Bold (The Dark Billionaire, #8) Read Online Free PDF Page A

few books and thumbed through the pages but nothing really caught their attention. The young woman was still there. Jennifer wanted to tell her that they weren’t going to buy anything and that it wasn’t necessary to follow them everywhere.
    Bruce also noticed the woman and decided to engage a conversation.
    “Do you have any good cooking books?” He said.
    “Of course. This way,” the woman said as she led them to another section. “Books in English I assume?”
    “Yes, please,” Bruce said.
    She picked up three books and handed them to Jennifer and Bruce.
    “These are bestsellers in France.”
    Jennifer looked at the names but didn’t recognize any of them.
    “I don’t know any of these chefs,” Jennifer said.
    The woman nodded. “They are not famous outside of France but they are very good. I’ve tried a few of their recipes and it’s very avant-garde. If you love to try new things, you’ll fall in love with these recipes, guaranteed.”
    Jennifer paid closer attention to the lady. She didn’t talk like a regular cashier and definitely looked like she was into cooking as well.
    “Do you cook often?” Jennifer said.
    “Oh yeah, all the time. That’s my passion...”
    Bruce and Jennifer looked at each other and smiled. They had found someone just like Jennifer.
    “She’s exactly the same,” Bruce said, flashing his thumb at Jennifer.
    She smiled and extended her hand.
    “I’m Natalie, nice to meet you.”
    Bruce and Jennifer shook her hand and introduced themselves as well.
    “Okay, Natalie,” Jennifer said. “I’m going to give it a try. I’ll take the three of them.”
    “You won’t regret it,” Natalie said with a large smile on her face.
    They walked back to the cashier. Bruce offered to pay but Jennifer refused. Natalie put all the books in a bag and gave them a name card.
    “Give me a call and tell me what you think,” she said.
    “Aw, thank you,” Jennifer said. She patted her pockets but she already knew she didn’t have any business card to give in exchange.
    Natalie was very friendly and she had picked three very original books immediately. It was good to keep in touch with her, just in case. Jennifer would try a few of these new recipes and decide later if it was worth her time. She could always come back and get more books before going back to New York.
    Bruce saw Jennifer struggling to find a non-existent card and gave his to Natalie. She took a look at it and just said thank you. Of course, she hadn’t recognized Bruce’s name and didn’t know who he was. It was actually better that way. Jennifer wanted to spend some quality time, under the radar.
    On their way back to the yacht, Jennifer felt the need to confess one more time. She and Bruce were in a decisive period of their relationship and the opportunity might not present itself before a very long time. No more secret and total honesty; that was their commitment and Jennifer still had something she was struggling with.
    “Bruce? I need to tell you something else,” she said.
    He became livid and swallowed hard.
    “Please... don’t tell me that there was someone else again.”
    “My God, no, I’m so clumsy. No, there’s nobody else, Bruce. That’s not what I meant. I just need to talk about something important.”
    Bruce exhaled a sigh of relief. “Be gentle. I’m still sensitive.”
    “I know. I just don’t want to hide anything from you. I feel that you need to know so that you can understand me, in case I say something awkward...”
    Bruce frowned. He clearly didn’t understand.
    “What are you talking about?”
    “It’s about what happened in the sex club...”
    Bruce seemed to be relieved and relaxed.
    “Okay. What about it?”
    “I think I have a fantasy that I need to share with you. You’re my husband and it’s very important for me to have a fulfilling relationship with you.”
    She paused but Bruce said nothing. He was waiting for her to finish.
    “Do you remember Jeanne?”
    “Yeah,
