Chapter 69

Nathan’s words snapped me out of my thoughts. I stared at him blankly. His eyes were sincere and deep. When he looked at me, I felt like I could mess with him and get away with it.

I pushed those naughty thoughts away fast and straightened my face. “Mr. Hallman, I’m not going to cheat just because he was playing the rooster.”

Nathan burst out laughing. “Is that supposed to be funny?” Today, Jared took Tracy, who had morning sickness, to the hospital for a checkup.

I wasn’t in the mood to laugh. Nathan stopped laughing and softly said, “That’s a good way to think. Don’t punish yourself for other people’s mistakes. Just be yourself. Good things and good people will always get noticed.”

His words healed a lot of my sadness right away. “You’re not trying to hit on me, are you?” I blurted out without thinking, caught up in my emotions.

Nathan looked shocked, and then his face flushed red. A pure guy really can’t resist teasing. “Uh, I mean, I can be your friend, but I won’t cross any lines,” I said honestly.

I wanted to be friends with Nathan. Having a powerful friend who could help me get ahead sounded great. Nathan looked hurt by what I said.

He said with a deep look, “I never meant to cross the line. At first, I just wanted to get to know you.”

I smiled and said, “Aren’t we already friends now?”
