Tangled Temptations

Chapter 157

Chapter 148

Eloise's cheeks were as red as a tomato. Whenever she felt shy, her cheeks would turn a deep shade of red, making her look incredibly attractive.

Callum was staring right at her.

Eloise tried to sound calm, "Riley has already left."

Callum nodded. He looked at Eloise again, "My car is in for maintenance, so I took a taxi here earlier. Ms. Laurent, can you give me a lift?"

Eloise hesitated. The man in front of her was charismatic, but... was he always this forward?

It was their first meeting, and he was asking her for a ride home.

Eloise was innocent, but Veronica saw through it. She guessed that Riley's cousin was clearly interested in Eloise.

She had heard about Callum. A well-known gentleman from the Colman family, good-looking and highly educated. Of course, he also had high standards. Unexpectedly, he was smitten with Eloise at first sight.

Veronica, who was going through a rough patch, started plotting for Eloise. She shifted in her seat and smiled charmingly, "Eloise, he's Riley's cousin, give him a lift if you can, for my sake."

Eloise found it hard to refuse. She smiled at Callum and said, "Sure. Text me your address."

Callum might not have dated much, but it didn't mean he didn't know how to. He easily added Eloise's contact and sent her the address.

Eloise was surprised. Callum lived quite close to her. She gestured for Callum to get in the car and then started it.

On the road, Veronica did all the talking. Callum was respectful towards Riley's lover, there was no disrespect in his words, which made Eloise feel a bit fond of him.

Upon reaching the destination, Callum got out of the car. He walked up to the driver's seat and gently knocked on the window.

Eloise rolled down the window. Callum smiled and said, "Thank you, Ms. Laurent, I'll treat you to dinner some time." He lifted his phone.

Eloise smiled and agreed, thinking it was just Callum being polite. They had met by chance this time and might not meet again.
