All Chapters of Money Can't Buy Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

MichaelIt took a lot of willpower to leave Rainey. She looked sexy as hell tonight and I’d been right about her figure underneath her pantsuit which had been on my mind since meeting her. I wanted to know if she had a boyfriend, but I supposed it was good that I didn’t know. All thoughts of her had been more than professional. And not for the first time did I wonder if hiring Rainey or any woman was a good idea. I had no choice now. I wanted to see her succeed and I just as badly needed a good assistant who was professional while my thoughts were anything but.On the way upstairs, someone’s hand pressed against my back and I turned, expecting Rainey to be there. If she were, I’d have no choice but to follow her onto the dance floor and make myself more acquainted with her body.I was somewhat disappointed where instead of Rainey was a blonde. She winked at me and crooked her finger for me to follow her down the hallway to the bathrooms. She had a killer rack and it wasn’t hard to ima

RaineyFor the rest of the night, I couldn’t get Michael out of my head. I spotted him once in the VIP rooms. It made sense since his brother owned the place. I wondered what it was like up there. The only experience with VIP rooms was living vicariously through movie and television characters. When I asked Tessa if she’d ever been up there, she’d laughed in my face.“I’d have to pay out two months’ worth of my mortgage to even book one of those rooms. Then you have to get a minimum thousand dollars’ worth of drinks.”“Holy shit!”She nodded. “I’ve been trying to get invited up there to see what it’s like but I’d rather not have to sleep with some skeeze to do it. Not worth it! Besides I love to dance.” Then she proceeded to twirl me until I was dizzy.I couldn’t help but think of Michael and the blonde who followed him upstairs. I’d tried to get that out of my mind the entire night but I couldn’t. Admittedly, I thought there was some glimpse of a friendship between us but I chose to

MichaelOn the way to meet Sal Rossi, Rainey barely took a breath while asking me questions about her position. She hadn’t been kidding about her determination. She wanted to know every detail of her position in case there were other instances of being left alone in the office. Sandra’s illness hadn’t come at a great time but she needed another full day to rest. And now that I hired an assistant, Sandra’s biggest project for the month was complete.All night I’d thought of Rainey in her sexy little outfit. I only stayed for a little while longer at Kadia. I knew if I stayed then I wouldn’t be able to resist going back down there to be with her. And that was crossing a line. I needed to work with her every day. Doing whatever my impulses wanted would have caused an issue with our working relationship.And as much as I wanted to see Rainey first thing that morning, I gave her some time to get into the office after being out late. Besides, I needed to do more research on Sal Rossi, so I

RaineyI started to catch onto Michael’s mood swings. He went from frustrated scowls to brilliantly happy smiles within seconds. The meeting with Sal Rossi had been strange, to say the least. I thought at any moment they would whip out dueling pistols and have a showdown. There was something off about their relationship yet they still kept it strictly professional.It wasn’t my place to interfere but I wondered why he would take a client that was in direct competition with his brother’s club? Maybe he thought the City was big enough for the both of them? Or maybe he was so money-hungry that he would take any client no matter what. Though, from what I knew of Michael, he was a smart businessman. There was something else going on but I didn’t dare ask about it. I was too green in this position to interfere. And as much as I questioned a lot of things he did, I’d wait until I proved myself enough to ask the more penetrating questions of his business.He had been gracious to answer everyt

MichaelI could tell Rainey was impressed by me getting my usual table at Vista. This was something expected from the other women I took out. While I didn’t think she expected that from me, it was refreshing to see that difference in her. With each new experience with Rainey, I realized I liked her more and more.Other than her physical attractiveness, I found her strong, independent and kind, everything I would want in a woman. Too bad I didn’t meet her at Kadia or anywhere else in the City. Being her boss made my attraction to her much more difficult. If she were interested in me, I’d find a way around all of the red tape for her. There weren’t any other women I was willing to do that for.“I had such a great time this afternoon,” she said while looking at the menu. “Rachel is fantastic. She’s very sweet and I’m happy to work with her on this.”Her foot bumped my leg under the table. I glanced down and her foot was shaking as if the events that day had energized her.“I’m glad you f
