Dwayne Forrester felt a little taken aback. It wasn't often that he had been passed off to an assistant whenever he made an inquiry into a business. After all, he was the CEO and primary owner of his own hotel chain. He was about to say something heated when he remembered what he had seen out there on the runway. The bold, dramatic designs that he had seen were just the sort of eye he wanted to design the new uniforms for his male staff. He hadn't even intended to stop by, he was just wasting some time before another business meeting, but he'd heard of EW in a local trade magazine and wanted to check out what the hubub was about. He wasn't disappointed. EW was a star on the rise.
It was something he himself could relate to. Since purchasing his hotels, he had done everything he could to break them from the stolid, boring traditions his father and grandfather had run them in. The Forrester Caribbean chain was still making that turn around, but they were making progress. Also, he hadn't told the woman who he was, after all. He could have been anyone off the street. Although he doubted few people off the street wore handmade suits for street wear.
"Well, I understand," he said, putting on his best business smile as he reached into the jacket of his H. Huntsman suit and pulled out a slim card case.
"However, I would really appreciate the opportunity to discuss this with Miss Williams herself. Here's my card with my cell phone number on it. If she wishes, she can also get a hold of me at the Grange City Hotel."
Tina looked up, surprised. "Grange City? That's where Miss Williams is staying as well. I will pass along the information Mr..... Forrester?"
Dwayne could see the recognition dawn in the assistant's eyes, and prepared himself for the onslaught of questions. Being the youngest child of the Forrester family and only male, he had grown up most of his life with people knowing who he was even before he knew their names. It tired him out. The assumptions people made because of his last name and the fact that he had spent quite a few years in his early twenties making the gossip columns in various magazines were petty and often a pain in the ass to deal with.
Even today, at thirty one, people still saw the drunken partying bad boy who had once been caught nude in the back of a limo with the famous daughter of another hotel family. He was honestly tired of it.
"Yes, my name is Dwayne Forrester. Now, if you will excuse me, I must be off to meet with the tourism board. If you could please have Miss Williams contact me, I'd appreciate it. I'll be in London for the next five days."
"Oh, of course," Tina replied, shutting her mouth. She may have been flirtatious, and she was definitely too loose with her mouth when she was around Erica. That said, she had sense enough to know when to keep her mouth shut outside of those areas, and she could tell Dwayne didn't want her to ask any of the questions that were running through her mind right now, including Can you please take me with you and ravish me like you did to that Chinese ambassador's daughter? And, can I cruise the Caribbean with you like Julian Castelbon? I'll be your cabin girl any time. She could feel a blush rise to her cheeks, and she coughed to cover herself.
"Right, Mr. Forrester. I will pass this along to Erica right away. I'm sure that once I explain the situation again, she'll be happy to meet with you to discuss your ideas."
"Thank you. Now, I really must be going," Dwayne said, turning and heading out of the hall. While it was true he had a meeting with the tourism board to promote his hotel in the British Virgin Islands, the meetings wasn't for another two hours. However, he wasn't in the mood to answer questions from silly sycophants who alternatively fawned over him and gossiped about him at every turn. He'd spent the past five years doing everything he could to fight his way out of that shadow, and the thumb his father kept trying to keep him under, both to only limited success. But he was in command of his life now, and he was going to keep it that way.
