Chapter 4

Yvette thought of Wilson's charming and seductive smile. Her long lashes fluttered slightly as her slender finger tapped on the prompt to accept his request.

"Stay safe on your way back. Let me know when you get home," came his message.

Yvette didn't reply, her expression unchanged as she put her phone back into her pocket.

Inside the car, Wilson glanced at the message he sent her that was left on read.

He wore a captivating smile as he thought of Yvette as quite the aloof person.

Samuel watched that scene from the rearview mirror. His thoughts were racing as he finally understood what happened.

The reason Wilson played along with that girl's act was to get her contact information.

He realized that Wilson was cunning for tricking an innocent girl like that! That said, Samuel had never seen Wilson that interested in anyone before. Could it be that he had taken a liking to that girl? The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was.

That girl looked barely 18, and Wilson said he wouldn't act like a monster!

It was a complete turnabout, an ironic slap in the face.

Yvette smirked and began walking down the stairs with
