Chapter 26

I anxiously replayed my conversation with Evan. He’d said, “Go home and sleep,” and I’d replied, “Me too,” so… so what?! How am I supposed to respond to that?!

The glamorous woman who’d dominated the ballroom moments ago now had wide, innocent fox eyes, bewildered and hesitant like a child stumped by a question; her gentle demeanor was both pure and seductive, capable of arousing a man from head to toe…

Evan looked away. Seeing he wasn’t pursuing the matter, I lowered my head. The conversation ended abruptly. The elevator reached my floor; I politely said goodbye. “Good night, Mr. Jones. Sleep well.”

He gave a noncommittal hum. I stepped out, watching the elevator doors close. Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, a long finger slipped through the crack; the doors reopened.

“I’ve tried on the suit,” he said calmly.

Ah, that… I smiled.“Did it fit?”

“Not quite. The shoulders are too narrow; the trousers are too short.”

He didn’t respond to my suggestion, merely gazing at me with his deep eyes, his expression unreadable. The elevator doors slowly closed.

by the elevator, my mind was still reeling. What did that mean? Good or bad? Couldn’t he give a clear answer? This guessing game was exhausting; that’s why I’d left so quickly;
