The New Billionaire Boss
-- EXCERPT: Aiden I stared at the woman standing outside of the Uber. She looked pissed. But I needed to get to our West Coast corporate retreat. She opened my door, which took me by surprise. Did she have some type of mental imbalance, or was she on drugs? She opened her mouth to speak, but her phone beeped. She looked down at her phone and then turned to the driver. “You canceled my ride!” The driver shrugged. “He offered me $100.” She stomped her foot on the ground and threw up her hands. “You’d already started the meter!” Damn. I thought she was just keeping the man waiting. I didn’t know she was paying him to wait. That meant I was the asshole here. I sighed. Time to turn on the charm. I stared directly into her green eyes. “Please forgive me.” I saw her lips part just a little. Yup, she wanted me. I shot her a flirty smile, reached into my wallet, and pulled out a $100 bill. “Take this, for what was already on the meter, and get yourself breakfast on me.” She didn’t reach for the money. “I don’t need your money. I need this car. So get the hell out.” Seriously? Judging from her big box store athletic wear, which I had to admit hugged her figure well, I couldn’t believe she didn’t need, or at least want, the money. “Listen, lady, I’ll come back for you,” the Uber driver said. Her head snapped to face the driver. “I’ll deal with you in a minute.” I wanted to be contrite, even though I really didn’t have the patience for this. “Get in the car, and I’ll pay him to take you wherever you want to go after I’m done.” She folded her arms across her chest. “How about you go wherever you’re going after I’m done?” “I don’t have time for this.” Yes, I was in the wrong, but the driver wanted my business more than hers. Just as I was about to lean forward to tell the driver to leave, she swung the door open wide. I stared at her. “What do you think you’re doing?” She tried to push her way into the backseat. “I don’t have time for this either!” I refused to budge. She attempted to push me across the seat with her little body, and when she didn’t succeed, she opted to climb over me. Her butt grazed my lap as she took the place next to me in the backseat. The move was insane, but it turned me on. I am a dude, after all. Her long, light brown ponytail swayed back and forth as she panted from the effort of forcing her way into the backseat with me. If I wasn’t in such a hurry, I’d think she was kind of cute. Not my regular type and possibly insane, but definitely cute. “Take me to the Malibu Retreat Center,” she instructed the driver. “The one just up the hill?” the driver asked her. She refused to even look in my direction. “Yes, it’ll only take five minutes. Then you can take him to his Assholes Anonymous meeting or wherever he’s going.” I couldn’t help but smile. She worked for my father’s company. Wouldn’t little Miss Angry Pants be so surprised!
