You’re being too sensitive,” I replied resignedly. “sit because Ivan will be there?” He narrowed his eyes, and his eyebrows knitted together. Whenever he had this expression on his face, it meant that his mood was rapidly getting worse. My head was starting to hurt. What was he talking about? So what if Evan was going? “What are you trying to say, Rowan? Just tell me. When have we ever beaten around the bush with each other?” I tapped on my face mask to help it adhere to my face. Then, I took out a massaging device to improve absorption, **You can do as you please with other men, but it can’t be someone I’m close to Rowan’s demeanor was cold and his voice grew deeper. “I’ve told you that—or have you forgotten so soon?! 1 was frustrated and speechless. “Who told you that I’m involved with hwan? He stared at me without a response. “Was It Chester?” I took a guess. He already had his suspicions when I asked Ivan to get me some intimate products. On top of that, Chester must’ve told him about the incident at Willow Garden. Rowan had always been an emotionally reserved man. Anything remotely out–of–the–ordinary would’ve caught his attention. Despite being relatively young, he was just as cunning as the veterans in the business world. In fact, he might even be a better businessmanthan most of them Previously, aside from our appearances and our names, Ivan and I knew nothing about each other “Explain” He straightened himself and casually placed his hands in his pockets. Then, he stared down at me condescendingly. “What is there to explain? We barely know each other. ” I couldn’t care to offer him an explanation. “How does he have your number then?” He was very displeased with my dismissive attitude. A glint of fury flashed across his handsome face, “Don’t test my patience, Ivory!” he snapped I was taken aback by his abrupt outburst. I lifted my head and stared at him. “Are you trying to pick a fight, Rowan? Let me make this clear–Ivan was the one who contacted me first. Why don’t you go ask him instead?” I for it before, but he never gave it to me. He was the one who sent me the photo with Benjamin. If not, I wouldn’t even have his number in the first place.

I wasn’t planning on saying anything until his relationship with Ashley had improved further. “Rowan!” I yelled after him. Then, I took off my face mask and rushed over to take his phone from him. “How could you do this? Why would I sleep with you if was involved with Ivan?” He seemed to be stunned speechless by my response. As his arm was lifted upward, I couldn’t manage to reach his phone at all. “What’s stopping you from sleeping with both of us at the same time?” he spat emotionlessly. “Who knows what happened while I was away on my business trip. ” Despite being relatively open–minded about sexual relationships, I couldn’t stand his tale accusations.

Then, he t After he ended the call, I felt relieved. Then, I climbed under the blankets on my bed. I didn’t want to talk to him. He remained silent. I heard him walk toward the bathroom before the sound of running water followed shortly after. He couldn’t be thinking of spending the right here. My head was all over the place. If I were being honest, I didn’t want to share a bed with him. It could complicate things, and i was afraid it would wealm my resolve.

His gaze was unreadable. ” “What are you trying to say?” “Nothing. I just overheard your conversation with your friends the other day. I only wanted to know if you’re serious about this girl, or is she like the women you’ve been with?” I asked inquisitively. I’ve already made peace with the matter. “She’s different. ” His answer was brief, but it felt genuine. I paused as his gaze softened. He was probably thinking of Ashley. “Doesn’t she have a boyfriend, though? I followed up with another question. His expression immediately soured. “Not if they breakup. ” He scoffed. How uncouth.
