Joseph’s face twitched when struck with the truth.

Maggie snickered softly. “Does it matter if it happened once or a few times? Either way, it won’t be you.”

Joseph’s expression flickered weirdly. Maggie didn’t bother with more talk, just strutted away without a second glance, her heels clicking.

Though not exceedingly extravagant or rare, they were surely out of Vanessa’s financial league.

Why play both sides?

As Maggie left, it was already six in the evening.

She skipped Joseph’s ride and hailed a taxi straight to the hotel booked by Nathael.

The journey, which usually took a little over an hour, suddenly felt endless. Despite the city being bathed
