meet him at the bar tonight to tell him the good news."  I feel like I am on cloud nine right now.  None of the board hated me except for one. I held my cool and controlled the meeting even with the huge distraction of Ian Brady. 
                  "So, Ethan.  What is your salary here?" I ask him so bluntly that he doesn't even hesitate to answer. 
                  "A little under thirty a year," he scoffs. He should scoff; he is worth way more than that.
                  "How about you come work for me. We will start with a hundred a year plus free travel, and there will be a lot of traveling.  I need someone like you at my side." He looks shocked.  I am too, because I just offered someone a lot of money to be at my beck and call basically. I did it without even thinking.  It feels good. I need to make snap decisions more often. 
                  "Ummm, yes please!" He is smiling from ear to ear.
                  "So you could move to New York?  I can set you up in an apartment in my building.  Rent free of course.  Is this still good for you?"
                  He shakes his head back and forth like he is trying to wake up from a dream.  "Yep, still good.”
                  The elevator doors open and a man rolls in a cart.  “I took the liberty of ordering you some supper.  I figured you’d be hungry after skipping breakfast and lunch,” Ethan says apprehensively.
                  “Oh yeah, this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.” I smile at him as he takes the metal domes off three plates; steak on one, salmon on another, and pasta on the last. 
                  “Wasn’t sure what you would like.” I like all of them and might have to eat a little of all three.
                  “You hungry? There’s obviously plenty for three.” I sit and start cutting into the steak.  I didn’t realize how hungry I was until I smelled this delicious food.
                  “Actually, I thought since you were going down to the bar in a couple hours that I would take you up on that offer for a night off.  I need to talk to Mallory about my new job.” He gives me a cute little pleased look with a shuffle of his feet like a little kid, which makes me laugh.
                  “Of course,” I answer still chuckling. “Are you guys serious? Shit, is she going to be mad?” Crap! I never thought about the ties he has here in Vegas.  I don’t know where his parents live or anything.
                  “No we are not serious, and yes she is going to be mad.” He shrugs. “We have only been having some fun, but I think it is more for her.”
                  “That does happen, but you'll be in Vegas quite a bit, you know, so you can still see her if you want.” I try the pasta and it is divine.
                  “Yeah, I think a clean break will be for the best.  I’m not the tied down kind of guy right now.” We do have a lot in common, because I feel the same way.  Relationships are messy and people get hurt in them. People try to change people in relationships, and I don't need changed. I’d rather steer clear from all that drama right now.
                  Ethan leaves and I have a few more bites of each of the dishes. I’m stuffed to the brim when head into the bedroom to figure out what I am going to wear tonight. 
                  It’s not a date. I am just going to tell him the good news, maybe have a drink, and then get back to my room.  That is the plan. Right?   I decide on a white silky, flowy skirt that is right above the knee and an aquamarine loose fitting silk top that has long sleeves with slits showing off my shoulders and arms.  Laces thread back and forth giving it a more elegant look.   The best part about this outfit is that I get to wear underwear.  I find a white lacey
