She tried to recall. "I slept..."

"Slept?" he interrupted her again. "With that idiot, Ivan Brown?"

"No, it’s not like that," she retorted hastily, leaning back slightly to distance herself from his cold glare. She had no reason to feel this way, but she couldn’t help it—being intimidated by him felt like a basic instinct.

"I slept... I mean, alone..."

She gritted her teeth. "I told you, I was sick, and he was busy. Any man would—"

"I wouldn’t," he interrupted, his gaze piercing into hers. "I wouldn’t leave you alone when you’re sick, even if it meant my company going bankrupt."
