Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0135

After calming Yasmine down, I returned to Nicholas' office. As soon as I stepped through the door, he grabbed me by the waist and pinned me against the heavy door.

"Mrs. Hawk, you're truly generous. So many people spend their whole lives chasing after wealth like this, and you just give it away to

I gently stroked the fingers gripping my waist to soothe him. As he gradually relaxed his grip, I turned in his arms to face him.

"Honey, how many good friends can one have in a lifetime?" I lightly wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed my cheek against his chest. "In my 26 years, I've only had two." Yasmine was one, and Deena was the other, though I hadn't seen her in a long time since she'd been studying abroad.

"And what about me?" He cupped my chin and leaned down to kiss me, his words muffled against my lips. "When will Mrs. Hawk be as generous with me too?"
