CHAPTER 18

　　Ace

　　Freshly showered, I put my dark navy jeans on, with a white, fitted shirt, and a leather jacket I designed myself. I’d love to pick Zurielle up in my Ferrari, but as she was originally going out with Hailey, it makes sense we all go together. As much as I don’t want Mark there. We’ll go in the limo.

　　We wait outside Pure Fashion Industries, where Hailey told us to meet them. The moment I see Zurielle through the back window, I get out of the limo.

　　Zurielle is naturally beautiful, but to see her made-up, in that little black dress and high heels, makes me want to drop to my knees and grovel at her feet. She looks at me, up and down, her lips part, and her chest rises, as she inhales sharply. I don’t get enough time to enjoy or study that look in her eyes, because Mark gets out, behind me.

　　‘Zurielle, you look absolutely stunning,’ Mark says.

　　‘Thanks,’ she replies, softly.

　　‘I can’t believe you’re taking us out in a limo!’ Hailey squeals.
