Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1260

[Although, you sounding hoarse is pretty hot too.]

When this man decided to be flirtatious, he was truly unstoppable.

Claire saw every single one of his messages, but she didn't reply. Mostly because she couldn't. There was simply no way to respond to that. After spending time with him, Claire had finally figured out how he operated. Wilbur was the kind of guy who would take a mile if you gave him an inch. If she gave him even the slightest bit of attention, his ego would inflate to the size of a hot air balloon.

On the other side of town, Wilbur was checking his phone every five minutes. It didn't matter if he was in a meeting or negotiating a massive deal. The worst part was he did it openly, without even bothering to invent an excuse.

His business partner, an old friend named Conrad, couldn't help but ask, "Who are you waiting for, Wilbur?"

Wilbur answered smoothly, "My wife."

Standing nearby, Gideon Kane, his assistant, felt his mouth twitch. They weren't even officially dating yet, but his boss was talking as if they had already signed the marriage papers.

The shocking news caused Conrad to spit his tea all over the table. Wilbur dodged the spray in disgust.

Once Conrad recovered, he pressed, "When did you get married? Why didn't you tell me? Why wasn't I invited? We've known each other for years! You need to introduce me to my new sister-in-law. I have to see who was unlucky enough to end up with you."

"Request denied," Wilbur replied flatly.

Conrad was baffled. "Why?"

"Because I'm afraid you'll covet my wife."

Conrad stared at him. It was impossible to have a normal conversation with this man.

Wilbur wrapped up the negotiation half an hour early. As he walked out of the private room, he sent Claire another message.

[Baby, what do you want for dinner?]
