“Do you know the pizza shop on the corner of Lexington and Concord?” came the question that stopped Jamie in her tracks.
“Yes,” she lied, but that was neither here nor there since she was pretty sure that she could find it.
“They have a pizza called The Beast. They also have the best steak fries in the city. Grab lunch and come here tomorrow at eleven and we’ll finish this interview,” Sebastian said, making her smile until he added, “But I have a few rules that we need to go over first.”
“Rules?”
“Mmmhmm, rules. If you want to continue with this interview, I’m going to need you to promise that you won’t Google my name or anything about my company. That includes asking around about me. If you do, the deal’s off,” he said, making her frown in confusion.
“Wait. How will you know if I keep my word?” Jamie found herself wondering.
“I’ll know,” he said, and for some reason, she believed him.
Unable to help but smile, Jamie nodded as she headed for the door.
“See you tomorrow, Jamie,” Sebastian said as she let herself out even as she couldn’t help but wonder if this counted as an interview. Probably not, but even knowing that wasn’t going to stop her from coming back tomorrow and finding out how this story ended.
