Camelia threw her arms across the billionaire. “I get it, I get it, and I am sorry, okay?” She raised herself on her toes and showered his face with kisses. Public shows of affection had by no means been her factor (or Valerian’s for that matter), nevertheless it was simply so pleasing, doing this stuff now that they resulted in another person’s ache.

The upstart little bitch had it coming, Camelia thought, for even daring to need a man who was utterly out of her league.

Please cease pissing them off, mon amour. None of them has the heart to vote you out, however that may simply change if you happen to push them too far.

Camelia had at all times labored onerous to easy issues over for him. Neither had she ever been the kind to complain concerning the variety of hours he spent working. She was additionally dynamite in mattress, and she or he might’ve been excellent if not for her merciless disregard for anybody whose checking account was beneath seven figures.

A leopard did not change his spots in a single day, positive, however in his girlfriend’s case, there have been instances when she truly appeared to relish the harm she inflicted on others. What the hell was so nice about being a snob?

Camelia’s insulting phrases have been nonetheless in his thoughts when he joined Poppy within the cabana, and the best way she averted his gaze solely made him really feel worse. She was nonetheless clearly harm after seeing him lock lips along with his girlfriend, however to acknowledge this could solely make issues worse.

“All finished, Mr. Rossfield. Do you want anything?”

“No, nothing.” He was not a sort man, however for her, and solely on this occasion, he wished to be so. And sadly, the one acceptable means for him to be variety was to feign indifference. “You are free to go.”

Valerian remained within the cabana even when Poppy was lengthy gone. Camelia tried to coax him into becoming a member of her for a swim, however his flat refusal had her storming away in a rage.

How are you going to nonetheless be so fucking mad a couple of silly joke? She’s no one, for fuck’s sake!

Her callousness was beginning to flip him off, and simply when Valerian did not suppose the night might get any worse—-

It did.

Chapter Seven

POPPY’S THOUGHTS WERE a large number. She had been engaged on autopilot since leaving the lodge. She could not even make herself eat. All she might take into consideration was what the billionaire’s girlfriend had known as her.

An unpleasant little duckling.
