Veronica's POV
"Your stepmother."
Leonardo's brow creased, but he stayed quiet.
I let out a cold laugh. "Clyde had a photo of your stepmother stashed in his room. What's that supposed to mean? Were they having an affair?"
Leonardo's sharp features turned toward me. "Didn't know you were such a gossip."
I slipped the photo away and kept searching, talking as I worked. "Women are born curious. Speaking of which, you're this big-shot CEO of Nelson Enterprises, Aurelia City's most eligible bachelor, and you don't even have rumors about a girlfriend. Know what people are whispering?"
"What?"
"That you're terrible in bed. Such a shame!"
My offhand comment struck a nerve. Leonardo bristled immediately. He could handle teasing, but questioning his manhood? That crossed a line.
"You actually listen to that garbage?"
