Jade merely pursed his lips when he heard that question.
Deep down, he was desperately trying to conceal an ugly feeling he refused to acknowledge.
"Nope," he replied. "Miss Starla got a visitor and sent me away. And since I'm bored, I've decided to come here. That's all."
The lie rolled off his tongue far more smoothly than he expected.
Because there was simply no way Jade would allow himself to reveal how jealous he felt.
No way he would admit that he ended up here because he had almost accidentally walked into Starla's office earlier.
And certainly no way he would tell Mitchell what he had seen.
His jaw tightened.
The memory returned with merciless clarity.
Vincent's predatory gaze.
That infuriating smirk...!
The way the man had looked completely unashamed as he made love to Starla on top of her office desk.
Jade immediately took another sip of his coffee.
Unfortunately, it did nothing to wash the image from his mind.
