Rich Rules

"I'd love to, but it's against our policy to go out with clients. How about I give you a call once I'm done with work?" she suggested in a hushed tone, clearly well-versed in this kind of situation. This was not her first rodeo at all. 

"Sure," I replied.

It was evident that she had taken an interest in me, so I didn't have to fret about being ghosted. I mean, it would make me appear like a complete loser after all the effort I had put into looking good and wealthy. 

"By the way, we've been talking so much that I forgot to ask your name," I chuckled, even though I already knew her name. 

"I'm really sorry for forgetting, my name is Elaine" she giggled, attempting to ease the awkwardness with a laugh. 

Observing her, I realized that this woman was not easy to read. I could sense that she was very calculating. 

"You're so cute that I actually forgot to tell you my name," she added with a seductive smile.
