The Billionaire and His PA novel Chapter 111

"Good morning. I’m Dorothea Sinclair and welcome to today’s session of Under the Spotlight. I am sure that some of you are wondering where I am today and why this background looks different. That’s because, for this interview, I left the studio to conduct this interview in the home of our guest who is no stranger to the spotlight.” Dorothea announced.

“Sure,” Cassie said. “As most of you already know, I was taken from a supermarket when I went shopping with my boyfriend, Felix. It happened when I doubled back to get some milk. Once they saw me leave Felix, they had put up a caution sign for wet floors and then, they injected me with a sedative and took me out through the back door.”
