Chapter 142

Curtis was still in a daze after hanging up the phone, absently glancing toward Victoria's office.

Could it have been Victoria?

Inside Victoria's office, Ailie was gossiping away when Curtis's assistant appeared at the door.

"Ms. Ailie, Mr. Garcia would like to see you."

Victoria was more than happy to have Ailie whisked away-she'd been hoping for some peace to get back to work.

Ailie practically skipped out of the office, grinning. When she reached Curtis, he looked at her with a complicated expression.

"So, Mr. Garcia, what's on your mind?"

Ailie was ready, striking a pose that all but said, "Come on, beg me."
