The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 19

Chapter 0019 I I assure you my relationship with Ethan is over .

Im only interested in my job as Matts tutor .

I thrive on professionalism , and I promise to remain ethnically loyal , I told him , well aware that I was rambling , but I couldnt help myself .

He intimidated me .

He stared at me for a heartbeat , making me even more nervous .

Rest assured that no lines will ever be crossed , 1 added .

istone And what about me ? He asked ; he didnt sound condescending .

He had more of a boyish curiosity in his and his gaze was almost soft .

My heart skipped a beat , and felt my cheeks heating .

No lines will ever be crossed with you as well , I promised him sincerely .

Gavin was silent for a moment as he assessed me and then he gave me a short nod I hope you can remember to honor that , he said , almost daring I was about to reply , but the waitress returned with our wine .

Gavin then switched the subject to my schedule , and we agreed upon a schedule that worked for us both .

Then , he took out the contract and placed it on the table .

He stated that the contract was just a formality about employment and salary .

Its also stated that you arent to tell anyone who you work for , he continued .

Its for safety .

Yours and mine .

I make all my staff agree to the same terms .

I nodded ; it made sense , so I didnt argue .

He handed me a pen and after I looked over the contract , I filled in my basic information and signed each line he pointed at Soon after , the waitress returned with our food .

This looks delicious , I said before taking my first bite of the delicious salad .

Gavin got a rare steak with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies .

We both ate in silence and gradually sipped on our wine .

When I was just about done , I could feel the wine had gone right through me .

I need to use the restroom , I told him as I slid out of the booth .

Ill be back .

He nodded and I took off towards the bathroom , walking by a stunning woman with auburn hair and the most dazzling green eyes I had ever seen .

As I walked by her , she brushed her shoulder against mine , making me pause .

I briefly wondered if she did that on purpose ; she didnt even apologize ! 1 brushed the thought out of my head though and quickly went to the bathroom .

When I returned , I noticed that Gavin was now standing , and his arms were folded across his chest .

He was speaking to the woman who bumped me a few minutes ago .

She looked upset with him and when I approached , I heard her words clearly .
