Chapter 1451

Ruben was just as surprised.

"Kailee, you've got a boyfriend now?"

Kailee nodded, a smug smile lighting up her face.

"Yeah, and he's a real looker."

Lewis's face turned even colder. "You mean that King guy? Didn't he just get married? Are you trying to be the other woman here?"

Kailee's frown deepened, annoyed that Lewis seemed to know everything about her personal life.

He's waiting for me at home and will get mad if I'm late." What a load of nonsense. She'd been chasing after King for years, just to be constantly overlooked.
