In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1358

For a moment, I couldn’t figure out who it was., “Excuse me, can I know the name of my client who has been detained?”

There was a brief pause on the other end of the phone. The police asked the alleged client, “Your name, mister.”

Even though Alexander was a disheveled mess, it didn’t affect his youthful good looks. He was indeed worthy of his name.

We locked gaze for two seconds. I was positive I had never seen this man in my life.

“So, are you representing this man?” I recognized the voice to be the police officer who had called me earlier. “Why are you so late?”
