draws the women to him is my guess, that’s what happened with me. He also has plenty of game when it comes to seducing women. I speak from experience and know firsthand how easily he can get you to spread for him.
    We settle in and order lunch. Once our lunch arrives, John seems a little tense.
    “So, works been busy for you?” I ask.
    “I’ve got this case I’m working 24/7 on, I have been practically sleeping at the office. I’m sorry I haven’t called you this week,” he says apologetically. I don’t really count on his calls, I know how busy he is and I know I have been working insane hours as well.
    “No need to apologize, I have been working insane hours as well. What’s the saying, no rest for the wicked,” I laugh.
    “Sophie, I want us to start making more time to see each other. I know we both work long hours, but I’m not going to wait around for much longer. I’m not quite sure what you’re doing and with whom, but it has to end. I’ve been cool and have never asked you what you’ve been up to. I know there has been someone else vying for your attention off and on for the past few months, but you’ve got to make a choice, will it be me or him. I love you and can see a future with you,” John tells me. I swallow hard at his declaration. He’s right, he’s never asked me, but he’s not stupid. He knows there’s been someone else. I look at my dear sweet John sitting across the table from me. He’s been nothing but good to me. Always such the well-polished, intelligent, incredibly loyal and classy gentleman who treats me like a princess. I would be a first class fool not to pursue more with him. I know that, he has so much to offer any girl. I can just imagine how many women in his office have had their eye on him. He really is the whole package. He’s perfect, with no character flaws, none that I can see anyway.
    “I don’t know what to say John,” I softly reply.
    “I’d like you to say you’ll make more time for me. You need to show me you’re committed to us and our future together.” When I’m with John, I can see my future with him would be safe and secure. I know in my heart that he would love me until the end of time. He would cherish me and take good care of me and our children. But at night, it’s Marcus I crave. His touch, his scent, his voice and his body covering mine, loving me oh so intimately. I’m twenty-six and I know now is the time and I need to make this critical life decision. John is pushing my hand and I can’t wait too much longer or else I’ll lose John for good.
    “I understand John, I care about you. Let me think about it,” I murmur and we sit there in silence while we both finish our lunch. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do, I have some serious thinking to do.
    Harry’s Bar is downstairs in the breezeway across from Hunter Investments. As John and I are saying goodbye Christopher walks by with another money manager from Hunter. We make eye contact and he gives me a wave acknowledging that, yes, he just saw John kiss me and wrap me in a tight embrace. Great, I should have met John someplace further away from work. I sincerely hope Christopher doesn’t run and tell Marcus. I go and seek Christopher out in his office as soon as I return to our floor.
    “Hey,” I say walking into his office and taking a seat.
    “Hey Sophie, who was your lunch companion?” Christopher asks.
    “John Devereaux.”
    “Oh, isn’t he the guy you were dating before you and Marcus started…” Christopher remarks.
    “Yes, that’s him. Please don’t mention that you saw us,” I admit.
    “Why, would it be a big deal?” he questions.
    “To Marcus it might be,” I say glancing down at my hands.
    “What’s wrong Sophie?” Christopher knows me pretty well, but it may be dangerous confiding anything to him. He’s known Marcus longer than he has known me.
    “Nothing really, just please don’t say anything to Marcus. He get’s jealous and I
