At first, I wasn't worried at all. However, Lynn's words soon left me feeling uneasy.
Maximus would go to any lengths for revenge, but I wasn't like him. Still, I worried he might do something crazy to me.
On top of that, I had just given Quintus the day off. Without him around, there was no way I could handle that maniac on my own.
I started thinking about staying at Lynn's place for another day. But I couldn't shake the worry that she might try to seduce me again.
As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I quickly brushed it off.
While I might have seemed rich to Lynn, she had met plenty of wealthy people. She must have seen her fair share by now. Otherwise, she wouldn't have turned Maximus down.
I was sure that last night was just an accident. With that thought in mind, I nodded and agreed with Lynn.
Lynn let out a sigh of relief. "It's good that you took my advice. I need to head out and grab a few things. There's breakfast on the table, so just help yourself.
"Riley, stay here with Mr. White."
With that, she grabbed her bag from the couch and headed out, leaving Riley and me behind at her place. I couldn't help but glance over at the young girl. To my surprise, she didn't look away this time. Instead, she shyly met my gaze.
I gave her a bright smile. "Is your name Riley?"
She nodded.
"How old are you?" I asked.
