    Curtis raised an eyebrow, a smirk ying on his lips. “Who said I didn’t want to? I can’t wait to be your


    secret lover. Even if you were just messing with my feelings or seeking revenge, I’m all for it.”


    Who would have thought that the high and mighty Curtis, so imperious outside, would be so unabashed


    now?


    Leanne retorted, “Who’s messing with your feelings?”


    Curtis chuckled, his gazezy and teasing. “If not with my feelings, why don’t you mess around with my


    body instead? I wouldn’t mind.


    “You wish,” Leanne snapped back, just as Curtis turned his head and sneezed.


    She grabbed a lint roller and rolled it over his shirt, picking up a good amount of cat hair. His pants


    were worse, the ck fabric highlighting the fur even more.


    He was a walking allergen now.


    “You should head home,” Leanne suggested. “You can’t handle the air here.”


    The house, a quaint inheritance from her parents, wasn’trge. The guest room had been converted


    into a study, and another recently cleared out to serve as a cat sanctuary,plete with storage for cat


    supplies and a climbing structure.


    The climbing structure, a gift from Curtis, was crafted from sturdy oak bars forming a louvered


    enclosure with three tiers inside. It was as much a piece of art as it was functional.


    But, despite her daily vacuuming efforts, the cat preferred her bedroom, his fur infiltrating


    every corner.


    In this 2000 square foot home, there was no refuge for Curtis.


    Regretting bringing the cat over, Curtis clutched Leanne’s hand, his heart heavy with reluctance to end


    their evening.


    He wanted to take her back to their ce at Crystal Cove Vis, their shared home. The words nearly


    slipped out but he swallowed them back. No need to rush things.


    She wasn’t fond of that ce.


    With a soft sigh, Curtis pulled her close and kissed her gently, his voice tender with longing, “I’m


    leaving now. Will you miss me tonight?”


    “I don’t think so,” Leanne replied.


    Curtis didn’t mind. He smiled and said, “I’ll miss you.”

    “Did you say Leanne hid Curtis in her bedroomst night? And you almost caught them. together?”


    Selina was roused from her bed early in the morning by Joy’s call, surprisingly pleased by the news.


    “They’re moving fast!”


    Just then, someone knocked on her door.


    Joy,den with pent-up irritation, answered it to find Curtis’ impably dressed assistant, Caleb.


    “Good morning, Ms. Campbell,” Caleb greeted her politely.


    “What do you want? Inviting me to Curtis’ funeral?” Joy snapped.


    Caleb kept his smile. “Mr. Richardson thought, with summer around the corner, a fashionable young


    lady like yourself should update her wardrobe. He sent me to take you shopping. The car is waiting


    downstairs.”


    Joy was suspicious and wary. “What’s the catch?”


    “At the Stonebridge International Finance Center, you can pick anything you like today, no limits.”


    Stonebridge was a luxury shopping mall teeming with high-end brands, including Hermes. “Give me


    five minutes!” Joy mmed the door and rushed to get ready.
