Ashley was quite mystified by the classless little hovel
Gordon had picked for their meeting. The
candle lit restaurant buzzed with conversation and the tinkling of silverware while
the pianist in the corner lost himself in his rendition of some classical piece
she couldn’t quite identify. She sipped from
the goblet and the spicy liqueur with hints of licorice and cherries teased her
tongue. She arched a brow when the idiot plopped down in the seat, reeking of
cheap musk and his cheap, off the rack suit, looked as if he had slept in it.
The elderly couple eating their dinner in the next booth had more class in
their wrinkly pinkies that he would ever have in a lifetime. He glanced around
before he drew an envelope out of his pocket and tossed it across the table. She frowned, fingered the much too slim,
slightly grimy, grey rectangle, then covered it with her napkin and slid it
into her purse. She sighed and wondered if she lost her mind as she signaled to
her driver at the bar to bring over the package.
