“Yeah, I did. You’re thinking of Jake Gyllenhaal. I noticed the resemblance between them the first time I saw him.”
“Please close your eyes. I’m going to apply your eye shadow.” Rachel carefully swiped the makeup brush over Kate’s eyelids and then blended the colors. “Okay, you can open your eyes. I have eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick left.” Rachel continued working and Kate stayed quiet. It was a little unnerving having someone putting mascara on her eyelashes. She was afraid of being poked in the eye.
Within minutes, Rachel was done and Kate looked like a glamorous movie star. “Wow, Rachel!” she said. “You’re a great artist. I love how you did my eyes.”
“Thanks. Making beautiful women like you shine just a little bit more is what I do best. Now go get the next note from Roberto. I’m sure Neil’s waiting anxiously for you.”
Kate gave Rachel a quick hug and hurried to find Roberto. He saw her coming and he removed the next note from Neil from his pocket. Kate opened it with haste, hoping this note told her where to meet the man that made her heart flutter.
My Darling Kate,
I trust you’ve had a glorious day. Please meet me at The Grand Del Mar, suite 228. I’m waiting with bated breath.
All Yours,
Neil
CHAPTER
TWENTY-ONE
Kate
Kate thanked Roberto again for everything. He kissed her hand and said goodbye. She rushed out of the salon. All she had to do now was put on her attire for the evening. It occurred to her as she was making her way to the car that she could get dressed at the salon. She glanced out toward where Porter had parked and assumed he’d be out of the car by now. He was always so prompt and she’d never waited one time for him to open her car door. Then she realized he was still sitting there, not moving, and this unusual behavior put her senses on high alert. Her breathing became shallow and her scalp began to prickle knowing something was terribly wrong. As she began to turn around to go back into the salon, she walked right into Roger, who’d been closing in behind her. Her eyes widened and she gasped as he grabbed a hold of her wrist.
“Roger…”
