Michelle stuck out her tongue, obediently nodding. “Lysander, do you think I’m too foolish?”

“Zachary, what on earth are you trying to do?”

Zachary chuckled lightly. “I’ve been waiting for your call.”

“You’ve already gotten what you wanted. Why are you still pestering Michelle?”

Zachary had seemingly braced himself for her fury, his tone remaining nonchalant. “Shall we meet up and talk?”

“Tell me the location.”

“My home.”

Lysander remained silent.
