“All you need to do is smile and look adoringly at me until we get into the suite where Daniel is staying.” Jake shrugs with one shoulder. He really sees no issue at all.
Yes, I’m sure that’s going to be easy.
“When are you leaving?” Margo presses, turning his hazy green eyes away from the scrutinizing he is doing over me.
“Now, if she needs to go home first … Where do you stay, Emma?” his eyes are back on mine, once again making me uneasy as he scans my attire.
I tell him where in West Sunnyside and he nods before moving off to call his driver. I hear him telling him to meet us at the rear of the underground parking garage as I try to pull myself back together.

“Yes, Margo.” I answer blankly, head reeling with all of this and feeling overwhelmed suddenly.
“Emma?” She halts me with a gentle hand on my arm.
“Yes?” I pause at her sudden intense look.
“Try to relax around Jake … He’s actually very easy to hang out with.” She grins, but it does nothing to remove the tension building up inside of me.
I don’t want to hang out, I want to do my job.

“That habit is at odds with how you present yourself, you know?”
I look up at his remark questioningly. The way he is regarding me, and half-smirking my way.
