Chapter 46

Myles POV

I was deep in a case file and mentally occupied, going over Serena’s theatrics, when the knock came at my door.

“Come in,” I said without even looking up or stopping for a moment in my writing. The scratch of my pen stopped only when Anna stepped inside.

She looked hesitant for a while.

“Sir… Jonathan Monroe is here to see you. He says it’s urgent.”

I paused.

The name earned a sharp look of disgust from me. Jonathan Monroe, a congressman, public darling and a private bastard. What the hell was he looking for at my office?

I leaned back in my chair with my fingers steepling beneath my chin as I let the silence stretch for a while before talking.

“Show him in,” I said finally in a clipped voice.

Anna gave a brief nod and vanished. I took my time closing the file in front of me while letting my posture settle into something colder and stiffer. I wanted Monroe to feel the coldness the second he stepped into the room.
