Chapter 177 - 176
ASHER
"Thank you for coming." I say to Mrs. Olga, a youthful looking CEO in her forties, just before kissing her cheeks. "It was a pleasure to have you." She palms my cheek with a naughty look glistening in her eyes.
"It’s Ms. Olga. My divorce was recently finalized." She clarifies, fluttering her thick lashes. "You’re a very good-looking man, Asher Rollins. Why don’t you pay me a visit at my vacation home on Kingston Avenue? I assume you’d be interested in discussing Rollins Group and how we can do business together." Her eyes are literally undressing me at this point.
"That’s very sweet of you, Ms. Olga..."
"Oh, please, just call me Olga. No formality needed." A seductive wink follows as she skims my shoulder with her hand. "That’s a strong arm you’ve got under there. Can’t wait to see everything under these clothes. Call me?"
I just nod my head. Thankfully, her chauffeur steers her away to her car.
"Was that the last one?" Anna asks, coming up behind me.
"I hope so because I am done with seeing these guests off! I need a shower and a shut eye for at least four hours. "Then after a brief glance at my watch, "Make that three. I have an early meeting tomorrow..." I trail off when I note her demeanor. "Oh, you’ve got something on your face."
"What?" She reaches for her cheek and starts wiping. "What is it? Is my makeup running? Is it a food stain?"
"Yeah, looks like a stain all right." I lean close to have a better look. "What did you eat? Your face is all GREEN." Then I burst out laughing at her. She gives my shoulder an impressive punch and scowls at me. "Careful, if I didn’t know any better, I’d think you’re being jealous right now."
"You wish, Asher Rollins." Rolling her eyes, she fluffs her hair. "I’m just a very good actress if you haven’t noticed." Her eyes dart around the mansion, over the thinning guests and the uniformed cleaners taking down decorations and transforming the mansion back to it’s original look. "Tonight was...interesting."
