After Watson left, Allison turned to Joshua and gave him a playful glare. “Why do you two always start bickering the second you see each other?”
Joshua just grinned, that familiar smirk tugging at his lips. “You should ask him. He’s the one who started with the attitude.”
“Enough already,” Allison sighed, shaking her head. “You didn’t actually have something to ask me, did you?”
“Allie, you catch on too quick.” His eyes danced with mischief, voice low and irresistibly smooth. “Honestly, I just wanted an excuse to have dinner with you.”
“Knew it,” Allison said, already making her way over to her white McLaren P1.
Joshua’s smile widened as he watched her go. That car—he’d given it to her last year. After their breakup, he’d said things he regretted, and he knew if he tried to give her a car himself, she’d never accept it. So he’d had Brian do it for him. To this day, Allie had no idea it was from him.
Since Brooklyn started working for her, Allison brought her everywhere. Brooklyn wasn’t just her bodyguard anymore—she was also her driver.
As they got closer to the car, Joshua finally noticed Brooklyn behind the wheel. His smile faded. The McLaren only had two seats: Brooklyn driving, Allison in the passenger seat. Where did that leave him?
Allison glanced back at him, a teasing smile on her lips. “Sorry, Mr. Fisher, there’s no room for you. Guess I’ll be going on ahead.”
She was about to get in when Joshua casually leaned against the door, blocking her way. “Let me drive. Tonight, I’ll be your chauffeur and bodyguard.”
“Oh?” Allison raised an eyebrow. “How much do you charge per day, Mr. Fisher?”
“On the house.”

Allison buckled her seatbelt. “I’m good with anything.”

Allison had been there a couple of times before. Everything was flown in from overseas, the chef was from France, and every dish felt like a work of art.

She’d said she was fine with anything, but the truth was, Joshua had picked exactly the place she loved.
The whole place felt romantic, with soft piano music drifting through the air, making everything seem just a little bit more magical.
