Ray frowned at her voice. Why did it sound like that beast?

He quickly dismissed the thought. How could that ugly duckling compare to the beauty before him? Her skin was glowing, her lips fresh and plump like newly blossomed roses.

He teased Connor, “Look at you, fancying this type, huh!”

Ray draped an arm over Connor’s shoulder winking, “Did you have a change of heart? I always said that ugly girl wasn’t right for you. Look how much better this is, a handsome man and a beautiful lady, quite the sight.”

Connor shot him a cold glance, but he remained unfazed, leaning back in his chair with an air of ease.

Ray, unfazed, chewed on his shrimp, grinning at Flora, “So, beauty, what’s your name?”
