“Relax, Uncle Klein’s never had a girlfriend, no scandals, not even a whiff of gossip. Even his assistant is a man. Honestly, I ve never seen him get close to anyone. But even though he’s my uncle, I used to think maybe he swung the other way.
Seriously. Whit, you should check for yourself to see if he’s straight or not,” Lenaeased.
Whitney blinked, a little flustered, “He’s straight, isn’t he?”
“Don’t just assume! You gotta see for yourself!” Lena urged.
Whitney paused, confused, “How am I supposed to do that?”
Lena urged, “Just hop into bed with him. Trust me, you’ll figure it out real quick!”
As soon as Lena said that, Whitney blushed badly.
“Lena Keep your voice down!” Whitney hissed.
She was afraid Klein might overhear from the hallway. If he did, she’d just die of embarrassment!
Lena said with a grin, “Relax, he didn’t hear a thing. Seriously, Whit, I’m just looking out for your happiness.”
The two of them huddled together, sharing secrets and laughing for ages. By the time they finally came out, the movers had already left.

Martin smiled and said, “Kiein said he wanted to cook dinner himself.”
‘It should be ready soon. Whitney, Lena, you can head downstairs and eat,” Martin said.
Lena sucked in a breath, eyes widened. “Whit, did I hear that fight? Uncle Klein’s actually cooking, just for me?”
Martin, who hadn’t gone far, nearly tripped.
He glanced back at Lena with a look of sympathy, thinking, ‘I never realized Miss Harris could be so presumptuous.
Whitney said with a smile, “I guess he’s just happy you’re here, so he wanted to cook for you.”
With Whitney’s confirmation, Lena was even more thrilled.
Wow, who would’ve thought Uncle Klein, usually so cold, could actually be kind of sweet? Lena thought
But when they got downstairs and Lena saw the heart–shaped steak on Whitney’s plase, she realized shed totally got the wrong idea.
She cut at her steak with a huff, shooting Klem an accusing look
Meanwhile, Klein was slowly cutting his own steak and his was heart–shaped too
“Is it hard to cut? I haven’t started yet Want to swap he asked
Whitney shook her head and said, “No, it’s line I can do it myself
But Klein didn’t pay her any mind. He just grabbed her plate and swapped it with the one he’d already cuf setting of night in

Pia took a bite of her steak, feeling so jealous.
After dinner, Lena didn’t linger. She headed out pretty quickly.
She left with a satisfied heart, but there was still a little pang of jealousy, like her beste had just been stolen away from her
But seeing how well Uncle Klein treated Whitney, she felt a little better about it.
‘Go ahead and regret it, Carter. Just wait and see! Lega thought.
After dinner, Whitney didn’t really unpack. She was just getting reacquainted with where all her stuff was
The walk–in closet was massive, packed with her clothes.
As for Klein, his wardrobe barely took up any space, but every single piece looked seriously expensive.
Apparently, Klein had even set up a study for her on the second floor.
