The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 426

“What’s the other alternative?” I found myself asking before he could leave fully.

Taylor paused, but he didn’t turn around to look at me, he spoke with his back facing me.

“Take her out,” Taylor suggested with a shrug. “Go on a real date with her and figure out how you feel.”

Without another word, Taylor walked out of my office, leaving me staring at the empty space he once occupied. I ran my fingers through my hair and took a deep breath.

Go on a date with her?

Is that something I could actually do?

Would she even want to go on a date with me?

Before I could talk myself out of it, I pressed the intercom button for my

receptionist on the bottom floor.

“Veronica, I need some date ideas. I expect a full report by the end of the day,” I spoke into the intercom.

After a moment of crackling silence, she finally replied.noveldrama

“Right away sir, but is there any particular reason why? Who are we planning this date for because that’s important? Both parties have to enjoy the outing in order for it to be successful,” she replied.

I sighed and I knew there was no getting out of this; I had to tell her a little bit more information.

“Judy Montague,” I said into the intercom. “Find out what she likes and plan out her perfect date. I want reservations and plans to be settled by the end of the day.”

“When would you like this date to be?” She asked.

“Friday.”

There was another pause.

“That’s tomorrow,” she reminded me. “That’s very short notice for a date.”

“I didn’t ask for your opinion; I gave you enough information. Do as you’re told,” I ordered.

“Yes, Alpha,” she replied softly.

I ended the intercom conversation and turned back to my computer, trying to refocus my attention on my task at hand, yet failing miserably.

By the end of the day, as the sun was setting, Veronica appeared in my office.

“You may leave now,” I say dismissively, waving her away. “I have things to do.”

I stood, waiting for her to leave first. Once she was out of sight, I packed up my things and quickly hurried out of the office.

Judy was still in the Villa when I arrived. It was only 8 pm and I knew her session with Matt wouldn’t take much longer.

I paced outside the parlor doors, waiting for her to emerge, not wanting to sound desperate or in any way pathetic.

I heard their talking dying down and Matt’s typical yawn, indicating that he was exhausted. After a moment, Matt emerged from the parlor and frowned up at me.

“Oh, hi, Dad. I was just going to bed,” he told me, heaping another large yawn. I rubbed his head.

“Get some rest, buddy. I’ll see you in the morning,” I assured him.

He nodded, a pleased smile on his face as he headed towards the stairs. Judy was frowning at me as she leaned against the doorway, staring at me. “Everything okay?” She asked. “You seem on edge.,” she pointed out.

I nodded, suddenly feeling nervous but I quickly brushed the feeling away; I had

to think of this as a business offer and not like I was asking someone on a date. “Tomorrow night, be ready at 5 pm. I’m picking you up. We are going on a date.” I didn’t stick around for her answer, I turned and stormed away.
