I took Jax to the hospital. His scrapes were pretty bad. I was worried he’d be uncomfortable in the middle of the night, so I stayed with him a bit longer. Don’t overthink it.”I stared blankly out the car window.”I’m not overthinking it. He’s your secretary.
It’s perfectly natural for you to spend a few extra days with him.”Scarlett clearly wasn’t happy with my answer. She slammed on the brakes, sending my headphones tumbling under the seat. I bent down to retrieve them, but instead, I found a pair of men’s swimming trunks tucked away.
Half a month ago, I would have gone ballistic, waving those trunks in her face. But now? I just gave a wry chuckle, picked them up, and tossed them onto the back seat.Scarlett looked flustered.”Oh, those? Jax must have left them in the car after his swimming lesson. Accidentally.”I nodded, resuming my stare out the window.At dinner, a couple at the next table kept staring at Scarlett and me.
When I noticed their gaze, the girl approached us.”Excuse me, are you the female CEO from Jax’s Ins posts? You’re even more gorgeous in person!”Scarlett looked up at her. “Can I help you?”The girl, clearly intrigued, pressed on, “So, are you and Jax dating?”Scarlett glanced at me, still eating, then smiled at the girl.
“Yes, Jax and I are together.”I managed a weak smile back at the girl, but then a sharp pain shot through my stomach.The girl looked at me, confused. “Then who is he?”Scarlett blurted out, “The security guard.”
