“I was supposed to sign the contracts to become a capital investor in a company I had been dealing with for the past several months. It was a multi-million-dollar deal, and I got to thinking about how much I lost in Vegas.”

“Go on.” I smiled.

“It’s not a big deal, Chloe. I just thought that maybe this deal wasn’t supposed to happen right now, so I didn’t sign the contracts. Needless to say, they were not happy.”

“That’s too bad for them. You did the right thing.” I winked before sipping my wine.

We talked mostly about the exhibition, my job, Sienna and Sam, and nothing personally about him. So, I decided to turn it into a game.

“I want to play a game.”

“Oh?” His brow arched. “What kind of game?”

“A personal game. It’s a great way to get to know each other. I’ll start.”

I could tell by the expression on his face that he was on the fence about it.

“My favorite color is yellow.” I pointed at him.

“Black.”

“My favorite food is chicken.” I pointed at him.

“Lobster.

“My favorite kind of flower is the gerbera daisy.” I pointed at him.

“You don’t like roses?” He cocked his head.

“Yes. Answer the question.”

“Orchids.”

“Really?” I smiled.

“If I had to pick one favorite flower, it would be them.”

“I was sixteen when I lost my virginity.” I pointed at him.

“Fifteen.” He smiled.

“With who?” I cocked my head.

“Doesn’t matter.”

“I was homeschooled until the age of ten.” I pointed at him.

He didn’t say anything and got up from his seat. “That was fun, but I think we should go inside now.”

“What’s wrong?” I asked as I grabbed my glass and followed him inside.

“Nothing. I want to make something very clear to you. My past and childhood are off limits.”

“I don’t understand.” I frowned.

He ran his hand through his hair. “I don’t talk about my past to anyone, including you.”

“But why?” I asked in a soft voice as I stepped closer to him.
