Damian Fairchild's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly replied in a flat tone:
"No need to rush me out. If you hadn't shown up at The Shogun's Manor to corner me, I'd be in bed with my wife and child right now."
Seraphina Quinn's fingers curled into a fist. Her heart seized, and a sharp pain shot through her.
"Since you showed up at my door first and tried to seduce me second, I figured I might as well have a little something on the side. Besides, my wife's health isn't great. When a free, perfectly serviceable woman offers herself up, how could I possibly turn her away?"
As he spoke, Damian Fairchild took his suit jacket from the coat rack.
He slowly and deliberately put on the jacket, his sharp eyes lingering for a moment on Seraphina Quinn, who was staring down at the tips of her toes.
