Chapter thirteen
Jayde POV
"I need to go now," I break the silence that has suddenly stretched between us.
"It's late. Should I drop you off?" His voice was a bit hoarse.
" I can handle myself; I have always been doing so," I turn to look at him and realize he's looking everywhere but me, " How did you know Declan?"
He looks at me now and moves his tongue over his lower lip. The previous incident crept in and I shudder uncontrollably.
This is not happening to me. This is not happening! I can't believe I'm mesmerized already.
"Declan is my friend," he says and blinks once as if surprised I asked him such a question.
His friend? Wow! I don't believe that.
What am I expecting? Hattie's ex-boyfriend is supposed to be someone very rich. I'm sure she wouldn't settle for less.
But why was she not allowed to marry him? I mean he's handsome and rich and also a friend to one of Ayles's billionaires.
