Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1174

"Do you think the insomnia is scarier, or is he scarier?" Jordan countered.

Katy had no argument for that.

Insomnia was definitely worse!

When someone was driven to the absolute edge by lack of sleep, fear stopped registering. All they craved was rest.

That night, at midnight.

Katy knocked on Jett's door.

The late-night hallway was eerily silent.

The door stayed firmly shut.

Defeated, Katy was about to turn around and endure another grueling night staring at the ceiling until dawn.

Then, the door clicked open.

Jett stood in the doorway wearing black pajamas, his face an unreadable mask of ice.

He didn't say a word.

He just stared at her with those freezing, emotionless eyes.

The moment she met his gaze, Katy wanted to bolt.

But Jordan's words echoed in her mind.

Try again.

Just try one more time.

If it actually worked, maybe there was hope for her after all.

She bit her lip, gathering every ounce of her courage.

Throughout all of this, Jett remained silent. He didn't close the door; he just watched her.

Finally, Katy threw caution to the wind and blurted it out. "Can I sleep with you?"

She couldn't even look him in the eye as she said it.

The air froze for a split second.

She could practically hear her heart hammering against her ribs.

Jett didn't move, but the icy depths of his eyes seemed to ripple—like a swift, hidden current beneath a frozen lake, so fast it might have been a trick of the light.

After what felt like an eternity, he stepped aside, his movements stiff.

A single word rumbled from his throat.

"Come in."

...

When Sophia Cole knocked and entered, she made sure Seth wasn't in Noreen's office before sliding a specific document out from a thick stack and pushing it across the desk.
