Resentment churned in Bette’s stomach. She wasn’t a fan of the owner of McCann Public Relations. The woman was cold and ruthless. And so beautiful that there was no way any man would have gone two years without noticing her. Not that Bette was jealous or anything.
She would have rather had Simon never notice her at all. Now she was the liar. She knew that wasn’t the case or she would have never experienced the most mind-blowing sex of her life. What they’d done...
