Chapter 43 'Miss Hewitt, it's me." It was a low baritone, mellifluous voice, with a hint of casual laziness that disarmed its audience. Kira rubbed her earlobe. She didn't know a man's voice could be so seductive. 'Mr Cane?" "Ah, so you remember me. I'm glad." Liam chuckled. "Of course I remember you. You retrieved my purse and hence saved my life. How can I forget you?" Kira recalled the unknown caller ID. "Mr Cane, how did you get my number? "You gave it to me. Yesterday." "Did I?" Kira scratched her head.
