Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 490

Nita sidled up to Vinson Elliott and leaned against him, her voice soft and pleading. "Boss, I didn't mean to."

She rose on tiptoe, drawing close to whisper in his ear. As she spoke, her breath -warm and damp-brushed his skin, sending a shiver down his spine. Instinctively, Vinson pushed her away. "Nita, do you even know who I am?!"

Just moments ago, she'd been flirting with Maurice, and now here she was, getting cozy with him? Vinson couldn't help but think she was acting cheap.

Caught off guard by his sudden shove, Nita nearly stumbled, but Maurice was quick, catching her before she could fall.

"You okay?"

Resting in Maurice's arms, Nita shook her head. "I'm fine. Really, I'm okay."

Maurice nodded, then shot Vinson a sharp look, his eyes darkening. "What kind of man lays a hand on a woman? Have you no shame?"

Vinson stared back, looking genuinely bewildered, a slight frown creasing his brow. "When did I ever lay a hand on her?"
