Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

433-Coming Inside.

“You didn’t answer me,” I repeated my question and waited for him to respond to me. He looked a little lost before he rolled his eyes at me to dismiss my emotions.

“It wasn’t Val! I mean, it was her, but it was some office work,” he said to himself in the same sentence and then walked past me to rush into the mansion.

“Sorry! I forgot you are —,” he said, stopping just as he was about to enter and turned to offer me his hand.

“You have work to do at this time.” I frowned, watching him nod his head instead of answering me with words.
