Chapter 175

Curtis stood at the hotel entrance, the biting wind ruffling his jacket, like a brooding statue watching their car disappear into the night.

As he slid into the passenger seat, Devin, who had witnessed the entire day’s events, cleared his throat and produced a glossy, high-definition photo from his bag.

Curtis glanced at it casually, but his eyes quickly fixed on the image.

“Where’d you get this?” he asked, lifting his gaze.

“I snagged an extra shot this morning when we were all posing for the group photo,” Devin said, a hint of pride creeping into his voice, “What do you think of the angle I picked, huh?” It was indeed a great shot, capturing only Curtis and Leanne.

The majestic mountains and the brilliant sunrise created a vivid backdrop, with the two of them standing side by side at the summit. Curtis, with his strong, chiseled features, and Leanne, with her picturesque beauty and an air of gentle grace, outshone even the breathtaking scenery behind them.

The frustration Curtis had carried down from the mountaintop seemed to ease a bit at the sight.

“You’re not so bad, kid,” he said with a half-smile.

He reached out to take the photo, but Devin pulled it back teasingly.

“I reckon this one’s worth more than hers,” Devin said with a cocky flick of the photo. “So, bro, what’s your offer?”

Curtis laughed despite himself, “You in cahoots with them now? Or maybe you’d pr ride in their tank instead?”
