Rose with Thorns

Chapter 10

The WhatsApp text from Wilson read, “Don’t forget you still owe me a meal”

As Yvette read it, she couldn’t help picturing, Wikon flirtatiously and arrogantly smirking. She pursed her lips while typing a simple “okay” and sent it to him. At the same time, she changed his contact name to “Womanizer”

Wilson sat in the main seat at Royal Pavillion. His devilishly handsome face was devoid of emotion. He also radiated an overbearing presence, deterring others free dating to approach him.
