Linda audibly gasped, her gossipy eyes shifting from Steven to me, her face screaming, You two are that close? Still sleeping together after the divorce?
My own eyes widened in shock. I never would have expected Steven to say something so explosive.
"Don't you dare slander me. I have nothing to do with you. Last night, you were the shameless one..." I gritted my teeth and stopped, almost falling into his conversational trap. "You care so much about your reputation. You should control your own people, so they don't embarrass you in public."
Steven raised an eyebrow, his palm wrapped in gauze.
"Am I not controlling my own person right now? Don't run off again tonight. Don't make me use other methods."
My face darkened. He still hadn't given up? He wanted me to sleep with him again tonight?
"Dream on!"
Steven didn't argue, his eyes just grew heavier. "I'll come and get you. It's settled."
I was speechless. The nerve of this man.
I glanced at the two bodyguards behind me and instantly felt more secure.
He could wait all he wanted tonight.
Linda let out a snort of laughter and looked at Steven. "Mr. Lancaster, I'm the design director at Mr. Taylor's company. What Zephyra means is that your female assistant is quite the embarrassment. She was just bullying and insulting Zephyra!"
Steven looked down at me. "Verna bullied you?"
Before I could speak, Verna bit her lip, her cool expression filled with stubborn indignation.
