The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1459

"I think they both look amazing. When someone is as handsome as you, wearing a potato sack is considered high fashion."

Claire meant every word despite not being the best at compliments.

Dane stayed silent, but the distinct upward curve of his lips proved he was thoroughly enjoying the praise.

"But isn't it a bit too short for this weather? Aren't you freezing?"

Claire asked skeptically.

While he looked gorgeous, the cut seemed much more appropriate for the summer heat.

Dane's mouth twitched. It was freezing.

But he hadn't used his usual stylist, and God only knew what the new guy had been thinking.

A man of his stature normally had a dedicated barber on call.

Unfortunately, his regular guy was studying abroad, so he had to find a replacement.

He had been willing to wait, but the stylist had fallen in love and extended his stay.

Dane's experiment with a new stylist hadn't been a disaster, but it certainly wasn't a triumph.

"It's fine." He couldn't exactly admit he was cold. Thankfully, he spent most of his day indoors, and the climate control handled the rest.

"It'll grow back quickly," he added.

Claire nodded in agreement.

The car's heater was running, keeping the temperature perfectly comfortable, so he wouldn't feel a thing.

He wouldn't let himself freeze; she was worrying over nothing.

When they arrived at her apartment complex, Dane drove straight into the garage and insisted on escorting her up.

"You can head back. I'll be fine on my own."

It was just an elevator ride; what could possibly happen?

Dane wasn't taking any chances. "The incident in Apex didn't blow up publicly, but the Sundara operatives definitely know what happened."

"They failed to kidnap you once; they won't just let it go."

"We cannot drop our guard."

Faced with his firm logic, Claire couldn't refuse.
