would have been at the bottom of her list. Ignoring him, she nodded a stiff greeting to Stan who came to his feet at the sight of her.
    “Rei.” He said, obviously surprised to see her standing there. Though why he would be was a mystery. He looked between both her and Justin and his expression became strained. “I need to talk to you.”
    Her stomach dropped. Did he know? How could he know?
    Her eyes flew to Justin, only to see him shaking his head sadly at Stan.
    “Sorry, but it’ll have to wait. Rei and I have a few things to discuss.” He nodded towards his office, and without waiting to see if she would follow, turned and walked away. Helplessly, she shrugged at Stan before hurrying after Justin. Struggling to hide the sense of relief that filled her at the reprieve. She doubted she would like the direction of the conversation they would have had. Stan looked far too serious for it to be anything but bad.
    “Close the door please.” Justin said absently, and Rei obliged him. Suddenly reminded that she had another problem on her hands. He may have just saved her from an awkward conversation with Stan (did he know? God, she hoped not), but she wanted to talk to Justin even less. Though this confrontation may be a good thing. At least now she could see what she’d have to deal with from him.
    “Sit down, Rei.” He said, chuckling. With a start she realized that she had been hovering before his desk, anxiously shifting from foot to foot and wringing her hands as she examined the surface of it. As if she could see the two of them there in her mind’s eye.
    In a way she imagined she could. Even as she pulled up a seat, she thought she could see a faint imprint of her ass forever marring the polished mahogany.
    “Rei?”
    She jumped, “Yes sir?”
    He winced. “I think we’re past all of that don’t you?”
    She shook her head and her chin lifted. “No sir. I don’t.”
    Sighing, he settled back in his own seat. He regarded her for a long time before he finally spoke again.
    “I have a problem.”
    Shifting in her seat, Rei raised a brow in surprise. “Only one?”
    The corner of his mouth lifted in a little half smile. “So far? Yes.”
    “Fine.” She said, determined to play along. “What’s your ‘problem’?”
    He hesitated, and she almost thought he wouldn’t go through with it. That he would just let it go. But then his resolve hardened and he spoke.
    “I’m not a very exciting man. In fact, if I had any friends, they would say I was boring. Work has always been my main priority. Building my business has always been my only concern. I want to change that.”
    She frowned. “What does that have to do me?”
    “I want you.” He stated simply, as if it was a normal thing to just blurt out to someone.
    “Well you can’t have me.”
    “It’ll only be for a little while.”
    She scoffed, “Like that makes it any better? I’m not going to whore myself out to you. How long do you think we’d last before you got tired of me anyway? A week? Two?”
    Looking chagrined he said, “I don’t think I could ever grow tired of you Miss Donovan.”
    Disgusted, Rei threw up her hands. “We are not having this conversation.” She warned him. “Because if we were, I’d be forced to report you to the corporate office for sexual harassment.”
    He shrugged. “I am corporate. And as far as I’m concerned, this is more of a business proposition than anything else.”
    “How so?”
    “You want to run your own company. I’ve seen your credentials, I’ve seen your grades, and looking at you right now, I can see your potential. You want your own business, something you can build from the ground up, and it would satisfy you a hell of a lot more than teaching overseas ever could.” How in the hell had he found all of that out? The benefits of having money and connections she supposed. He took her silence as permission to continue. “Tell me, why did you change your mind about being a business major?
