“I heard you’re from the University of Moulmore’s computer science department?” Victor asked Isabella,
Isabella nodded as she started clearing the table.
“Are you planning to do an internship soon?” Victor pressed on.

As she stretched her sore limbs, preparing to rise, she found herself pinned by a warm body.
“Let’s catch a few more minutes of sleep.” The lazy male voice in the morning exuded a particularly sexy charm.
