The Fragrance Queen's Final Note novel Chapter 118

Queenie stopped dead in her tracks. She threw a disgusted glare over her shoulder. "I'm not a cheap escort you can order around to stroke your ego."

With that, she threw back the covers and climbed into bed.

Leaving him staring at her cold, unbothered back.

Zander stood frozen in the center of the room, his chest heaving with barely suppressed rage. He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, then slowly forced them open. Furious and humiliated, he stormed out of the room!

He had walked in overflowing with hope.
