“ I see. Summer job. hoping it can become a permanent job? I mean, school does cost money, plus it seems like you enjoy the views it offers” He told her, observing the way she looked when spoke about Tywin Lannister.
Tywin Lannister. It had been fun, the flirting, the gifts. Harmless fun, really. But the million dollar harbourfront condo? Meryll swallowed, remembering how Mr. Lannister had insisted that she take it. No strings attached, he had said.
But since then, everything had felt different. What she had once seen as a gentleman’s charm, now seemed sinister .. creepy, even.
“The view? The corner office is pretty great, yes, but honestly, I can’t wait to go back to school. Let’s just say .. this job, it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be.”
“Really?” He asked, leaning in to her, interested in what seemed like a shift from when he had first met her. “Well, if you ever want a job at Starks place….I know a guy” He winked, trying to joke with her. “We’re expanding into fashion and the like as well. But, ah, what are you going to study in school?” He asked before he finished off his drink.
