Chapter 49 Her end of the bargain

Ten minutes later.

Renee sat in the back of the Maybach, her hands placed demurely on her knees, resembling a child caught in a

“So, Mrs. King, was that your idea of a discussion?” Marcelo’s fingers drummed on the armrest.

Renee, rolling her eyes, muttered, “Didn’t you leave?”

“Right away,” Luke acknowledged.
