that since immigrating to America, I’ve never left the country. Clever.”
    “It’s the truth.”
    “Why me?”
    Arthur turned to her then. “Did you think you were the only one who took the time to investigate?” He winked at her. “I like to know everything about a company before I buy it. Including its employees. I was impressed by your education and accomplishments. I know you better than you think.”
    He could tell that she was taken aback. She swallowed and he stepped closer to her. “So, what is your answer? Will you be my assistant or not?”
    The way she looked up at him made him want nothing more than to kiss her. It was then that he realized it might be best if she did decline his offer. If she was with him all of the time, he feared what he would do.
    She nodded. “Yes. I’ll do it.”
    He closed his eyes. A mixture of relief and worry filled his body.
    “When do we start?”
    He opened his eyes. He had an idea. “Tonight.”
     

Chapter 9
     
    T onight?
    His reply surprised her, but as she had already anticipated, she knew she would do whatever he asked. And so, she took his arm again, and together they made their way back to Aimee and the others.
    Sohana’s eyes widened when she saw Aimee and Elisa locked in a kiss.
    She raised her brows and cleared her throat. “Aimee?”
    Aimee’s eyes turned to Sohana and she pulled away from Elisa’s embrace. Hopping up, she stumbled over to Sohana.
    “What’s up, babe?” Aimee fixed her dress, and ruffled her hair.
    “What is going on?” Sohana’s gaze flickered to Elisa who leaned over to pour herself more champagne.
    Aimee leaned close to Sohana’s ear. “She’s like the hottest girl I’ve ever seen.”
    “But you don’t like girls that way.”
    Shrugging, Aimee smirked. “Anything is possible in The Club. Didn’t you know that?” She looked to Arthur, giving him a wink. “Enough about me. What have you been up to with that hottie?”
    Sohana pulled her to the side, away from Arthur’s earshot. “He is my new boss. I start work tonight.”
    Aimee giggled. “Oh yes. Work. ” She held Sohana’s hand and gave it a pat. “You don’t have to explain anything to me. Have fun, girl. I can call a cab home, but Elisa already promised to get me home safely.”
    Unsure if she should leave her friend behind, Sohana stood there contemplating.
    “Are you sure?”
    “Positive.” Aimee kissed her cheek. “Have fun, babe. Call me in the morning and we can share stories.”
    “Oh right. My phone is in your car.”
    Aimee nodded to Arthur. “I’m sure you can use his.” She remembered something. “Wait. You have a key to my car, silly.”
    “Oh yeah. You’re right,” Sohana said. “I’ll call you then.”
    With a kiss goodbye, Sohana left her best friend, hoping that she would have fun and make it home safely. One thing she was certain of was that the employees of The Club would make sure she was all right. Aimee had remarked often about how close and protective they all were.
    Once they left, Sohana rushed to Aimee’s car to retrieve her cell phone. Arthur insisted on walking her to the car, which was parked in the underground parking lot. Once they made it back to the front of The Club, Arthur’s driver awaited them outside in a silver Land Rover Range Rover.
    She waited for him to open the door for her, and she climbed inside onto the cream-colored leather seats. The inside of the SUV was stunning. She’d never been in a car as immaculate. She had a feeling that the night was only going to get even more magical, and she was ready.
    As they pulled off, Arthur turned to her. “So, first line of business,” he began. “Where can we get a good meal in Karim at midnight?”
    Sohana smiled. “You read my mind. I’m starving.”
    “Good. Tell the driver where to go.” He checked his phone while she thought about the perfect place.
    After two shots and champagne, her stomach screamed for food.
    Sohana leaned forward toward the
