Chapter 175 Recommending Himself

Corrine's gaze lingered on Nate's meticulously buttoned collar. The subtle curve of his Adam's apple, now partially visible, only heightened the allure of his features, making him seem even more captivating than before.

Her brows knitted together as she pressed her lips into a thin line, taking in the fac that seemed to cast a spell on everyone around him. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was always because of this face.

Nate noticed the slight furrow in her brow, his expression curious. "Still upset?"

A slow smile curved across Corrine's lips, her gaze becoming playful as she met his eyes. "Mr. Hopkins, your charm is truly unmatched. No wonder you seem to captivate

everyone you meet."

"Well, hearing that from you, I must admit, it's a bit of an ego boost," Nate said with a smirk. He tightened his hold around her waist, pulling her closer, and then teasingly pinched the soft flesh at her side. "I didn't realize I was that charming"

Corrine's expression flattened, but her thoughts were anything but calm.

What a show-off.

Nate caught the fleeting look on her face and chuckled, enjoying the playful tension between them. "I wonder, though... are you perhaps interested in me?"

His voice, smooth and seductive, drifted into her ear, sending a wave of warmth down her spine. Corrine's breath hitched, her heart suddenly fluttering in her chest.

She didn't answer right away, simply keeping her eyes fixed on him, the silence between them thick with unspoken words.
