Read Let It Be Me (Let It Be Me #1) for Free Online Page B

Clicking on the link, she was directed to an entertainment blog. “Stone’s Wild Night” was at the top right below the blog title and there was a picture of him with a statuesque beauty cozying up to him.  She read the first few words of the article. “Alexander Stone graced the new hip club Harvest Wednesday night and partied the Alexander Stone way – with overflowing alcohol and beauties!”
    Kayla shook her head in disbelief. They missed her that night, alright.
     “Can you believe this is the same guy we see in meetings?” Jenny said incredulously. “It’s like he has a split personality.”
    Kayla didn’t tell Jenny that if she had agreed, they would have been at that bar last night too. 
    “In defense to him, maybe he’s just good separating business and pleasure,” Kayla reasoned. But then she remembered that time in the elevator. Even if he may or may have not known she was part of the team doing the residential development with him, he knew she was part of the firm. It didn’t stop him from trying to seduce her. 
    Maybe he didn’t deserve her defense then.
    “Maybe,” Jenny said, though still sounding doubtful. Then she paused. “I do see that the two of you are getting chummy.”
    Kayla was speechless for a second but managed to shrug. “I’m getting used to him. Or rather, I’m learning how to deal with him. If you try to forget what or who he is, he seems like a normal enough guy.”
    Yeah, right. 
    “What if he shows some interest in you, Kayla?” Jenny asked. 
    Kayla laughed. “That’s crazy,” she said vehemently. “Look at the article. He’s surrounded by gorgeous actresses and models. He wouldn’t look at some boring architect.”
    “Of course that’s not true,” Jenny said. Knowing Jenny, she would still want to debate with her, but she laid the matter to rest. “Anyways that’s just for some entertainment this morning. Back to work.”
    Kayla just laughed. “See you later, Jen.”
    Putting down the phone, Kayla stared at the screen for a minute before giving in. She scrolled down to see the rest of the article. There were more pictures of him with a number of women dressed in the tightest clothes. Kayla spotted Ben in the corner of one of the photos. He seemed to be having fun too. Her attention went back to the photos of Alex. This was his life. He was surrounded by equally beautiful and exciting people. 
    This just confirmed Kayla’s thoughts last night that as normal as Alex seemed sometimes, he has this life that seems so foreign to her. It was just right for Kayla to keep their relationship to stay professional. She couldn’t even imagine being friends with him outside the conference room.
    Yes, he has kissed her, but that was before Kayla put her foot down and insisted he can’t treat her like his other women. She doubted he was interested in her. He was just a player. He treated women that way because he could. He thought she was just another girl for him. 
    He should get the message that she wasn’t like the others.
