Freya was naturally composed, so she neither screamed nor flinched. "I want to

tell you."

"Is it money you're after?" Freya dismissed his nonsense with a cool voice.

Brendan didn't harbor genuine affection for women. This current flirtatious persona-just one of his most practiced masks.

"Who doesn't want money?" Brendan casually set his wine glass aside, his legs still crossed in effortless elegance. "But right now, it's the least of my priorities. Compared to that, I'd much rather have..."

He purposely trailed off.

Freya's brow twitched faintly. "What?"

"You." His grin was so dangerously captivating, it seemed to draw the whole world into silence.

Freya said nothing. She didn't press him further.

arousing suspicion.

Brendan was every bit as wary as Ellis-if not worse.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Brendan asked, "You don't believe me?"

"If you had any real feelings for me," Freya replied evenly, "you should have gone

Brendan rose with unhurried grace, his eyes brimming with amusement and interest as they settled on her.

Freya held his gaze, utterly unshaken.

"No wonder Kristian still hasn't gotten over you after the divorce." He inched closer, his scent fresh and alluring. “With a temperament like yours, even I'm starting to feel tempted."
