Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 35

The next morning, Kent is working in his office when a knock

comes at the door.

“Come in,” he calls, hardly paying attention.

The door creeks open but no one says anything. Annoyed, Kent looks up, ready
to tell whatever captain or guard was coming to report to get on with it and stop
wasting his time.

housekeeper to leave it down more often.

“Yesss...?" Kent prompts, impatient.

“I just wanted to talk. About last night.” She hesitates again. “Is it

safe to talk in here? About...”

He sighs and gives her a little glare. “Yes, Fay. Go ahead.”

“I just wanted to offer, again, to help. In whatever way I can. I'm happy to offer my
services.”

“Your...services,” he says, letting his eyes rove over her body as much as they
want to, deliberately trying to be lewd. If he embarrasses her, she'll give up, he
thinks. As she’s done before.

She blushes deliciously — he feels a stirring within himself, watching her squirm-

“You know what I mean, Kent,” she says. “I could council you, offer some
therapies.”

“I don't need those,” he says, looking back to the papers on the desk as if they're
more interesting and important.

“We could just try,” she says, frustrated. He smiles and looks back at her, liking
the fire he sees in her when she gets pissed off. God,

but he loves to stir that fire.
