Chapter 220

“Why would you bring up the exchange of money? Neither of you are prostitutes!” she said in outrage. “Of course, Alexander stopped things. I’m sure that had humiliated him.”

“But he was the one who first brought up money,” I argued. “I’m not the one who introduced it into the conversation.”

She raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes. “Are you sure? What are the exact words that Alexander had said?”

I searched my memory, but trying to recall what Alexander had said in that moment was like trying to catch fog with my hands. It kept slipping away from me right before I could grasp onto his words.

“Honestly, I’m not sure,” I admitted. “I had taken a shot of whiskey before we kissed.” I wrung my hands in my lap.

My friend’s nose crinkled. “But you hate whiskey.”

I sighed. “It’s a long story. Tonight was just…very weird.”

We lapsed into silence, and thankfully, Ava let me be alone with my thoughts, something that I knew was hard for her. As I replayed our kiss, I fidgeted in my seat. Now that the initial shock had worn off, remorse was flowing through me. What had I been thinking? Did it really only take me one shot and the thrill of running away from danger to kiss my boss? And it wasn’t like I just kissed him. If I had it my way, Alexander and I would probably be making passionate love under the moonlight right now.
