The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 204

Chapter 204

Palmer’s fingers coaxed Noella’s curtains aside. Leaning lazily against the balcony rail, his gaze swept over the potted blooms Sienna had chosen with care–a riot of color that celebrated the vigor of life.

The scent of flowers mingled with something odd, causing Noella to frown slightly.

“You…” she hesitated.

“Just missed you,” Palmer said. “Saw you were busy, and I didn’t want to intrude.”

Clear weariness tinged his features, but a lazy curve softened the lines of his face. With the room’s light swallowed by the heavy drapes, Palmer under the moon took on an alluring and mystical air.

Noella stepped toward him, pausing at the window’s edge, “It seems that my fiancée has her own empire to run; I’ve got my hands full for a while, too. Pollack Group’s got a slew of mergers on the table. Would you miss me if I didn’t come around, my fiancée?”

The mountain of paperwork that came with Pollack Group’s dealings justified Palmer’s busyness.

“I’ll… try.” She said.

His smile deepened, “Good. Once this is all over, I’ve got a story for you.”

“What story?”

“About the first time we met! You might’ve forgotten, but I remember every detail.”

With a lingering gaze that seemed to caress her from afar, Palmer drew back his hand as if to touch her, then thought better of it.

“Sweet dreams.” He swung himself from the balcony with a grace that belied his fatigue. His car purred to life in the shadows–he didn’t return to the neighboring Dragon Tower.

One last look at Noella’s rose–framed room, and his smile dropped into a mask of ice.

“Let’s go.” He said.
