Tiffany’s face reddens and I can tell she wants to give him a mouthful but holds her tongue. “Yes.”
“Yes, what?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Ivy, Izzy, come on.” He looks at us and cocks his head toward the door for us to follow him.
Isabelle picks up her bag, and the two of us leave the room with Thorne. Leaving behind a furious-as-hell Tiffany.
We stop in the hallway and I smile at him. “Thank you so much.”
“Yes, thank you,” Isabelle says, hugging her bag to her chest.
“No worries.” Thorne looks from Isabelle to me. “How long has this been going on?”
“Pretty much since we started.” I bite the inside of my lip.
Thorne’s brows snap together. “Why the hell didn’t you say something?”
I shake my head. “I didn’t want to cause trouble.”
He looks at Isabelle, who shakes her head like me.
“I don’t have anyone like you to turn to,” she speaks in a lowly voice.
“That’s never been true, Lolita.” He looks at her little dress and gives her a kind smile. It’s strange seeing him be the hero.
It pulls on my heart when Isabelle looks like she’s about to burst into tears. I know that’s to do with the whole thing with Kade. Tiffany talking to us like we’re shit didn’t help. But this has.
“Thank you, Thorne.” She smiles at him, then looks at me.
“You’re welcome, Izzy.”
“I’ll leave you guys to enjoy your evening.”
She nods at us both then heads down the corridor.
Thorne’s already looking at me when I return my focus to him.
“Wrong move, Bambi. Wrong move. The last time Tiffany did shit to you, you got in trouble.”
“I know.”
“Make sure you tell me if she does anything else. You hear me?”
“Yes… my lord,” I tease, giving him a playful smile. He smirks. “How come you’re here. I thought I was going to meet you.”
“Change of plan. I have a surprise for you.”
My hopes rise with excitement of what this surprise could be. “What is it?”
“It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you, would it?”
“Not so much.”
He grins and tugs on the hem of my shirt. “Pack a bag. You’re going to be away for two nights.”
“We’re going away?”
