in a hotel, of course.”
She nodded with a polite smile. “Sure. Anything sounds better than sitting here for a week alone.”
My lips curled up. “Let’s see if you’ll think the same way when you meet my mother. She can be pushy sometimes, but she means well.”
“I can’t wait.”
“Great. So, you should pack right away because we’ll be leaving tomorrow morning.”
“Alright. Then, can you tell me more about this project?”
I took the folder with papers that Daniel had provided me with and passed it to her.
“Open it. Inside you can find photos and more information about that hospital.”
Our hands touched for the brief moment when she took the folder from me, and her lips parted to let a small gasp out. I met her gaze, surprised at how good that touch felt.
I cleared my throat, concentrating on the matter at hand instead on my hard-on. “This hospital is at a good location, and it’s promising. Since its opening four years ago, its net revenue grew steadily, and each year shows an exponential growth of clients.”
“That sounds terrific. So do you plan to expand it if you decide to acquire it?” she asked as she looked through the papers, and I used this opportunity to look at her.
What was about her that attracted me so much? She didn’t look like the girls I used to date. I preferred redheads or brunettes, and I liked them tall. Chloe was the complete opposite, but there was something special about her, and I had a feeling that if I were to fuck her, it would be something to remember.
As her boss, I was supposed to keep my dick in my pants, but it was getting harder and harder to resist her. We were going to be together for the whole week, and my mind reeled with the possibilities. There were so many things I could do to her...
“Probably in a few years, yes,” I answered a bit huskily. “As you can see, it’s rather small and has limited capacity, but I can bring more doctors from the area and get the best contract with the insurance company.”
She opened her mouth to say something, but my phone rang, interrupting her and my not-so-innocent flow of thoughts.
“Hold on,” I told her and picked up the phone on my desk. “Yes?”
“Dr. Evander, it’s Lucy. Mr. Stanley Brams has tachycardia and requires your immediate assistance. He’s in the room 308.”
Stanley Brams was a financial investor in the hospital with a pacemaker, who was one of the few patients I still saw even though I owned the hospital.
“I’ll be right there.” I ended the call and stood up, immediately switching to my doctor mode. “I have to go,” I told Chloe. “One of my patients needs me.”
“Yes. Of course. I’ll be at my desk if you need me.”
“Okay. See you later.”
I threw on my white lab coat, noticing the awe on her face as her gaze followed me, and ran out of the door, even though I wanted to stay with her.
I reached the room 308 in no time and started with the check up, noticing that Stanley looked better than I’d expected. Despite my advice, he was still a heavy smoker and had his cholesterol levels high above the limit, his weight almost as double as mine. I asked him to perform vagal maneuver, hoping to slow down his heartbeat before resorting to drugs.
“You’re a life saver,” Stanley mumbled to me as his condition grew more stable, and I let myself relax.
“And you keep putting yourself in danger, Stanley. I’ve told you many times to control your diet. I hope your wife can put some sense into you soon.”
He responded with laughter, adding some of his half-baked jokes, but my mind had already wandered back to Chloe, unable to resist her control over my thoughts.
