certainly bring this to trial.”

How did everything get so messed up? I wasn’t planning on bringing him to court, just kicking him

off my table so I could go lick my wounds.

“No,” Master Aiden growls. “There’s no need for a lawsuit. God.”

“For a prominent surgeon, I’m surprised you don’t know that what you did was wrong. Surely you

have massage therapists working in your orthopedic office. Would you ask that of any of them?”

Master Aiden’s eyes land on mine again, his expression unreadable, as if a mask slid into place.

“I didn’t read it. Okay? Is that what you want to hear? It’s the truth. I skimmed it and saw the words
