Estrella pulled out her lipstick and mirror from her purse, touching up her makeup with an unfazed expression, “Mr. Jason, let’s keep the public displays of affection out of the public. eye, shall we? Don’t interfere with my man-hunting.”

After running his thumb over his lips, Jason’s eyes sharpened as he looked toward Estrella, but someone rounded the corner. “Mr. Jason.”
