Chapter 57
Brian noticed a look of concern cross Sasha's face. "I don't think this is coming out right so I will skip some of the minor details and get on with the plan." He said hoping what he said would reassure her that her job was not in jeopardy. "I want to move the office into the cottage behind the house. It is already wired for phones, it has a kitchen and a bathroom plus, its close to my office here in the house so I can spend more time with the kids when I am not touring. I did some checking around and found out it will be easy to network the house to the new office if we decide to move it here."
"So you want to move the office here to your estate? I think that is a great idea Brian! It will actually save you time and money since you will be here when the kids get home. You won't need to hire a nanny."
"I may still need a nanny." He said picking up his fork. He ate a few bites of food before continuing. "You wouldn't mind driving out here to work?" He asked. "It is not too far for you to come everyday?"
Sasha shook her head. "No. It is not too far. I think it might even be closer than where we currently are. It is just in the opposite direction."
Brian set his fork down again. He took a sip of champagne. "Good! I'm glad to hear I won't lose you if I move the office."
Sasha laughed. "You definitely won't loose me if you move the office here Brian!" She shook her head. "There for a minute I thought you were saying you didn't need me anymore since you aren't going to be home very much for awhile. Just wanting to move the office is a relief!"
"The last thing I want to do is lose you as my assistant Sasha!" He reached under the table and took her hand into his. He gave it a gentle squeeze. "You are very important to me Sasha. I don't want to lose you for any reason." He stated looking straight into her eyes.
Sasha felt her face flush. She withdrew her hand from Brian's and reached for her water glass. 'I think I have had too much champagne already.' She silently scolded herself as she took a big drink. "Thank you Brian." She replied biting her lip. "I really do enjoy working for you."
"And I enjoy having you work for me." He suddenly felt as if the clothes he had chosen for the evening were far too warm. He took a drink of water. 'Now on to business plan #2.' He thought setting the glass down.
