Sasha checked all of the important details, making sure nothing was out of place. She had to keep herself busy to stop her mind from wandering back to Sterling’s shocking phone call last night.
Hearing his deep, sensual voice had thrown her off guard so badly, it had momentarily made her speechless, but she quickly regained her composure and focused on what he was asking her. She wasn’t interested in a thing he wanted to tell her over drinks.
Honestly, she was surprised to hear from Sterling after the way she blew past him after work. She hadn’t even bothered to see if he needed anything else from her before she gathered her belongings and left, not even turning around when he had called her name. Yeah, it might have been a bit childish and immature on her part, but every woman had a right to revert back to that once in her adult life.
Truthfully their relationship hadn’t grown past the getting to know you stage. It wasn’t like she and Sterling spent a lot of time building a special connection or anything that resembled a couple falling in love. It was better she knew now how he felt instead of finding out later after she invested more time in him.
Nope, Sasha understood where she stood with Sterling and she was going to quit working for him. She was getting older and she couldn’t waste any more time. She was ready to settle down and start having kids. Rachelle had found the man of her dreams and she was going to do the same thing.
It just wouldn’t be Mr. Sterling Hamilton.
Sasha had only become interested in him because she felt an unbelievably intense connection. Of course, when it seemed like Sterling was getting over the stress of rebuilding his father’s deteriorating business, he started acting differently towards her.
For several months the idea of getting more hands-on with Luxury had been running through her head. Why should she stand to the side and let Rachelle have all the fun watching the family business grow?
Rachelle was forever teasing her about her issues, with everything having its own certain place, but she couldn’t help it. If something was out of place, or was broken, then she would make it right. It didn’t matter if it was her house, office, or either one of her jobs.
On the other hand, Genise found fault with her neatness and didn’t have a problem telling her about it. Her baby sister thought her necessity to have everything in order without any mess was part of her being hard to please, and not wanting to see things another person’s way, but it wasn’t true.
She was very flexible about certain things. She possessed the wonderful ability to fit in anywhere or with anyone for any situation. Sasha wasn’t against adapting, but she wasn’t going to be anyone’s doormat.
Sterling was done using her for her keen business sense while ignoring the rest of her. All of those qualities came inside the same cute, sexy package. If he couldn’t appreciate her from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet, then he didn’t need to be in her world.
“Here you are. I was headed to your office to see you until a guy pointed me in this direction,” a male voice said behind her.
Sterling! Why was he here? Why couldn’t he have stayed away? She wasn’t in the mood to deal with him today.
Taking a deep, unsteady breath, Sasha slowly turned around and glanced up at Sterling, noticing the serious look on his handsome face. “Mr. Hamilton, what are you doing here? You wouldn’t come by Luxury unless it has something to do with your business. I can’t come into work today if that is what you want. I’m very busy here taking over for my sister Rachelle.”
Sterling shook his head, causing a lock of his hair to fall against his forehead, which gave him a sexier appearance. “No, I’m not here about you coming into work today. I need to speak to you about something else more important. Do you have a few minutes to spare back in your office?”
“Sorry, I can’t do it. I
