“Clarify this for me. How am I dependent on you?”
Karina scoffed, “Brian knows that we’re business partners. Out of consideration for me, he’s refrained

So, that was the truth?
A flicker of curiosity sparked in Barlow’s eyes.

Her eyes were brimming with emotion, her pretty face slightly distorted with indignation.
Barlow couldn’t help but tease her. “Are you worried about me?

Confronted with the truth, Karina was left both flustered and irritated.
She glared at him and shouted, “Barlow, don’t flatter yourself! It’s you who has feelings for me!

The man’s comments were incredibly irritating. The tenderness he had shown moments ago had

As Karina gazed at him, she felt a surge of self-deprecation.
