“I’ve been waiting to do that.” I grinned.

A light smile crossed her beautiful plump lips. “Thank you.”

“Can I see you later? I can come by your place and bring dinner.”

“I was going to take a bath.”

“You can take a bath.”

The thought of her in the bathtub aroused me.

“What if I’m in the tub when you arrive and can’t let you in.”

“I have a key. I can let myself in.” I winked.

She laughed and laid her head on my shoulder.

“Then, by all means, Mr. Westbrook, come on over.”

After dropping Jillian off at home, I headed to the office. As I walked down the hallway, I stopped when I saw Jess standing in front of Lia’s desk.

“What the hell is going on here?” I asked as I glared at Jess.

“Oh. So, you weren’t in your office. I thought your secretary was lying to me.”

I sighed. “What do you want, Jess?” I walked into my office.

“I ran into somebody today at lunch.”

“And I care why?” I raised my brow at her.

“I ran into Jillian. Remember her? The girl you met on the plane to Hawaii? The girl we had dinner with?”

“Okay. And?”

“She told me she ran into you the other day.”

“Yes. So?”

“Are you dating her?”

“No. I’m not dating her. And even if I was, what business is it of yours? What part of ‘we’re over’ do you not understand?”

“I know we’re over, asshole. My point is that I think you have a thing for her, and I believe that’s why you broke up with me.”

Rolling my eyes, I leaned back on my desk.

“I broke up with you because you are a selfish woman, Jess. Now I refuse to get into this again with you. I have work to do. Please leave and don’t come back here again.”

“What happened to you?” She glared at me. “You’ve changed so much since we first met.”

“Maybe it was the toxic people in my life that changed me, you being the toxic person. I can call security and have them escort you out if you want.”

“I hate you, Drew Westbrook.”

“So you’ve said a million times. If you hate me so much, why do you still come around? Don’t you see how pathetic that is?”

“I’m leaving.” She turned on her heels and headed towards the door. “And for the record, I really do hate you.” She slammed the door shut behind her.
