so much better now.’ Madeline had been born in the year of the snake. Nice to know in advance how incompatible she and Luke truly were.

      ‘Monkey is better fit for you. Even Ox. Find out his birth year.’

      ‘Will do. So can you do up a tray of something?’

      ‘Of course,’ said Yun. ‘Something for harmony and relaxation.’

      ‘Perfect.’ Madeline could use some harmony and relaxation, what with her incompatible love life and all. She started across the high-gloss white marble floor, only to whirl back around with a new question. ‘What should I wear?’

      ‘A dress shaped for beauty, a smile for serenity, and your antique jade hairpin,’ said Yun. ‘For luck.’

      Luke Bennett was a punctual man, discovered Madeline as the state-of-the-art security cameras showed him summoning the private lift to the apartment block’s foyer area at five minutes to seven that evening. Madeline had taken Yun’s advice and wore a fitted deep-green dress that emphasised her assets and the green flecks in her eyes. Yun had helped wind her hair up into an elegant roll, secured with many hidden pins. The jade hairpin came last—with its five silver threads studded with tiny oyster pearls.

      ‘Stop fidgeting,’ said Yun, and prepared to open the door. ‘He’s just a man.’

      ‘Right.’ Just a man.

      A man who wore dark grey dress trousers and a crisp white shirt with an ease she’d never expected of him. A man whose elegant clothes served only to emphasise the raw power and masculinity of the body beneath. His dark hair was tousled and his face could have launched a thousand fantasies and probably had. It was the eyes that did it—those magnificent tawny eyes.

      ‘You’re no Monkey,’ said Yun accusingly. ‘And you definitely no Ox.’

      Luke Bennett stared down at the tiny woman whose head barely topped his elbow. ‘No,’ he said as his bemused and oddly helpless gaze cut to Madeline. ‘I’m not.’

      A helpless Luke Bennett settled Madeline’s butter-flies considerably. ‘Yun, this is Luke Bennett. Luke, meet Yun, my housekeeper.’

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
