Chapter 17

Drusilla got up from the table and grabbed my hand. Confused, I asked her. “Where are you taking me?”

She replied. “I just don’t want Cal to think I am making his precious girl slog, so you better tell that to him upfront.”

Precious girl?

I blinked and asked. “But did you not say he was in some meeting?”

She kept dragging me and I looked down at myself. I was still wearing my pajamas.

For some reason, he both terrified me and made me feel drawn to him. I just did not know how to react in front of him.

So, I needed some time to think and prepare myself. Drusilla let go of my hand and pushed me to the room I had been sleeping in.
