“So you and Clark… you’re serious now? Are you dating him?” Millie asked.

“I wish!” Luisa interjected. “She’s still going on about her I’ll never fall in love again. Blah blah blah.‘ But I know Clark will slowly melt her heart. Isn’t he so handsome?”

Indeed, she’d initially thought Clark was a gentleman, even if he’d seemed a bit too sweet. She’d even thought that she would be happy if he helped Thalassa to finally move on, but after everything Kris’s investigator had revealed, she was wishing for the complete opposite.

It troubled her that Thalassa was close to someone like Clark, but as much as she wanted to warn her friend, she couldn’t say anything because she feared Thalassa would accuse her of being sent by Kris to influence her or turn her against Clark.

She just hoped the investigators could find damning evidence soon or that Kris could somehow manage to convince Thalassa of how dangerous Clark was.

Millie’s spine stiffened, but she managed to force a smile. “What do you want to know?”

“I don’t know. What’s he like? Kind? Gentle and sweet? A gentle lover or an absolutely wild beast in bed?”
