Chapter 104\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany didn\u2019t get home until ten, having spent the evening dealing with the ticket\u00a0<\/p>\n
arrangements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had just slipped off her shoes in the entryway when she heard movement from the kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSilas?\u201d she called out uncertainly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas was leaning casually against the counter, a bottle of mineral water fresh from the fridge in his hand, its surface already fogged with condensation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked as though he\u2019d just finished showering, a bathrobe draped loosely over his body, the open collar revealing firm, defined abs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He twisted the cap open and took a drink, his Adam\u2019s apple bobbing as a thin trail of water slid down his jaw, traced his abdomen, and disappeared beneath the robe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tone was as languid and teasing as ever. \u201cBack already, Miss Workaholic?\u201d The mischief in his eyes was unmistakable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany walked over and cleared her throat. \u201cAbout that\u2026 Thank you. Oscar told me that you had someone step in to help.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 brows lifted slightly. Before he could reply, she held out an envelope and said, Tomorrow\u2019s Saturday. I heard there\u2019s a basketball exhibition game with some pretty big names coming. Would you be interested?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He narrowed his eyes and opened the envelope slowly. Inside was a single ticket. \u201cSo this is how you\u2019re thanking me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. Holly said you played basketball in high school, so I thought you might enjoy it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t a couple\u2019s ticket this time; it felt more like a personal invitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The proud Silas smiled. \u201cAlright. I\u2019m free that day. I\u2019ll go with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany hesitated, as if she wanted to explain that it wasn\u2019t meant that way, but in the end said nothing. She figured that seeing Oscar there later could count as a surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she didn\u2019t correct him, Silas\u2018 smile deepened. He said, \u201cGo get some rest. Don\u2019t worry about anything else.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After thanking him again, Bethany returned to her room. Silas made no effort to hide the indulgent warmth in his gaze as he looked down at the ticket.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He wondered if Bethany, this blockhead, had finally caught on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Silas woke and came out dressed casually, Jane informed him that Bethany had already\u00a0<\/p>\n
gone out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He raised an eyebrow. \u201cDo you know where Mrs. Brennan went?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure. But she was dressed up quite nicely. She probably went shopping with friends.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A satisfied smile tugged at his lips. Clearly, she was taking their date seriously. He understood. Going out with someone as handsome as him, it was only natural to be shy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m heading out. We won\u2019t be back for dinner tonight,\u201d Silas said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Jane could respond, he stepped into the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane frowned and murmured to herself, \u201cBut Mrs. Brennan said she\u2019d be home for dinner\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the way, Silas stopped by a flower shop, bought a bouquet of roses, and placed them in the truck, planning to give them to Bethany after the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a ticket in one hand and the other tucked into his pocket, he watched the crowd stream\u00a0<\/p>\n
into the arena.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the start time approached, he frowned and was about to call Bethany when an unwelcome voice sounded behind him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? Silas, you\u2019re here too? Didn\u2019t Bethany come with you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas glanced at the ticket in Oscar\u2019s hand and immediately sensed something was wrong. He asked, \u201cWhy are you here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oscar laughed. \u201cOh, Bethany said she had an extra ticket yesterday and gave it to me. I thought you two came together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 eyes narrowed. He snatched the ticket from Oscar\u2019s hand and saw that the seats were\u00a0<\/p>\n
next to each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed that he had underestimated Bethany\u2019s generosity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, why are you leaving?\u201d Oscar called after Silas, confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas shoved the tickets back into Oscar\u2019s hand. \u201cGo find one of your pretty boys to watch the game with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oscar was left speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Had Bethany misunderstood something? Or was she doing this on purpose?\u00a0<\/p>\n
