One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

"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!"

Within moments, I was lost in my own little world, sketching out a dress design that had been floating around in my head for days. "That's impressive." Edwin's voice startled me out of my creative trance. I hadn't even noticed him coming
