While Julianna was waking to find herself alone, Owen’s harried executive assistant was letting himself into the penthouse to retrieve a docket of paperwork the hungover CEO had forgotten that morning.
Renton had been up since 4 that morning fielding needy emails from his insomniac and often intoxicated boss. He’d then met Owen at the television studio to prep him for his live interview. He now found himself rushing into the penthouse to retrieve papers and catch the interview before he rushed back out to the office again. He needed to intercept Owen on his way back from the interview to hand over the papers for a meeting.
He sighed heavily over the sounds of the morning news program’s jingle that was somehow traveling through the silent home to meet him. He cocked his head and turned on his heel to follow the sounds coming from his boss’ bedroom.
“Next up after a quick break, in our Business Spotlight we’ll be talking to Tac Industries CEO, Mr. Owen Hart about the controversial new multi-billion dollar weapons deal he landed with the Pentagon. We’ll be right back.”
Was it the cleaning lady? She didn’t come on Wednesdays. Maybe Owen had left the TV on.
Ren pushed his way into the office and located the docket in question. He kept an ear tuned on the sounds of the commercials as he searched through what Owen insisted was “organized chaos.” Ren only knew Owen’s messes as pure chaos.
He then rushed into the bedroom, shoving open the door with his shoulder as he checked a notification on his phone.
There was another person in the room. Unthinkingly he greeted them as if they were already inside his train of thought. “Great you have this on. Give it a little volume would you?” He asked as his fingers tapped rapidly along the screen of his phone. Little clicking sounds accompanied the movement followed by a familiar swooshing sound of a message sent. Renton clicked the phone closed and it was at that moment he realized that the person in the room was a stranger.
A strange woman.
A naked woman.
In Owen’s bed.
Renton adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat, “Oh I - um, oh. Good morning, Miss - ? I wasn’t aware that ... Mr. Hart had a houseguest this morning.” His voice had that kind of syrupy quality developed in careers that involved serving others. Renton had only recently become aware that Owen and his wife were separated. Owen had a way of keeping secrets even from those closest to him.
Though he was curious about the strange naked woman, his attention was pulled to the interview. Introductions had been made and Owen had moved across a small stage to take his seat in a large chair next to the interviewer.
Renton frowned when he noticed his normally impeccable boss carrying a travel mug of coffee with him.
The interviewer immediately pointed out the mug. “Late night, Owen?” She asked gesturing with her pen.
Owen’s face contorted in mild confusion before he followed the direction of the pen with his eyes. Once he understood, he toasted the interviewer flashing a charming smile. “No rest for the wicked” He smiled again before sipping at his coffee.
The interviewer laughed politely and segued easily into her questioning. “I can imagine late nights are the norm for a man like you.”
Owen frowned over the rim of his mug, grey eyes shooting towards the interviewer with suspicion. His mind immediately went to the evening before. He was struck with a paranoia that his indiscretions were about to become subject to journalistic investigation. “‘Scuse me?” He asked uncertainly, he wiped one of his hands back and forth over his thigh. A nervous tic.
“I mean to say, in your industry the amount of success you’ve achieved at your age...do you have time to sleep?”
Understanding passed over Owen’s face again and he smiled though it didn’t touch the eyes. “I napped while the lady put powder on my nose, does that count?”
Renton pinched the skin of his nose and shook his head. “Oh my god. He’s a sleep deprived over-caffeinated giddy mess.” He glanced at the naked woman wrapped in expensive sheets as if she were to blame for Owen’s state.
And she kind of was.
