Caden saw through Alice's little game. “Fooling them, are we?”

Alice looked at him and asked, "What else should I be doing?"

Caden chuckled at that. “Platonic marriages must be really interesting.”

On the other end of the line, Lilliana asked, "Mr. Ward, why were you at the café with Alicia earlier?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Out of curiosity, were you two talking about business?"

Before Caden could respond, Alicia stood up and walked over to him.

Caden's eyes followed her movements. He was caught off guard when she straddled his lap without hesitation. His eyebrows furrowed as he asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Caden turned his head to the side. “What are you trying to do?”

Alice squeezed harder, refusing to give him a chance to dodge.
