Black Tie - Mia London
Chapter One
Dane sipped his iced tea, narrowing his eyes toward a brunette, in her early thirties, chatting with her friend over a salad lunch. She looked oddly familiar, but he couldn’t place the face. Dane was generally good with faces.
She’d slung her jacket over the back of her chair, wearing only a pale pink shell. He’d learned that term from his ex-wife, Johanna.
Ugh! Just the thought of her made his gut churn.
The brunette’s shoulders were strong and shapely, and the column of her neck delicate. When she smiled, her entire face lit up, and her posture smacked of confidence.
Then it hit him. She worked in the west building. On the Dragon Project, he thought.
Damn! That whole product line was getting sold. As CEO, he’d told only a few of his lieutenants, demanding they keep it under wraps until the ink was dry on the deal.
Dane had no idea what personnel the acquiring company would keep on.
Shit! No ring on her finger. That likely meant no financial assistance from a husband and possibly no savings.
Dane swirled the ice in his glass, watching as she crossed her shapely legs.
The waitress approached. Can I get you anything else, sir?
The check, please. And…
he glanced at her name tag, Roxy, I want you to bring me the check from that table too.
He discreetly pointed toward the brunette and her friend.
Roxy smiled. Yes, sir.
The waitress returned a short time later, and he placed some cash on the table. Then, he pulled out a business card and headed for the woman he had to learn more about.
Excuse me.
Both women looked up at him. Oh, Mr. Taylor.
The brunette rose, her eyes widened.
He offered a hand. I’m sorry. I know you work for me, but I don’t know your name.
She took his hand and answered. I’m Sophie St. Charles. I work data entry on the Dragon Project.
Data entry? What the hell? She looked too smart to be doing data entry.
Yes. Well, I have a personal assistant getting ready to retire, and I’d like to talk to you about the position.
Her mouth gaped.
Here’s my card. Please send me your resume as soon as possible, Sophie.
She glanced down at the card. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
He nodded to her and her friend, and then headed toward the exit.
Sir. He couldn’t decide if he liked her referring to him in such a formal way. Made him feel like his father. But damn if the wheels hadn’t started turning the moment her warm hand slipped into his.
He’d never done anything like this before. Almost everyone he’d hired had gone through HR first, but since she already worked for him…
Oh, who was he kidding? He wanted her. It was that fucking simple. He’d come up with a plan to parlay his open PA position with a way to get fucking Johanna out of his life. Well, at least, out of his mind.
Yeah. The gears were turning. He couldn’t wait to hold her interview.
Sophie was nervous. The prior week at lunch with Anne, Mr. Dane Taylor—The Dane Taylor—approached her. She’d studied his theory on conducting business in China and was enthralled. He
