Whitney lay down on the treatment bed, and the beautician gently removed her makeup. “Ms. Moore, your skin is still delicate and smooth

It was almost impossibly soft to the touch–like she could break it with a breath. If I had Whitney’s skin, she thought, 1 definitely wouldn’t bother coming to a spa for treatments

Whitney was used to compliments like these and simply said, “Just give me a basic hydrating facial”

Lena sighed, “Whit, I wish I had even half your genes. I went on that trip and got sunburned.”

Me Harris, your skin is beautiful too, the beautician said.

After the beautician finished her rainbow of compliments, the two best friends started chanting while their face masks wer

Before she could finish, Lena’s phone rang.

55 ches

Whitney’s heart skipped a beat. “Klein?” she thought. What did he say to James? Could he have mentioned something about

us?

Unfortunately, the call cut off whatever Lena was about to say next. Dustin held his cigarette between his teeth. “Hey. sweetheart, there’s a new restaurant on New Street that’s pretty good. Wanna come try it? My treat.”

Lena’s mouth twitched. “Dustin, can you just call me by my name? Sweetheart? Ugh, that’s so cheesy.”

She wrinkled her nose. “I’m not coming. Whit and I are at the salon right now.”

Dustin lifted his eyelids and glanced at the man on the couch. He thought, ‘Well. His woman is there too.

“Then come together,” he said. “Lena, if you pass this up, it’s not gonna be so easy to get me to pay next time.”

Lena’s eyes lit up, and she covered the phone’s mouthpiece. “Whit, wanna grab dinner together tonight?”

Whitney actually wanted to say no. She knew Dustin was the doctor Klein had taken her to see a few times before.

But Lena didn’t give her a chance to refuse. “We’re coming. Send me your location.”

Whitney couldn’t help but sigh.

Lena hung up and grinned. “Hehe, Whit, you have no idea how stingy Dustin is. This time we’re going all out and ordering whatever we want. I’m gonna make him pay through the nose.”

They’d been rivals for years, so Whitney didn’t bother arguing and just smiled in agreement.

Dustin waved his phone triumphantly. “Alright, Mr. Harris, I’m heading out now.”

Wait.” Klein’s brows drew together, and his gaze flicked over coolly. “I’m coming with you.”

Dustin scoffed, “Didn’t you say you were busy tonight? What happened–suddenly you’re free because a certain someones going?”

Klein let him tease but didn’t take the bait.

Dustin was curious about how far things had actually progressed between them. “Hey, that news about the Moore Family’s second daughter online—you leaked that too, right? Just because she pissed off your girl?”

Klein let out a cold laugh. “She pissed me off too.”

Did she really think my bed was that easy to climb into?‘ he thought darkly

He’d only been away from the country for a few years, and already someone had gotten bold enough to try crawling into his

bed.

His bed was reserved for one person only

Dustin clicked his tongue and grinned. Dann, Mr Harris, are you getting serious about your nephews gub

He couldn’t wait to see Carter’s face when he found out Klein had set his sights on his ex–girlfriend. This is gonna be one hell of a show, he thought I’m claiming a front–row seat right now.

Lena pulled Whitney into the restaurant, and the moment they stepped inside, the view stopped them both in their tracks

A small bridge arched over flowing water, and green plants wrapped around everything, creating a garden aus right in the middle of the city.

They made their way to their reserved private room, and when Lena slid open the wooden door. Whitney froze for a second.

“Uncle Klein?” Lena’s surprise was obvious in her voice. “You’re here too?” She was pretty sure her Uncle Klein hateri eating at

restaurants.

Sometimes he was so old–fashioned it was almost funny, like he’d time–traveled from another century and only wanted home–cooked meals.

She’d even wondered if his years abroad had turned him into a hermit. So seeing Klein here, of all places was the last thing she’d expected.

Hey, sweetheart, come on in.” Dustin waved them over with a warm smile.

He nodded politely at Whitney. “Whit-”

Before he could finish, Whitney broke into a violent coughing fit.

Dustin felt Klein’s death glare slice right through him, and he immediately shut his mouth. Right, he thought These w are still keeping things under wraps from Lena.‘

Lena’s face filled with concern as she looked at her friend. “Whit, are you okay?”

Whitney got so worked up that she nearly gave herself away, and her guilt made her choke on her owl healt
