Chapter 67
Estrella turned to look at Jason and couldn’t help but laugh, “Well, aren’t you in the mood? Your wish is my command.”
But as soon as Jason finished his shower and stepped out of the bathroom, he found her back at the computer, poring over case files. She was still wearing her sultry nightgown, but her face showed no sign of desire.
Jason slowed his towel-drying and his expression darkened, “Playing lip service again, huh?” She had been teasing him at the bar earlier, only to lead him on.
Hearing his words, Estrella glanced over her shoulder, holding printed documents in hand, “I promise I’ll make it up to you tomorrow.”
Before Jason could respond, she continued, “This case is a bit complex. I won’t be able to sleep until I get a handle on it.”
Beneath her playful exterior, Estrella was a true workaholic.
Jason tossed the towel aside and ran a hand through his hair, his tone indifferent, “Estrella, you’re running low on credibility with me. Cut out the empty promises.”
Estrella set aside her work and stood up, wrapping her arms around his neck, “Are you upset?” He removed her hands without a word,

Again, Jason peeled her arms away, “I’m not as eager as you are. Go entertain yourself.”
Since Estrella didn’t have any such intentions, Jason didn’t have much interest either. After all, it was always Estrella who initiated things, spicing the mood between them.
After being pushed away again, Estrella called out with a feigned stern face, “Jason.”
Jason adjusted her slipping gown and spoke calmly, “Thought you had work to do. Get to
