The truth was, last night Tilda had suddenly gotten a craving for something ridiculously dark and decadent.

She casually mentioned it while chatting with Jude, and without a second thought, he had it delivered right to her.

Tilda had also asked if he’d been busy lately, and whether personally stepping in to deal with the Jensons would cause him any trouble.

Jude reassured her it was no big deal. He even mentioned he’d have to take care of something the next day.

Then he stayed with her for two whole hours before heading out.

What he didn’t say was that he’d be flying to Lucien for a business trip.

Jude had never hidden the fact that he was interested in forming a contract with her, but he’d always been a gentleman about it. Never once pushed or forced her into anything.

Maurice’s eyes glinted with amusement. “If Jude knew how much you were thinking about him, Ms. Tilda… I’m sure it’d make his day.”

“Mr. Rowse, don’t get the wrong idea. Mr. Bell and I are just friends,” Tilda replied calmly.

If Andy hadn’t figured out that Maurice meant no harm, and hadn’t genuinely loved the vibe of Nightingale Bar, he would’ve kicked him out already.

on me.”

Just then, music started pulsing from the dance floor.

Una, clearly overwhelmed by Maurice’s presence, leaned over and suggested they go dance.

Tilda also down to join, but just as she was about to head over, a unique notification sound chimed from Tilda’s phone.

It was a dark web alert.

There was only one possible sender…

Her apprentice–DJ.

Andy noticed too, and subtly shot Tilda a look.

Then Andy turned to Una with a grin. “Actually, Una, I’ve been wanting to dance too. Let’s go?”

“Yesss!” Una cheered.

Wait… did I just get ditched?
