Anna raised an eyebrow at Jett's reaction to her job being revealed. Something about the way he reacted to that had made Anna suspect that he wasn't expecting that. Just because Anna was a blonde and she didn't have glasses didn't mean that brain of hers was totally empty. She graduated had graduated summa cum laude from Northeastern with a Bachelor's. Blonde airheads who looked like her didn't have anywhere near the credentials that she did when it came to this. But, it helped keep up her deceptive facade. Anna loved looking like someone she absolutely wasn't. It was part of the reason why she was approached by so many men at the bar, thinking she was going to be an easy lay or a pushover. They were dead wrong, and many people fell into that trap.

However, she didn't have the intention of putting Jett into that trap. A man like him didn't deserve to be ensnared into the enigma that was known as Anastasia Ivanova. Gambits and trickery were her game when it came to these situations, but this man deserved to spared from it. He wasn't like any of the dumbasses she'd encountered in the past. This man was genuine, and just a breath of fresh air. No creepy attempts to get into her pants, no shitty pickup lines, no wingman trying to compensate for their chickenshit friend. Jett was pure, unadulterated confidence and swagger, and that was [i]such[/i] a turn-on for the Ukrainian. Anna hadn't encountered anyone like him, and the more time that she spent with him, the more that she liked what she saw. 

But, that didn't mean that Jett could play Anna's game. She knew exactly what he was trying to do with that deflection and redirection. "You know exactly what I mean." Anna smiled, before finishing off her drink, "A man like you has gotta be tied down by somebody, right?" There was no chance in hell that this man was single. How could this piece of concentrated swagger [i]not[/i] have a girl (or man) by his side? But, she still wanted to ask. Maybe this was something she could pursue -- or something she should dump like a hot potato. Strangely enough, this question would probably be one of the most influential and pivotal questions of the whole experience, and it hadn't been even been more than a few hours.

Anna herself was obviously single, of course. She had a few relationships here and there, so she wasn't too inexperienced in that department. But she [i]knew[/i] what she wanted. She didn't fall into the trap of falling for the first man that so much as gave her the slightest sliver of attention. That was the reason why very few ever conquered the mountain that was dating Anastasia Ivanova, and even fewer lasted longer at the top. But, Jett might have been someone she was interested in pursuing -- but she wasn't sure if she wanted to play hard to get or go after him. She liked seeing what this man had in store, whatever tricks he had up his sleeve. He was different, to say the least.

"Not even a fling?"
