"Hello..."
She had barely uttered the word when a large hand shot out and snatched her phone away. It was a new phone; she had bought it because the battery and SIM card of her old one were still with Noah Reyes. She hadn't asked Noah for them back, fearing he might make some unreasonable demands, so she had chosen to buy a new one.
"Adele, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner at the Emperor Hotel. After the rain stops, I'll come pick you up," Gio Coleman's voice came through, tinged with amusement.
"She's not free. The three of us are having a family dinner tonight. I trust you're a sensible man, Mr. Coleman, and wouldn't want to be a third wheel, would you?" Noah Reyes coldly refused the invitation on Adele Horne's behalf.
Asking my woman out to dinner right in front of me? He must have a death wish! If he wanted to die, he should have said so. I'd be happy to give my rival the most brutal death by dismemberment, free of charge!
