“We’re taking off, Julie. I’ve left a message for King.”


She nodded, and her gaze tracked them as they walked toward the elevators. “I’ll make sure he knows. Have a good evening.”


They made it to Derek’s car without further interruption, though Greg the security guard offered assistance, and Derek waved him away.

Blake looked around, blinking, and gave a tiny smile. “Your house is cute.”
