Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 204

Russel replied, “Yeah, her funds are solid, but starting a new company is always tricky. Neither her connections nor her rep can hold a candle to yours. No

need to sweat it.”

“If it’s a fair game, I wouldn’t be worried. But I fear Bonnie might play dirty”

“Right, tackle the problems as they come.” I said, perking up. Then I asked Russel, “What brings you here?”

I’m off today, so I thought I’d pick you up for lunch” Russel said with a gentle smile. “You’ve lost some weight. You should eat more.”

A bit helpless, I replied. “But I just can’t seem to put on any pounds. I wish I had some curves too. I put on a bit while I was abroad these past couple of years. Better than before, right?”

Russel reached out and pinched my arm, then circled it with his hand, comparing it. Worry flashed across his face. “You’re still too thin. I’m worried you’re

malnourished”

He had made my arm itch, and I couldn’t help but laugh. I quickly pulled my arm away Tm ticklish!”

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Russel’s mouth. “So if you tease me, I’ll tickle you.”

He really thought I would tease him? I laughed, standing on my tiptoes to pinch his handsome face. “Try me?”

Our sweet exchanges seemed like those of a loving couple. But I knew that I was working hard to become a real couple with Russel; it wasn’t just for

appearances.

Although I didn’t get the same thrilling tension with him as I did with Neil, I didn’t mind the physical contact with him.

Maybe if we stick with it, we’ll end up with a happy ending.
