Sebastian stepped out of his faculty office and nearly collided with his fiancée, Gwendolyn Harrington.
For once, his first instinct wasn't to escape.
"Sebastian!" Gwen beamed, delighted he wasn't bolting like a postman chased by a dog. "I'm showing fifteen pieces at the gallery this weekend. I wanted to invite you first."
"Miss Harrington," he replied with a measured smile. "Would you like to sit in on my class today?"
Her heart soared. Not only was he speaking to her, but he was also inviting her into his world. The rumors about him ending their engagement had to be lies. She'd secured his parents' favor; he wouldn't risk his place in the Remington family.
New money she might be, the second-generation heiress to an electronics empire, but she'd carved her way into elite circles. Soon she'd have a legacy name to seal it.
She tried to be attentive in class, even answering when she was wrong. Sebastian endured it.
