Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 787

Noreen reached up and touched her face.

It was burning hot.

Claire immediately saw that something was wrong.

After years of being best friends, if she couldn't spot something like this, their friendship would be pretty superficial.

She crossed her arms. "Fess up. What happened last night?"

Noreen didn't know how to begin.

It was too humiliating.

She couldn't even face herself.

The crucial part was that just a couple of days ago, she had drawn a firm line in the sand with him, and then…

Fate had a twisted sense of humor.

"Was it Mr. Joyner…?" Claire asked.

"No," Noreen denied instantly.

Now Claire was confused.

If it had been any other man, Noreen would never have reacted this way.

Only one possibility flashed through her mind.

Her expression changed drastically. "Was it that jerk Seth?"

Noreen covered her face.

The answer was obvious.

Claire felt her blood boil. "Damn it! Raiding my pantry again!"

She wanted to curse a few more times, but seeing Noreen's tightly knitted brow, she knew what her friend was worried about. She offered a breezy reassurance. "It's fine. Just think of it as a free one-night stand with a gigolo. Not a big deal."

"The key is, I didn't have to pay."

Claire's lips twitched. "Then think of it as a free night with a hot guy."

Claire's words made something in Noreen's mind click unexpectedly.

Seth had said something similar last night.

He had said, "Looks like you got me for free again."
