Emily watched their reactions as much as she listened, andit was Enzo's reaction she didn't expect. He seemed to disappear. She had obviously turned his head and caught him off guard. She smiled, and then blushed at his compliment. "Thank you, monsieur."
She took the card from Mr. White. It was nice to get a real business card - a good personal touch that wasn't often seen anymore. It was the reason Emily used them as well. Unfortunately, her cards were with her clothes in the fitting rooms. She held onto the card with nowhere to put it. She could do the whole slip it in the dress thing, but that wouldn't be proper.
It was strange because Emily felt comfortable with him. Moreso than anyone other man she recalled - besides her staff. She felt safe with him. She wondered at that. Maybe he would walk her home amd they could get to know each other and if she felt okay...maybe a hug. She knew that she would have to face that fear of contact with men sometime and she wanted to. She didn't have Ayden here though. Ayden had good instincts and Emily would have liked her assessment.
Emily's inner self shook her head. She was a big girl and could make this decision alone. Besides, Ayden had also taught Emily to stand up for herself. If he tried anything, she could protect herself. She didn't feel like she needed to though. Something in her gut said this was okay. That Enzo was a good and honorable man.
"Thank you gentlemen, for the compliments. I think I've made my choice."
She turned her eyes to Enzo, wondering if eh should tell him about her demons. Ayden said she could get over this, but she didn't want to lead him on. They were friends - at least she hoped so. She met his eyes. "Enzo, when you are done, would you walk me back to my hotel. Id feel safer if you did.
She was surprised at the straight forwardness of her question caught herself off guard and she wasn't sure why she suddenly felt so nervous.
