The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 161

Sebastian lowered his eyes, his thumb tracing the smooth wood of his rosewood bracelet. "This matter needs to be resolved as quickly as possible. Delays breed complications."

Riley received a call from Pierce late the next afternoon. "You moved out?"

"Where did you move to?"

His voice was ice-cold; he was clearly furious.

"Are you seriously going to be this ruthless, Riley?"

"You forced my hand. If you meet me at the courthouse and sign the papers, I'll drop the suit."

"Don't even dream of a divorce!"

He hung up instantly.

Riley put her phone down and went back to organizing her new desk. She had gone to the furniture store earlier that day and bought a desk with a built-in bookshelf for her room.

She planned to return to work a week early—the day after tomorrow. That meant she had to get the entire apartment perfectly organized within the next two days.
