#Chapter 160: Role Reversal

Two days later, I was sitting in my bed playing cards with Theo when the door opened, and my nurse poked her head in. “Ms. Elena? There’s a Wendy Lowell here to see you.” I smiled. “Sure. Send her in.” Theo’s face went pale. Maybe I should head out or see if David can switch me for the rest of the day. He and Charles ought to be here to eat lunch with you soon.” I laughed. “You’ve been single for a while now. If she’s still that desperate, maybe you could get lucky before she leaves.” He scowled at me. “Nothing about being with her would be lucky.” “What’s lucky?” Wendy asked, coming through the door in a wave of her peony scent. She paused and scanned Theo head to toe, letting out a low growl of approval. “I’ve missed you, Tasty-boy.” Theo bolted from his seat. “I’ll give you ladies some privacy and go talk to the guard in the hall.” He rushed past her, and Wendy actually swiveled to watch his backside head out the door. “You’ve still got a thing for my guard,” I pointed out.
