The Billionaire's Intern (Maya Thompson) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 108: Above the Horizon-1

Maya stepped out of the shower, her skin warm and dewy, carrying the faint scent of her body wash-lavender with a soft hint of vanilla, calming yet quietly intoxicating. Harper, efficient as always, had already packed her things and laid out a dress on the bed-a pale yellow midi dress, its silky fabric catching the light like morning sunshine.
