For someone as attractive as Marcus, it was no surprise that she had eyes on him all the time.

“Thanks again for helping me out today, Mr. White. And thank you for dinner, as well.”

Having noticed my movements, Marcus looked at me. In a low voice, he asked if I was full.

I nodded and smiled faintly at him.

He put down his cutlery as well and wiped his mouth clean in a graceful gesture. “Let’s go then.”
