After an eventful day, Faye and I decided to head home. She guided me to her car, doing her usual routine. As soon as we got in, she started the engine and reached over to hold my hand. There were times that she will let it go for a while but held afterwards.

"Where are we headed? Your place or mine?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the road.

I took a moment to think before answering, "Maybe we should go to your house? I haven't been there for a while." I shrugged.

She just nodded and smiled, knowing I always got my way. Besides, I'm her baby boss.

When we arrived at her house, I was once again amazed by its beauty and elegance. It had a modern bungalow style but still felt incredibly homely. The house was surrounded by lush plants and trees, creating a refreshing, almost provincial atmosphere in the heart of the city. The architect truly outdid themselves. They must be proud.

As we entered, the spacious living room welcomed us. The interior was slightly different from the exterior, with a touch of Western design that made it feel dark, mysterious, and sexy—just like the owner.

"Make yourself at home. I'll just head upstairs and change," she said, kissing my temple before leaving.

I wandered around the living room, admiring the furniture, home decor, and shelves. I was walking around, both hands on the back. What captured my attention most was her bookshelf. Being a bookworm, I scanned the titles, hoping to find something intriguing.

I was busy flipping book after book after book.

I found several books on business, psychology, hair magazines, and even human anatomy. Faye really had a wide range of interests.

My curiosity peaked when I noticed a small bookshelf hidden beside a liquor table. It was almost invisible at first glance. Slowly, I opened the shelf and was shocked by what I found.

"Fifty Shades of Grey? 365? Possessive book series?" I murmured. These were just a few of the many erotic books hidden inside.

How did I know? Of course, I had read some of them HAHAHHA
