Don’t Tell Our Parents
I checked my phone and faked a sudden, terrible headache, and told them I needed to go home early.
“Drive safely, sweetie,” my mom said kissing my cheeks.
“Get some rest, Avery,” Richard added warmly.
Lael didn’t say anything. He just offered me one last lazy, wicked smirk that practically promised he would see me soon.
The drive back to my apartment was long and quiet. My hands gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. My brain was spinning. I could’ve wrap my head around it. Out of all the men in the city, how on earth did my mom land Richard De La Fontaine? He was a literal legend. His face had been on sport channel for years before he built his massive business empire.
