Chapter 23

I rolled my eyes. “It’s old news. Stop stalling and tell me what’s up.”

“He works at the daycare center next to the gym.” Wheeler leaned back in the chair and sighed. If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear the man almost swooned. “His name’s Gregory Wang, and he’s the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen. He’s got these beautiful brown eyes and perfect cheekbones, you know? Perfect body, lips made for kissing. And he won’t give me the time of day.”

“You’re gushing. My goodness, you have it bad,” I replied.

“I do.”

“And you’re not used to rejection, are you?” I asked, smirking.

“No. I don’t like it. Feels weird.” He was actually pouting.

I laughed at him. “Welcome to the real world, Wheeler. Just because you’re beautiful, charming and well-to-do doesn’t mean you get whatever you want. You might actually have to prove yourself to someone, make an effort to get into his good graces.”

“Sucks,” he muttered, and poured himself more wine.
