Chapter 19- Almost Caught

Adrian’s POV

“My agent said they received an initial rejection of our invitation to dinner,” Amanda drolled once we were alone. “I’m surprised you changed your mind. I heard you weren’t a man prone to such proclivities.”

I wasn’t. I tended to take my time in making important decisions, so once I did make up my mind, I never needed to change it.

But as I was coming to learn about myself, almost none of my tendencies seemed to matter when it came to my wife.

“I’m not,” I answered. But seeing as how you were gracious enough to extend an invitation to my wife, it only seemed fair that I extend the same courtesy to you.”

There was a flicker of surprise on her face, but she quickly masked it. I might have missed it if I hadn’t been watching for a reaction. She was a professional actress after all.

Even though I had already decided based on reviewing her portfolio, I felt vindicated seeing her skills in person.

“Should I offer you belated congratulations?” Amanda asked curiously.
