before she stopped herself. She wasn't going to let herself get carried away and think that he wanted some kind of relationship with her. Men weren't like that, especially multimillionaires like Sadiq.
No. He was probably just feeling bad about how things ended last night.
"How is everything? How's your father?" she ventured.
"He's fine, but things could be better." She heard his tired sigh and wished she knew what to say. It must be hard being so far away from his father at a time like this.
"I have to leave for Atal tonight. Even though my father is all right, there is concern about his successorship if something happens. The older generations what some kind of guarantee that I will run if there's a surprise election."
Jenny frowned. He had already told her that he wasn't interested in politics and yet, he was using it as an excuse to get rid of her. If he didn't want to see her again, he shouldn't have even bothered to call.
"I understand," she bit out bitterly. She wouldn't give him a hard time. Doing so would've just wasted her time and his. And besides, he was making it easier for her to forget him. Knowing that he was a two-faced liar definitely cleared all her notions of him being some kind of gentleman.
"Your family will need you in these hard times," she added wryly.
"Yes." After a brief pause, he shocked her. "Would you like to join me?"
He really was going to Atal? Guilt coursed through her for doubting him before she realized what he'd said.
He wanted to bring her?
"Wait. You're serious?"
He laughed. "Of course. I enjoyed our dinner last night and want to get to know you better."
Or rather, your body.
She heard the unspoken words and shivered at the thought of them getting to know each other intimately. His hot mouth tasting every inch of her skin, her hands glorifying his wonderful taut body... She bit her lip. Sadiq was going to be her downfall.
She could already see how things would end up, how sad she would be when things ended.
But what if she was wrong? For all she knew, Sadiq might have some traits that would turn her off.
She rolled her eyes at the thought. She wouldn't tire of him. Just seeing him smile sent butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
"Atal is very beautiful this time of year. I'm sure the beaches will be a nice setting for your photographs."
Pleased that he had actually remembered something that she had said last night and even more pleased that he would try to coax her into joining him, she couldn't help but smile. He was making it sound as if she was the catch instead of him.
Excited, she thought about the offer. She had already taken all the pictures that were needed for next month's issue and if the magazine needed anything, they could always use those stock photos they seemed so fond of. And she would be back in the office to work on the February issue without missing a beat...
But she barely knew the guy.
Her mind boggled at thought. Yes, he made her feel things that no one had ever done before and could make her whole body quiver with just one look, but she'd known him for less than a day!
This was crazy.
Before yesterday, she would've never imagined having a one night stand, let alone jumping on a plane with someone she'd just meet. But there was something about Sadiq that was making her rethink a lot of things. It was as if the rules didn't apply to him.
Her eyes drifted back to her computer screen where she saw a picture of him sitting behind his desk. There was no way she could say no to him .
"Sure, I'd love to."
She heard his smile at the other end and knew that her mind was playing tricks with her again. You couldn't hear smiles.
"I am glad to hear that. I will pick you up at your apartment at six."
Jenny grinned as she hung up. She was actually going to have another chance with Sadiq!
And not only that, she was going to Atal!
Excitement spread through her as she opened up an email to tell her boss. She knew that he'd be happy at the news. He'd
