who was wearing sunglasses and had her shoes off, was basking under the

Courtney couldn’t resist calling Seth after having just accomplished

Courtney clicked her tongue as she was displeased with the unexpected

“Have you ever seen any decent person care about a past affair?” Seth

sneered and said in a disdainful tone.

Courtney straightened her posture as she kicked the chair next to her. “She

brought Xavier’s son along. They even ordered a bottle of good wine.”

She sounded proud as she continued, “I sent her the wine you left last time.

Can you guess if she can tell?”

Seth paused.

She grinned, thinking she had finally struck a chord with him. So, she couldn’t

resist taunting him.

Suddenly, he spoke, “If you really have nothing to do, just find a class to

attend. At least you’ll be doing something productive with your time.”
