The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1598

She'd forgotten, yesterday she neglected to reply to Calvin's message.

Just as Felicity was about to text him back, she suddenly felt eyes on her.

Looking up, she met Miles's penetrating gaze.

"Does he always come to you for help?"

"Occasionally."

"Tell him to send the data my way next time. I'll find someone to sort it out for him."

That way, Calvin wouldn't always use this as an excuse to cozy up to Felicity.

At first, she didn't catch the underlying tone, thinking Miles was just concerned she'd overwork herself, "No need, it's not that hard. I can whip it up during a coffee break."

"And if he keeps coming to you? You're just going to keep helping?"

It was then Felicity tasted the jealousy.

Her eyebrows arching slightly, she offered a dismissive smile, creating a metaphorical space between them, "You're being overly concerned."

Miles, dissatisfied, stepped forward, grabbing her wrist, "Felicity, last night you said you'd give me a month..."

"I did say that."

"So what am I to you now?"

Felicity pondered for a moment, "A boyfriend on probation."

He clenched his teeth, his jawline flexing visibly.

A boyfriend on probation, indeed!

His jealousy suddenly seemed entirely unreasonable.

"And what about Calvin? Does he get a probation period too?"

Felicity paused, instinctively starting to clarify her relationship with Calvin, that she had never intended to take things any further.

But the words stopped short of escaping, her lips curving instead, "Who knows what the future holds?"

"..."
