“Do you like it?” Nate's voice broke her thoughts as he approached and casually draped his arm around her slim
waist.
Corrine glanced at him. “It’s not about liking. Your extravagance is just a bit overwhelming.”
Nate, still holding her waist, gently guided her toward the sofa. “There are more upstairs. Want to see them?”
“Maybe another time,” Corrine said, stifling a yawn.
Nate raised an eyebrow, his expression softening. “Tired?”

As she reached for her bag, she noticed something unexpected—her phone, neatly placed on the bedside table.
Had she placed it there before she fell asleep? But she quickly dismissed the confusion and strode out of the
bedroom.
