does it look?” Marco asked.

      “The numbers seem high at first glance. I’ll have to compare them to the final estimates from the other hotels.”

      “I’ll call Donati and see if he can do better.”

      “No!”

      Her sharp negative drew a surprised glance.

      “Thanks,” Sabrina said, tempering her tone, “but I prefer to handle these negotiations myself.”

      “My apologies. I merely wished to help.”

      She winced at the ice-coated reply. When he wanted to, the doc could wield one hell of a scalpel.

      “Now it’s my turn to apologize. It’s just…”

      She paused, chewing on her lower lip. The stubborn need to assert her independence had driven her for so long. She couldn’t shake it, even now.

      “My father doesn’t believe I can make it on my own,” she said finally. “I’m determined to prove him wrong.”

      “I see.” Marco thought about that for a moment. “This is the father who taught you to play chess?”

      “One and the same.”

      “He underestimates your killer instinct. I have your measure now, however. You won’t win this evening as easily as you did this morning.”

      She couldn’t resist the challenge. “Maybe we should up the stakes.”

      “Maybe we should. What do you suggest?”

      Laughing, she waggled her brows. “Ever play strip chess?”

      She was kidding. Mostly. And completely unprepared when Marco dug into his jacket pocket.

      One handed, he flipped up his cell phone and punched a speed-dial button. His conversation was in Italian, but Sabrina caught enough to experience a sudden shortness of breath.

      “The meeting took longer than anticipated,” he informed his housekeeper. “There’s no need for you to wait for our return.”

      He listened a moment and nodded.

      “That will be fine. Thank you. I’ll see you tomorrow. Ciao.”

      The phone went back into his jacket pocket. The slow, predatory smile he gave Sabrina told her the night ahead could prove extremely interesting!

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
