On Monday morning, Michael went to work with a smile on his face. Hed very much enjoyed his night with Alexis. I think Ive finally found someone to replace Veronica. Shes classy and smart, and shes not clingy. He sailed through his day, joking and laughing with the others on the 50th floor.
At about 4:30 his phone blipped to indicate a message. Michael looked at it and frowned. It was Alexis. Meet me for drinks at Bemelmans after work today. I want to run something by you.
He grimaced. Just when I thought this was a good thing, he thought to himself. Quickly he texted back. Im not sure Ill have time today. Im pretty swamped, and not positive when Ill be free.
Minutes later, Alexis responded. Make time. I have some business to discuss with you.
Business, he puzzled. He wondered what it could be. He knew that Alexis was very influential in her circle. Ill meet you at about 6:30, he returned.
