Astrid's eyes lit up as she picked up Rowan's call. "Hey, Rowan," she said, her voice filled with fake excitement, all in the name of wanting to make Julian angry.
"I am outside your villa," Rowan replied, grinding seeing how she had responded to him.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah, the Chairman is having a meeting and I am invited there, I am pretty sure you are too so I thought of dropping you off," he explained and she nodded her head at his thought.
"That is a great idea, hold on, I am on my way to the door," she exclaimed and quickly stood up from the dining table.
Julian grabbed her hands immediately, holding her back.
"Where are you going?" he asked, his eyes narrowing slightly, hearing the name of Rowan first thing in the morning already ruined his mood.
Astrid snatched her hands from Julian's grasp. "You don't have to know," she said, her voice firm.
