They remained like that for a long time, sharing the quietfort of the embrace.


    Eventually, Andrew released Madisyn and gazed into her eyes, his own filled with a depth of emotion.


    His voice was rough when he finally spoke.


    “Aren’t you going to ask me what happened?”


    Madisyn smiled gently.


    “If you want to talk, you will.


    If you don’t, I’ll wait until you’re ready.


    ”


    Andrew stared at her for a moment before suddenly lowering his head and capturing her lips in a fierce kiss.


    Madisyn, unable to resist, melted into his arms, her body growing soft as she gave in to the moment.


    Five minutester, Andrew finally pulled back, still breathing heavily.


    Madisyn took a deep breath, her clear, pure eyes meeting his.


    She had felt something was off since the moment she met him tonight.


    “Is it because of Corbett?” she asked softly.


    Madisyn also found Corbett to be overly arrogant.


    Corbett’spany was filled with top tech experts, while Andrew only had Howard by his side.


    “Corbett?” Andrew Looked puzzled.


    Madisyn exined that she had run into Corbett at the hotel earlier.


    Andrew asked, “You were at that hotel too?”


    “Yes, I was having dinner with a friend there.


    ”


    Andrew’s gaze sharpened.


    “Do you have a good rtionship with Mr.


    Cooper?”


    “Kind of,” Madisyn replied, but then she realized something.


    “Wait, how did you know I was having dinner with Jared?”


    Andrew’s eyes darkened.


    Jared’s name wasn’t one that most people would use so casually.


    “What’s your rtionship with him?” Andrew pressed, his voiceced with a hint of tension.novelbin


    “Um… you could say we work together.


    He’s sought my advice on a few business matters,” Madisyn replied quietly, not quite ready to disclose her role in Homelight Enterprise.


    Work with Jared? Andrew felt a mix of emotions.


    It seemed his girlfriend held a mysterious identity that he didn’t know.


    He had assumed Madisyn would lean on him more after she arrived in this city, yet she seemed to have connections he hadn’t anticipated.


    “It appears my Madisyn is far more aplished than I realized,”


    Andrew remarked casually.


    Feeling slightly guilty, Madisyn touched her nose.


    “Not really.


    I’m certainly not as aplished as you.


    Andrew, you’re the remarkable one.


    ”


    “You’re quite the character,” Andrew teased, yfully tapping her nose.


    “I’m waiting for the day you tell all your secrets to me.


    ”


    Madisyn gave a sheepish smile.
