Chapter 58


    Momentster, he and ra entered a high–end boutique, their attire and demeanor a clear signal


    of affluence. The sales associate, spotting potential big spenders, approached with a beaming


    smile. “Good afternoon, sir, miss. How may I assist you today?”


    Clutching the shirt, ra nced atn and ventured, “Mr. Hayes, what do you think of this one?”


    The sales associate chimed in, “Miss, you have exquisite taste. This is one of our store’s gems, a


    creation by the renowned designer Oli. Globally, there are only two pieces; one in this shade and


    the other in iceberg green. Perhaps the gentleman would like to try both to see which suits him


    best?”


    ra’s gaze shifted to the other shirt. “I’ll have him try both, then.”


    With the shirts in hand, she approachedn, maintaining a respectful distance, “Mr. Hayes, the


    fitting rooms are just over there. Would you mind trying these on?”


    Reluctantly putting down his phone, he replied coolly, “Lead the way.”


    ra led him to the fitting room door, but before she could speak,n had pulled her inside. The


    luxury brand’s fitting room wasvish, spacious, and surrounded by mirrors.


    Pinned against the cool ss, ra felt her chin gently lifted byn’s hand. His chiseled features


    loomed closer in her vision. Her voice came out in a rush, n, what are you doing?”


    Her fingers fumbled with the buttons of his shirt. After three were undone, the sight of his

    sculpted chest caused a tremor in her fingertips. She tried to pull away, butn’s firm grip held her


    steady, his teasing voice coaxing, “Ms. ra, it’s not like you to leave things unfinished. Continue.”


    She managed to unfasten the remaining buttons and helped him into the new shirt. Standing on


    tiptoes, she began to fasten them, but ra suddenly lost bnce, tumbling inton’s bare chest.


    The heat of his skin, the firmness of his muscles, and the steady beat of his heart – every detail


    sent her senses into disarray.


    As she tried to regain her footing,n’s hand securely encircled her waist while his voice, low and


    teasing, floated down, “Ms. ra, I suspect you’re flirting with me.”


    After speaking, he lifted her chin, a smile ying at the corners of his lips as he looked at her. “Do


    you know, sometimes I can’t resist a little flirtation either?”


    And with that, he lowered his head and captured her lips in a kiss.
