Chapter 167

• After the line disconnected, Kate's hand glided down from her ears as she tilted her head towards the man whose face was mere inches away from hers. She adjusted herself on his lap with one hand wrapped around his neck. The smile on her face faded, replaced by a look of adoration as her eyes locked onto his deep emerald eyes-ones that always made her heart flutter in a maddening way she had never felt before.
• "Why are you helping me, Chris? You barely know me," she said, her voice barely audible as a flush crept up to her cheek.
• Chris's smirk was almost imperceptible, his eyes narrowing as he tugged the strand of her hair. He didn't respond but gripped the back of her neck, pulling her closer to his face.
