Chapter 52
Madeline listened to it a few more times, and her face gradually reddened each time. She didn’t expect Lance to actually say such sweet and assuring words in his voice note.
She thought he would curse at her for breaking their contract or maybe call her a slut for two-timing him, though they weren’t even dating in the first place.
She also thought getting called baby by Lance felt different than when she got called ’babe’ by Zane.
Madeline felt her body melting into a puddle of goo when she heard how Lance had pleaded with her not to sleep with Zane.
’Dummy, of course, I won’t do that. I’m not an easy woman who’d sleep with a man I barely know,’ Madeline told herself. ’Besides, I’m pretty sure Zane won’t do that as well. He is an A-list Hollywood megastar. He wouldn’t end his own acting career for a super hated mega-bitch like me.’
Madeline giggled as she listened to the recording once more. The last sentence from Lance was enough to make her feel like she had been lifted to heaven.
