Page 140 of His White Moonlight
She nodded her head toward Bennett, and I looked at her in panic.Did she want me to kiss him goodbye?My pulse started to race as I remembered the last time he’d kissed me, and I shook my head slightly.
She rolled her eyes at me and physically turned me toward him.
He was holding up his credit card.
His gaze swept over my face.
“I’d give anything to know why you’re flushing and panicked.”
“Cancel the apartment, and I’ll tell you.”
A slow smile curved his lips.“I don’t think I will.”
He moved closer with the card, and I couldn’t back away because Miranda was still holding me.
“Send me a lot of pictures, Miranda, and your bonus will match the price of the dress you talk her into buying.”

My feet hurt.So did my brain.The amount of money Miranda had convinced me to spend was insane.
But you can sell it all when you’re done using it, Wren.
That was the only saving grace for a day of shopping with Miranda.I had a dress, shoes, earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace.And Miranda was giddy knowing her bonus would equal the total of all of it.
“I feel like you’re my personal shopper with you carrying everything,” I said as the elevator pinged for our floor.
“Today, I am.Plus, I don’t trust you not to drop your shoes purposely.I saw the way you looked at them.”
“No one will know if I wear sneakers.”
“Iwill know, and I will hunt you down if you try it.”
I laughed, which drew Milena’s attention.She stood as we approached her section.
“Must be nice to be the owner’s daughter and take off to shop whenever you want.Does it feel good to fuck over your coworkers?”
“Wrenly isn’t the only one who got to go shopping today,” Miranda said.“Your jealousy is holding you back.”
We continued past her desk to Bennett’s office suite.
His door was closed, and he was on the phone when we arrived, but as soon as he saw us, he waved for us to come in.
I groaned, not wanting to deal with him.
“Don’t be a baby.He just spent a fortune on you.”
“Not by my choice,” I said.
She nudged me toward the door, which I opened for her, and proceeded to hang up my garment bag on a hook near the bathroom door.After she carefully set the shoe bag down, she went to his desk with the jewelry.She honestly was like a shopping assistant because while she did all of that, I went to his napping couch and collapsed horizontally.
Bennett hung up the phone.
“I’m never shopping with her again.She can go by herself.”
“What happened?”Bennett asked.
I could hear the warning in his voice and glanced over to see him staring down at Miranda.
