her
unnaturally large breasts in an inviting way. I looked away, careful not to
linger too long. She was playing the same game all of them were, and I didn’t
like it.

 
    “Yes Miss Chambers,” I replied,
eager to be alone again.

 
    “Your four thirty just cancelled.”

 
    I spun round in my chair and pounded
my hand on the desk. That was the third cancellation this week. Nobody would
have cancelled on my grandfather, but these assholes knew I was only here on a
temporary basis. After his death, I was forced to step in as the acting
president of the company, but with my mother still in charge of the largest
block of voting shares— my shares,
held in trust until I could provide an heir—I couldn’t even begin to bring my
father’s company back from the pit she’d driven it into.

 
    And of course, what little power I
had, she aimed to take from me. The board was ready to vote in a new CEO, and
she made it clear it wasn’t going to be me. Soon I’d be back to my old life, living
off monthly trust disbursements at least until the year was up and I was found
single and childless… Then, I didn’t know what I’d do. I hadn’t exactly planned
for all of this. I had no investments in my name. Even the mansion I lived in
was just a piece of property held by the family corporation.

 
    At least I wasn’t going to die in
this chair like my grandfather did.

 
    I glanced up at the clock and felt a
cool chill roll over me.

 
    “That will be all, Miss Chambers,” I
said, closing my eyes and putting my throbbing head in my hands. There wasn’t
much else to say. I could hear the click and lock of the door, and the click
clack of heels moving across the marble floor.

 
    “Mr. Lambert, you look very
stressed,” she whispered, bringing herself closer. I could feel the heat
radiating off her body as she pressed up against my arm. “Is there anything I can do for you?” she asked.

 
    And there it was, Grandpa’s other gift.

 
    I tried to press her away, but she
was undeterred, her hand snaking down against my tailored Italian suit, finding
itself pressing against the other part of me that was now throbbing. And why
shouldn’t it be? I’d never been afraid to use my wealth to have a little fun.
It’s not like those girls at my parties would be there if I was Chad from
accounting. Miss Chambers was a stunningly beautiful little minx that I would
have had no qualms about taking to bed just a few months ago…

 
    She let out a little gasp of
surprise as I pulled her hand from my thigh, sharply setting it down against
the curve of her hip.

 
    “I said, that will be all , Miss Chambers.”

 
    I watched her closely as she made
her way out of the office with a hint of anger in her step, closing the big
heavy wooden doors behind her. That’s how they all acted now, ever since my
mother decided to leak the terms of my inheritance to the press. Everyone
assumed I must be desperately seeking a wife, and the women I surrounded myself
in my past life weren’t exactly shy about chasing the money.

 
    Mother probably thought she was
helping things along by making me the most eligible bachelor in the country. At
any other time in my life I probably would have enjoyed this, but now it seemed
to bring about a wave of dread inside me.

 
    I knew why I was feeling this way.

 
    I pulled out my smartphone, flipping
through the contacts absentmindedly, stopping on the short and simple entry I
was looking for.

 
    Gigi .

 
    The saying goes, you only want the
things you can’t have… The man who said that wasn’t a billionaire, because
there wasn’t a thing on this damn planet I couldn’t have.

 
    But Gigi was more
than just a thing …

 
    She intrigued me right from the
start. Ethical, strong willed, funny… I liked her, and not just because she
stood up to me about modifying the terms of the will. My wealth didn’t seem to
effect her. She was different from the other women in my
