    Chapter 247


    Howard lifted his gaze with icy precision


    Nathan, smugly trumphant, answered his phone and switched it to speaker mode.


    “Hey, Gwendolyn What’s up with thete call?” he asked politely. With Howard at his side, he dared not


    y the fool.


    “Nathan, I have a question for you. Way back in the Capital, who could get into Mr. Chadwick’s room?”


    Gwendolyn’s voice came through tinged with embarrassment.


    It felt like she was checking up on him.


    Nathan chuckled, “Gwendolyn, you wanna know if there were anydies, right? Not even a female


    mosquito would breach his chamber. Quentin’s the one who manages his day–to–day stuff.”


    High stakes meetings were too important for any slip–ups


    Gwendolyn breathed a sigh of relief at the mention of Quentin, “Are you sure there’s no one else?”


    “Cross my heart” Nathan was about to swear to the heavens, “If he was such a yboy, he’d have a


    whole bunch of women hanging around him. Why would he need to skulk about?”


    Gwendolyn bit her lip, hesitant. But knowing Nathan’s personality, she ventured. “Do you know if he


    has a mole on his lower back?”


    Nathan exaggerated, “Gwendolyn, are you calling to unt your romance? But I’ve known about it


    forever. We used to y together as kids, remember?”


    That mole was a stark contrast to Howard’s cold and austere demeanor


    Nathan, never one to mind his words, teased further “You guys are that close now huh? Seems like the


    gift I gave you came in handy


    Gwendolyn swallowed herst question, ending the call


    She had wanted to ask about Howard’s virginity


    In the CEO’s office at Summit Corp


    Nathan shrugged helplessly. “She hung up”


    His eyes sparkled with murth like the oceani


    “Do you guys talk a lot privately?” Howard was frosty, his gaze carrying a warming


    “Don’t use me unfairly Maybe you should reflect on what’s making Gwendolyn feel insecure,


    reassurance,” Nathan raised an eyebrow suggestively. Did you indulge


    “I’m not shameless like you” Howard replied, his face darkening


    Nathan prodded lewdly, “Come on, tell me, are you still a virgin?”


    Howard had always been controlled andposed the


    the point where she’s calling me for at the Capital?


    person to disclose such a private matter


    But even the most reserved have their youthful indiscretions and Nathan wasnt sure if Howard had


    ever sought thepany of women, or if he’d had sex with Selina


    “Go home.”


    “Howard, that’s not cool. I’ve shared all my first time details with you and you can’t even be honest ne”


    Nathan’s handsome features feigned distress.


    He was genuinely curious to see what Howard would be like consumed by desire


    He sighed dramatically, “Here I am, burning the midnight oil with you over these blueprints, and you


    cant separate work from pleasure Dragging me into overtime just to surprise Gwendolyn”


    “Cut the crap. Have you finished reviewing them?”

    “These two aren’t bad.”


    Nathan handed two blueprints over to Howard, Tve never seen you so invested. Are you really into


    Gwendolyn?”


    Howard looked up, nomittal, “What do you think?”


    “Sure, a life saving debt ought to be repaid. Ever been her gant steed? Nathan couldn’t resist a final


    jibe


    Howard shot him a cool nce. “Vulgar”


    Nathan retorted, pping the desk, “You call me vulgar, but I dare you to go your whole life without


    using those toys I sent you. Oh please, you think pleasing a woman is just in and out? There’s an art to


    it, buddy”
