By this point, his meeting was
shoot to kick off, so Malcolm shoved those thoughts aside,
“Alright, let’s get this meeting started “
Reese, who was eavesdropping by the door, heard them drop the topic and suck back to her room with a sly grin. Good thing she had Calvin set everything
up beforehand.
Otherwise, if Malcolm really dug into her past, he’d uncover everything. It sucked she didn’t snag that fancy bracelet today, but who was Malcolm buying it for anyway?

She was stuck and had to let it go, even though it bugged her.
After munching on some BBQ and zoning out in front of the TV for a bit, Malcolm barged in. Reese quickly cleaned up the table and got to her feet.
“You’re done with work. I’ll go get things ready.“”
“Yeah” Malcolm’s tone was flat. Reese figured he was just beat and went to prep the herbs and needles for his bath and acupuncture.
When Malcolm finished his bath, he coughed lightly as he walked back into the room. “Considering hear you’ve been all over taking care of me lately, I should show some gratitude.”

Seeing her freaked out look, Malcolm flicked her forehead.
“What are you thinking? I’m talking about a gift for you.”
Reese instinctively touched her forehead, looking at Malcolm all puzzled.
“What this about?”
Malcolm pulled out a delicate hos from under the pillow and handed it to her.

Reese couldnt stop grinning. “Of course I love it. This is…
She paused, almost giving herself away.
Noticing her shift in expression, Malcolm raised an eyebrow
“This is what?
Reese threw her head back and laughed heartily. This is from my dearest husband.”
To show her appreciation, she even wrapped her arms around Malcolm’s neck and planted a kiss on his handsome face.
Malcolm was momentarily taken aback, then a barely–there smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
This gift was well deserved.
The next morning, Reese was the first one downstairs for breakfast. She’d been tipped off about a regular meeting that morning and was specifically reminded not to be late, so she got up early.
While munching on her breakfast, Alyssa’s sharp eyes zeroed in on the bracelet on Reese’s wrist, and her eyes nearly popped out.
“Wait a minute… isn’t that the bracelet that went for ten million dollars at the auction yesterday? How the heck is it on your wrist?”
