I jokingly glared at him, which only made him laugh more. “You should invest in kiss-proof lipstick,” he said. “I might kiss you often,” he sai
I gulped while I felt my cheeks heating up. I secretly released a slow breath. Why did it suddenly feel hot? I saw Arzhel glance at me. Poker-faced, then he opened the folder in front of him, acting innocent. I composed myself and focused on the presentation. After almost an hour, Janna and Etha
After Janna left, I busied myself with work. I looked at the pile of contracts in front of me. “Wow,” I said and smiled while I shook my head. Then I started to get and read some contracts there. The first contract was about a celebrity who wanted to collab with us for her incoming birthday cele
