Sinclair and I had arrived at the auction event separately, so it made sense that we would depart in the same fashion.
I was headed back to my condo, while he would return to his mansion, each of us in our own cars.

Cole had made sure of that.
But now, as I approached my car, I found him standing there, alone, and that unsettled me.
"What do you want?" I asked, my voice carrying a hint of annoyance.
"I'm still your bodyguard, so I'm taking you home," he replied, not a crack of his icy expression.
"Are you joking?" I shot back, fully aware that Cole never joked about such things.
