Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call

Chapter 173

Megan’s smile faded as she turned her face away. Just then, the little dog licked her neck, tickling her and making her squirm.

In trying to escape, she found herself accidentally nestled into Sullivan’s neck, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry, “Sullivan, could you take it away, please?”

Sullivan scooped up the little dog but didn’t let go of Megan. He pressed against her, his deep gaze filled with a barely contained intensity. He leaned in close to her ear and asked softly, “Can wo?”

Megan’s checks flushed a deep red, her voice trembling. “No”

Sullivan held her close for a moment longer, waiting for her to calm down before finally letting her go. As he straightened his shirt and trousers, he mentioned, “I’ve got a big meeting this morning! I come see you tonight.”

“I’m busy tonight, Megan replied quickly.

Sullivan chuckled lightly, asking casually, “Got a date? With Begonin?”

Megan felt no need to explain herself, but she still said, “It’s an investor Mrs. Lambert introduced me to! Mrs. Lambert says capable. We’ve arranged to meet tonight to discuss things further.”
