One Month With the Magnate (2011)
“Isabelle shot up with such force she nearly flung the chair over, blinking furiously, trying to get her bearings. She saw Emilio standing in the doorway and her eyes went wide. “Wh-what time is it?”
“Three minutes after seven.” He folded his arms, kept his mouth in a grim line. “Were you expecting breakfast in bed?”
Her skin paled. “I was going to set the alarm on my phone. I must have fallen asleep before I had the chance.”
“And you consider that a valid excuse for neglecting your duties?”
“No..., you’re right. I screwed up.” She squared her shoulders and rose stiffly from the chair. “I’ll pack my things and be out of here before you leave from work.”
For a second he thought she was playing the sympathy card, but she wore a look of resigned hopelessness that said she seriously expected him to terminate their agreement.
He probably should have, but if he let her go now he would be denying himself the pleasure of breaking her. Lucky for her, he was feeling generous this morning.MoreLess
