One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 51 Audrey

I stepped out of Edwin's sleek black car, and my eyes widened into saucers as I took in the gleaming storefront in front of us. This wasn't some run-of-the-mill electronics shop-it was one of those high-end places where they kept the really expensive stuff. Like... Really expensive.

It wasn't long before a peppy sales associate with a sleek blonde ponytail and a smile that could kill bounded over to us.

"Welcome! How can I help you today?"

Edwin nodded at me with his arms folded across his chest. "She needs a new phone. The best

The associate beamed, either not noticing or choosing to ignore the sudden deep redness in my face. "Right this way!"
