Chapter 713

“I came to check on you because I thought you might be in trouble.”

“Me, in trouble? I’m fine, really. And from now on, stop doing things like this, okay?”

Elsie couldn’t bring herself to look up, her ears moving sightly, her smooth skin tingling as if electrified, goosebumps rising on it, “If you’re bored and looking for trouble, Mr. Waverley, go find it somewhere else. I don’t want to see you at the Velvet Haven again. No, what I mean is I hope after tonight, I’ll never see you again.”

In his line of work, the golden rule was to keep things light–hearted and unemotional.
