Chapter 42 - a little bite in her bark... (1/2)

...She couldn't wait to spill the tea to Precious.

Once they had gotten out of Chris sight, she dropped the act.

”I am sorry I had to do that.”

With their arms still linked. ”I am not sorry at all. I love a girl with a little bite in her bark.” He couldn't help but admire how she stood up for herself without going overboard.

”Who is he really?” Su Yan had guessed he might actually be an ex but he wanted to be as sure as the sun.

”We dated for a while, in school.” he led her to the lift as she briefly told him how the relationship had been just a convenience she thought she needed. He could easily tell she had liked him but her feelings had been on a leash.

They came out to the landing of the 10th story of the building without her realizing as she had been talking the whole way up. But the décor of the foyer cut her words short. It was more than a breathtaking view.

Su Yan was totally outdoing himself.

A well dressed chaperon walked up to the two of them ”The private lounge is ready for you Miss Tale.”

She wasn't sure how to respond but she smiled sweetly to the man before turning to Su Yan.

He knew she was going to be worried about what he thought so he spoke up before she could.

”I know the owner, he owed me a favor or two.” he gave her what he hoped to be his best smile as he said it as casual as possible.

Her eyes shone with uncertainty then realization. ”So you are calling in that favour in exchange for dinner?”

”No I'm calling in that favor in exchange for dinner. With you.” she looked up at him then. She didn't need to say another word for he could see how happy she was.

”Thank you.” she mouthed.

”It's your night. It's the least I could do for my fake girlfriend.”

She laughed then for she had completely forgotten about seeing Chris again.
