She didn’t look at him, but stared down at the table as, for a few seconds, her mind ran wild with speculation, dangerous fantasies jostling her like last night’s dreams.
Then she forced a shrug, only to wish she hadn’t as her bruises kicked back. ‘How about, “Thank you—but I’m here with someone.”?’
Rome’s mouth twisted. ‘He seemed to be doing a great job.’
‘That’s none of your business,’ Cory fought back. ‘Will you please accept, Mr d’Angelo, that I don’t need a saviour, or a Prince Charming either.’
‘And your circle of friends is complete, too.’ He was smiling faintly, but those incredible eyes glinted with challenge. ‘So what is left, I wonder? Which of your needs is not being catered for?’
Cory’s face was burning again, but with anger rather than embarrassment. She said, ‘My life is perfectly satisfactory, thank you.’
He was unperturbed by the snap in her voice. ‘No room for improvement anywhere?’
‘I have simple tastes.’
‘Yet you wear Christian Dior,’ he said. ‘You’re more complicated than you think.’
Suddenly breathless, Cory reached down for her tote bag, jerking it towards her. Then rose. ‘Thanks for the coffee,’ she said. ‘And for the character analysis. I hope you don’t do it for a living. Goodbye, Mr d’Angelo.’
He got to his feet, too. His smile held real charm. ‘Until next time—Miss Grant.’
She’d almost reached the door when she realised what he’d said, and swung round, lips parting in a gasp of angry disbelief.
But Rome d’Angelo wasn’t there. He must have used the exit that led straight to the street, she realised in frustration.
Her mouth tightened. So, he liked to play games. Well, she had no intention of joining in—or of rising to any more of his bait.
