When Annie York opened the door and saw Walker Grant, her eyes widened in shock and her heart began to pound. A blush crept onto her fair face, and her fingers tightened on the door. She was incredibly nervous and anxious, yet deep down, she felt a secret flicker of anticipation.
’He actually came looking for me this late.’
"Mr. Grant, is something the matter?" Annie York struggled to control her emotions, determined to hide her true feelings.
"Out."
Walker Grant’s tone was frigid. He kept his distance, his gaze barely resting on her face before he turned and walked away.
Annie York followed him out, her eyes on his tall, imposing back. He was wearing a black shirt with one hand tucked into his pocket, exuding an air of cold, aloof nobility. He was so handsome it made her heart pound uncontrollably.
’What should I do?’
’I think I’m starting to like him more and more.’
Annie York quickly lowered her gaze and took a few deep breaths, burying her feelings deep inside. She absolutely couldn’t let him see any sign of it.
’He isn’t divorced yet. I can’t be a homewrecker. Besides, Chloe is so good to me. I can never do anything to betray her.’
When they reached the lounge area on the lower level, Walker Grant sat on a sofa. Watching Annie York, who was standing at a distance, he asked in a low voice, "What were you two doing at the hotel?"
Annie York was taken aback by the sudden question, and for a moment, she couldn’t quite process what he meant.
She instinctively looked up, but the moment her gaze met his dark, cold eyes, she quickly looked away. "I... I got my clothes dirty," she stammered. "Chloe took me to get it taken care of."
Hearing this, Walker Grant scoffed.
’Such a deep bond they share. To think she’s still covering for Chloe Reed.’
Walker Grant’s voice was grim. "The fact that I’m asking you means I already know you two went to the pharmacy. I know exactly what you bought. So answer my question honestly, or you can leave right now."
Annie York’s heart clenched, and the color drained from her face. ’This man is as handsome as he is dangerous!’
