How to Train Your Ex-Billionaire novel Chapter 94

Winifred asked, “And what if I say no?”

“…If you say no, does that mean you’ll never see Murphy again?” Yvan countered. “He seems to really like you.”

“Murphy is Murphy, and you are you.”

“But you’ll run into me often. Don’t you think they’ll find it strange if we see each other and don’t say a word?”

Winifred thought he was just being difficult. What was so strange about not talking? Besides, it wasn’t like she spent every day with Murphy.

Whatever. She couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. After the new year, she was resigning and moving to Portside anyway. They would be thousands of miles apart. What did it matter if they were friends or not?

With that in mind, Winifred said, “Fine, whatever you want.”

A smile touched Yvan’s lips. He unlocked the doors. “You can get out now.”

Winifred got out of the car, and Yvan followed.

Just as she was about to say goodbye, Yvan said, “As a friend who just drove you home, aren’t you going to invite me up for a cup of tea?”

Winifred felt like she had been tricked.

Yvan stuck his hands in his pockets, his expression relaxed. “Don’t worry. I said we’d be normal friends. I won’t try anything.”

“All right, then,” Winifred finally relented.

Once inside, Winifred set down her bag. “Make yourself comfortable. What would you like to drink? Tea or juice?”

“Do you have any beer?” Yvan asked.

Winifred’s hand paused on the refrigerator door as she remembered what Todd had told her about him drinking until he had stomach bleeding.

“No,” she said. “I only have tea and juice.”

Yvan said, “Then I’ll have a cup of tea.”

Winifred took some tea leaves from the cabinet. The kettle was empty, so she went to the kitchen to fill it with water.

While waiting for the water to boil, she saw apples, bananas, and pears in the fridge. She washed them and decided to make a fruit platter.
