Chapter 759

Yvonne emerged slowly from the bathroom, her long, pale legs moving with deliberate grace. She was draped in nothing but a thin, black lace nightgown, the damp strands of her hair clinging to her skin. Every step she took seemed calculated to seduce, and the sly smile tugging at her lips only heightened her allure.

The door swung open, and Drake stepped inside. Yvonne moved instantly, throwing her arms around his neck.

“Drake,” she purred, her voice honeyed and soft, “have you missed me these days?”

He pried her arms off his neck, his chilling indifference making the smile on her face freeze. Drake went to the sofa and asked, “What brings you here?”

“I missed you, new pianist.” Yvonne cooed, striding closer. “Is that so wrong? I heard you’ve hired a…”

Drake leaned back, casually reaching out to twirl a damp lock of Yvonne’s hair between his fingers. “So what, are you jealous?”

Yvonne’s lips tightened in displeasure. “I’ve already had someone smash the piano. You know I don’t like anyone touching what’s mine.”

“Well, I’ll buy you a new one tomorrow.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“And what about the pianist? What are you planning to do about her?”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Get rid of her. No woman other than me can be near you. The only one allowed to play you is me.”

“Alright, I’ll have Kale fire her.”

“That’s more like it.”

She leaned in to plant a kiss on his cheek. Drake didn’t flinch but stood up the next second.

“It’s late. Go to sleep.”

“You’re not sleeping with me?”

“I have work to do. You can sleep here.”

“You don’t want to sleep with me?” Yvonne trembled, taking hold of him. “Do you find me… dirty?”

“How could I?” Drake softened his tone, going over to kiss her cheek. “I really have work to do. Just rest here. If you need anything, ask Kale.”

With that, he turned and left the room.

Yvonne’s composure shattered. She sprang from the sofa, grabbed a pillow, and hurled it at the door.

Kale heard the sound and asked, “Miss Sharp, do you have any orders?”

“Get lost!” Yvonne snapped.

Kale didn’t need to be told twice. He quickly backed out, leaving her alone with her fury.

By noon the next day, Debra stirred awake, rubbing her eyes and sensing a presence. She got up and found Drake in the room.

“Drake?” she gasped. “What are you doing here?”

“Get up.”

“Why?”

“Just get up,” he repeated, throwing a set of clothes from the nearby sofa toward her.

Debra was confused as she stared at the clothes in her hands. Without another word, Drake turned and strode out of the room.

‘What’s with him today?’ She wondered, but given the tension in the air, she didn’t dare delay. She quickly got dressed and tiptoed out of the room, glancing around nervously.

Drake noticed her cautious approach. “What are you looking for?”

“Just checking if Miss Sharp is still around,” Debra admitted. She didn’t think Yvonne had been here just for a short visit.
