Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 27

“I can drive myself, you know,” I said as I adjusted the air conditioning in the front seat. I suppressed a yawn as Damon drove through the seemingly endless desert just outside the city.

“My car’s nicer,” Damon smirked, without taking his eyes off the road.

I had to give him that. His car was much nicer than mine.

I leaned back in the leather seats, enjoying the automatic heated seats on a crisp morning. I didn’t know how my grandmother did it, but just the morning after she’d warned us about the cold, the temperature had begun to drop.

“Plus, I need to check on Cassidy’s improvements,” Damon said firmly. “Check that everything is alright.”

“It was alright before,” I crossed my arms, still not happy he’d spent so much money to upgrade the set. I was sure it was amazing, but I felt like I owed him more and more. Though, I was happy with what Cassidy had done with the set.

“It would’ve collapsed on top of the actors,” Damon said and glanced at me, pointedly. “Then you’d be paying for lawyers.”

“Point taken,” I said with a sigh.

“But still,” I added, stubbornly. “I’ll pay you back once the movie comes

out.”

“No need,” Damon chuckled. “It was pocket money.”

“Of course, it was,” I sighed, rolling my eyes and looking out my window, not wanting to meet his gaze.

Even if I had been born into a rich family, my father made sure I never had the lavish lifestyle that Corinna had. Fancy dresses and VIP parties never fit me anyway.

The sun was already rising into the sky by the time we got to the gate of the set. The desert had heated up rather quickly by the time we entered and pulled in.

I caught my first glimpse of the improved set as we slowly drove through,

and I had to say I was impressed. It looked amazing.

The town was new and vibrant, the buildings looking more structurally sound, but also realistic. Even the paint had the tiniest details down-the chips and faded color looked exactly like an old western town should be.

With all the set hands and assistants running back and forth, it was easy to believe we had stepped into the 1800s-old west.

“Oh, it’s fantastic!” I exclaimed happily as we pulled to a halt in front of the director’s tent.

“He did a better job than I thought,” Damon muttered as we both got out of the car.
