An extended Rolls-Royce crawled away from the building.

Charlotte sat in the backseat, admiring the ruby necklace. It was almost the same as the one she sold, except for the gemstone color.

“Aren’t you sick of staring at that?” Zachary looked at her while swirling the wine in the glass elegantly.

He couldn’t take his eyes off her. His gaze traveled from her porcelain skin, up her flawless face and rosy lips that would make a grown man lose his mind.

He teased the hem of her dress with his leg. When she lifted her head and their eyes met, he asked her to sit closer.

Gosh! Why can’t he read the situation? Do I have to spell it out?

His response really irked her, but she put a bright smile on her face and said, “Well, you are very kind to me. You sent me home to treat my injuries, gave me precious gifts and even stood up for me.
