Chapter 15

• "I simply just don't understand why we have to leave the house before the dinner party, which is in..." Lily peered behind Asher to get a good luck on the wall clock behind him, "11 hours! That's a long time, Asher, and I am not leaving my bed before the appointed time."
• Asher sighed heavily and massaged his temples. He already had his bath and was dressed in a pair of joggers and a loose T-shirt, and for the past 10 minutes, he'd been trying to get Lily out of the bed to bath and get dressed because they have a long day ahead of them, yet... She wasn't budging. "If you don't get up in the next 30 seconds, Lily, I am going to carry you into the bathroom and bathe you, myself."
• Her eyes widened, and she sat up on the bed. "No need to be a caveman, Mr Allard. We can talk civilly. All I'm asking is that you tell me why you want me to bath and leave this gorgeous room and bed, when our event is in 11 hours."
