Chapter 4

Steffy wasn’t looking forward to going into work. She knew that Carol would grill her on the yacht party Prince Jordan invited her to.

Steffy wasn’t into dating ever since she broke up with her ex-boyfriend, Quentin Smith. Quentin was relentless and refused to believe their relationship was over. If she began dating, Quentin would have a fit and she feared Quentin would do whatever it took to sabotage any relationship she entered into.

Steffy entered her office building and went up to the 9^th floor where her office was. As usual, Carol was there waiting for her.

“Hey, Steffy, how did it go with the Prince?” Carol asked as soon as she saw her come in.

“It went great.” Steffy said, praying that Carol would leave it there, but as usual she wanted to hear all about how things went in the meeting with the Prince Jordan.

“So, did he ask you on a date?”

“He invited me to a party on his family’s yacht.” Steffy replied as she got her desk ready for the day.

“Is that all?”

“No, it turned out to be a date after all,” Steffy explained, “there was no family on the yacht at all. It was just the two of us.”

“So, it was a date?”

“It looked that way,” Steffy groaned when she noticed her ex-boyfriend Quentin.

 “Hey, Steffy, how’s it going?” Quentin said.

“How’d you get in here?” Steffy said, “I have a restraining order barring you from coming anywhere near me.”

“I just came bearing gifts,” Quentin said, handing her flowers and candy.

“Gee, thanks, Quentin,” Steffy said, “You do know that we’re no longer dating.”

“Well, I can try to woo you back?”

“You can try all you want, Quentin, but your efforts will always go unwanted.” Steffy said turning back to her work.

“Well, I am desperate for a date tonight and thought you might want to go.”

“Sorry, but I have a date tonight.”

“I know you don’t?” Quentin eyed her.

“And how would you know?”

“Because I followed the limo that picked you up last night.”

“You stalked me?”

“Well, who else is going to look after you?” Quentin said, “So is a date or not?”
