A deep chill flashed in Byron's eyes, and his expression grew even colder. "Does Jaylen know you have so many men around you?

Maeve glared at him fiercely. "What does this have to do with you? Give me my phone back!" She feared that Theo, off the other end, might speak up and inadvertently expose her. Fortunately, he was quick-witted; he immediately hung up the call upon hearing her voice. Maeve heaved a sigh of relief as she struggled to snatch her phone back, but unexpectedly, her bag slipped from her lap, and its contents spilled everywhere.
