-Rabena’s POV:
“Well, you can’t go looking like any old thing! You have to wear something that says, ‘yes I’m sexy as hell, but I’m also a boss bitch!‘ Make a bold statement!”
I rolled my eyes as Pera continued, she was blowing this way out of proportion.
“Pera I don’t think it’s going to be all of that. It really is just a meeting.”
“If you say so but still look the part. You’re the President of Priceland Tech. He should know he’s speaking with another boss!”
I had to agree with Pera on that, I’d heard he could be very intimidating. I didn’t want Aaron thinking I could be intimidated. I decided to leave work a little early, I’d have to do some shopping. As I finished up buying my dress and accessories for tonight’s dinner, my assistance Della called me with the location details. After hearing where we would have dinner, I was completely shocked.
“He booked us at the Sundial!”
The Sundial was one of the most exquisite restaurants in all of Covington. This seemed to be an awful lot for a business dinner!
“Yes ma’am, shall I accompany you to the meeting?”
“Yes, just in case if there are any documents that will need to be signed or discussed.‘

The truth was I didn’t want to be by myself when I met with him. For some reason I felt like I was walking into a lion’s den.
“Very well, I’ll inform his assistant to also add me to the reservation list.”
“Thank you Della.”

After confirming all the details, I headed home to prepare for tonight, I wasn’t sure why, but I instantly had butterflies in my stomach. Once home, I informed every one of my dinner meetings. For some reason, neither Sean nor my uncle seemed surprised.
“So, he finally reached out to you huh?”
Finally? What did Sean mean by that? Before I could ask, Uncle Peter chimed in.
“Well, I think this is good idea, after all, our families have been close for years, Give Aaron our regards.”

I nodded to Uncle Pete with a puzzled look on my face, had they known something I didn’t? Caroline helped me get dressed and do my hair and makeup, even I had to admit I looked damned good! As I made my way outside to my car, a limo suddenly pulled slowly to the front of the door. The chauffeur stepped out holding a bouquet of tulips, my favorite flower. The chauffeur walked up to me with a bright smile.
“President Price?”
“Yes, that’s me.”
“Then these are for you ma’am. My name is Keith, please, allow me to escort you to the limo.”
Puzzled, I nervously took the driver’s arm and made my way to the limo. Anxious, I turned back to see my family all smiling as I made my way inside the car. What were they so happy about? The car ride was silent but nice as we made our way to the restaurant. Upon arrival, Keith opened my door and escorted me to the front of the restaurant, there, I greeted by a hostess.
“Good evening, President Price I presume?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
*Excellent! My name is Jana, I’ll be your hostess for this evening. Please, allow me to take you to your section.”
I followed Jana through the restaurant, as I approached the private section it dawned on me that no one else was here. Where were all the
customers? Puzzled, I called to Jana

“Um, Ms. Jana, is the Sundial usually closed on Thursdays?”
Jana turned to me with a bright smile on her face.
“Oh no, in fact it’s one of our busier nights, Mr. Michaels brought out the restaurant for the evening.”
WHHHAAATTT!!!!!!!!!
As we made our way to the table I began to look around for Della, I’d told her to arrive first so that way if I were a little late I would have to wait for her. As I scanned the section my eyes finally met with Aaron’s. I could feel my breath instantly cut; he was gorgeous. As he stood, I could tell he was every bit of 6’4 in height. The suit he wore was clearly tailored made. A navy–blue pinstripe double breasted, with a cream–colored silk button shirt and navy tie. Embodying every bit of the term “talk dark and handsome“, he simply perfect. He walked directly up to me and could feel the heat rising to my ears. Taking my hand into his, he planted a gentle kiss on the back of my palm.
“It’s a pleasure to see you again Ms. Price.”
Blushing, I tried hard not to stutter over my words.
“You as well Mr. Michaels.”
