Yasmine froze, feeling breathless as his warm, strong hand rested on her forehead. When he finally pulled it away, her gaze followed his hand as it slipped into his pocket. "I'm not running a fever," she said firmly.

My dishes can cost up to 30 thousand dollars. But they had me peeling potatoes and garlic. I haven't done such trivial work in years. You have to make Yonas give me a raise."

Chuck whined to Yasmine, his voice growing quieter when he caught sight of Yonas.
