In the end, however, Zoe still rejected him.

She said, “We’re not at the point where we could watch a movie together! Stop asking me out!”

He asked, “Well, then. What are we to each other now?”

Refusing to answer the question, she hung up on him. Only then did she realize her burning face and feel deeply embarrassed. After all, they had just done some unspeakable things in his car last night.

It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.

Leaning on the couch on the second floor, she read her book cozily while Yanni and Jamie played next to her.

About half an hour later, she heard the sound of a car pulling into her yard.

She didn’t pay it any mind.

Moments later, her servant, Paloma, knocked on the study door before coming in. “Mr. Mason’s here, Ms. Zoe. He said he’s here to hang out with the kids. What should I do?”

Before Zoe could say anything, Yanni gasped and cried out happily, “Dad’s here!”

Not only did she race downstairs, but she also carried Jamie with her.
