Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 973

Although she might have been overthinking it, Claire was still surprised.

Didn't he have a luxury mansion in Northcrest?

Why was he staying in a hotel?

Wilbur seemed to read the confusion in her eyes and casually explained, "My house is being renovated."

"Oh," Claire replied.

She awkwardly rubbed her nose.

He didn't need to explain that to her at all.

Just like tonight, he could have completely ignored her.

After all, their relationship was barely that of a friend of a friend.

They entered the elevator together, and Wilbur asked her floor.

"Eighteen."

Wilbur pressed the button for her.

He was staying in the presidential suite on the twenty-seventh floor.

As the elevator approached the eighteenth floor, Wilbur suddenly asked, "Do you want some dessert?"

The question was so unexpected that Claire didn't process it in time, instinctively nodding.

"Then let's go straight to my room."

Wait, wasn't it a bit late for that?

The problem was she had already agreed, and backing out now felt a bit too late.

Whatever, making excuses would just make her look awkward.

Claire stayed on the executive floors of this hotel ninety percent of the time she visited Northcrest.

This was her first time visiting the presidential suite.

It was... definitely luxurious.

It even had a full kitchen.

After Wilbur walked in and took off his jacket, he went straight to the kitchen.

Not long after, he brought out a few desserts.

Judging by the dates, they were fresh.

She remembered Wilbur mentioning he liked sweets, but she hadn't expected his obsession to run so deep that he kept them stocked even in a hotel room.
