Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 116: Video

His sincerity was undeniable. The tone of his voice was so heartfelt, it tugged at me.

He stood, pointing to the card in his pocket. "I'll have this ready by tonight."

"That fast?" I raised an eyebrow.

I was expecting it to take days... but by tonight?
