I’d seen just how reserved Jared could be; his self–control was top–notch.

I got straight to the point. “Was it you?”

Jared sighed, sounding helpless. “Looks like someone beat me to it. But what makes you think those two buildings have anything to do with you?”

I replied, “I heard they’ve been named Admira Hall and Reminiscence Hall.”

“Who comes up with such poetic names?” Jared blinked, a little surprised.

I shook my head. “No idea. But with two letters from my name in there, I can’t help but wonder.”

Jared nodded. “So, someone really did donate those buildings because of you. Well, it might not be a fortune. but the thought behind it is priceless.”

I stared him down again. “If it wasn’t you, then who else would do it?”

Jared shot me a look. “Could it be that Nathan of yours?”

I chucked a pillow at him. “Cut it out.”

Jared’s tone turned sour. “I know you’ve had to stay at his place to look after him, but honestly… it still makes me uncomfortable. Just the two of you, alone, in the middle of the night…”

“Jared, cut it out,” I said seriously. “Nathan isn’t that kind of guy. He really respects me.”

Jared’s face froze, like I’d just called him out. He lowered his eyes and gave a bitter laugh. “Yeah, he’s the gentleman, and I’m worse than a beast.”

I was so exasperated I had to laugh. “Well, at least you’re self–aware.”
