Chapter 36

 Before I could react, Enzo dragged Kyle away from me by his collar. 

“A verbal thank you would be enough,” Enzo snapped, his face a little sullen. 

Kyle laughed dryly and kept glancing upstairs; I immediately understood what he meant. Kyle had probably brought his date home, but he didn’t want Lilla and Enzo to know. 

The most important thing to do now was to get Enzo and Lilla away. I focused on the unfinished red wine glass and pretended to head to the sofa to sit down.

Can you help me?” My face must be burning red like fire right now. Lilla had just found a dress to fit me. A teasing smile appeared on her face when he heard that. God, what the heck was I saying? I really wanted to bite my tongue off. Enzo chuckled. “Okay, I’ll help you.” His eyebrows were
