Chapter 1373

“I believe you.”

Luella nodded, a faint, approving smile curving her lips. “Don’t worry, that seat is already yours.”

With that handled, Luella slipped quietly out of the Political Council building through the underground garage.

Needing to blow off some steam, she decided to hit a hotel.

She pushed open the door to the presidential suite. Just as she bent down to take off her shoes, a dark shadow materialized behind her.

Her survival instincts flared instantly, and she threw a vicious backward kick without hesitating.

Jimmie Tate instantly dodged, the toe of the girl’s shoe just barely grazing a lock of his hair.

“Jimmie?”

Recognizing the intruder, Luella stood frozen for a few seconds before launching herself at him with a delighted gasp. “What are you doing here? Am I dreaming?”

Jimmie caught her seamlessly, his arms locking around her as he brought his lips crashing down on hers.

The kiss was frantic and deeply demanding, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

It wasn’t until he accidentally bit her lip, causing her to wince slightly with a soft furrow of her brows, that he finally pulled back.

Jimmie eased his hold, his eyes dark and impossibly soft. “Still think you’re dreaming?”

“Nope.”

Luella shook her head, her arms wrapping tightly around his neck as she boldly flipped the script, taking the initiative to kiss him back.

Tangled in each other’s embrace, they stumbled backward and fell onto the massive bed.

When they opened their eyes again, three hours had passed.

Luella was sprawled face-down on the mattress, so utterly exhausted she couldn’t even bring herself to twitch a finger.

“I missed you.”

Jimmie leaned over, wrapping his arms around her waist as he pressed soft kisses to her earlobe. “I’ve been here for two days, but I didn’t want to interrupt your work, so I held off on calling.”

Who knew this wildcat would willingly deliver herself right to his door today?

“What about you? Did you miss me?”

“A little.”

Luella rolled over to face him. Her cheeks were flushed a beautiful, enticing rosy pink that made a person want to bite them.

“Just a little?” Jimmie tapped her perfect nose, a low, sexy chuckle vibrating in his chest. “Luella, you were very enthusiastic earlier.”

“Shut up.”

Luella’s face burned hotter, and she buried her head under the covers.

“I won’t tease you.”

Jimmie smiled faintly, reaching for her phone and handing it to her. “Your father

called you multiple times. It might be an emergency.”

“Of course he’s panicking. Death is knocking at his door.”

Luella arched an eyebrow, a cold, ruthless smirk touching her lips as she sat up to get dressed “Ineed to head back. Keep yourself entertained.”

“Mhm.”

Jimmie helped her dress and walked her to the door, his hands resting naturally on her hips. “Call me when you’re done. I’ll be in Stellara Country for the next few days.

“Deal.”

Luella stood on her tiptoes and pressed a quick kiss to the corner of

“I will.”

Jimmie cupped her cheek, his eyes full of reluctance as he watched her leave.

He waited until the elevator doors sealed shut before stepping back into his room.

What he completely failed to notice was the tiny, perfectly concealed camera lens blinking from a nearby shadowed alcove.

The reporter holding the camera was practically screaming with pure ecstasy. Oh my god!

What had he just captured on film?!

A-list superstar Jimmie Tate’s secret romance!

Not only was Jimmie Tate off the market, but his lover was a man!

No wonder he had been flying out to Stellara Country constantly lately-he was coming to see his secret lover.

The moment this video hit the internet, it was going to cause a global meltdown. The traffic would be astronomical.

Yes! His golden ticket had finally arrived.

Luella finished dealing with Lachlan’s frantic demands.

Just as she stepped out of the study, her phone vibrated with a breaking news alert.

She had a standing alert set for Jimmie.

Anything newsworthy involving him was pushed directly to her feed.

She tapped the notification.

A glaring, sensational headline screamed back at her:

#Superstar Jimmie Tate’s Romance Exposed! Is His Partner a Man?!#

Below the headline was the crystal-clear photo of the two of them kissing right outside the hotel elevator.

The retweets, likes, and comments were skyrocketing by the second.

Luella froze in her tracks, the blood completely draining from her face.
