The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 501

How could Hailie possibly say no to the man she fancied? She nodded gently and said, “Sure thing, Balfour. Don’t you worry, I’ll get Patricia right away.”

A feeling of indescribable joy washed over her. The fact that Balfour entrusted her with taking care of Patricia affirmed her special place in his heart.

The crowd fell silent. Everyone quickly caught his drift and left.

Balfour turned to Ellinor, “Ms. Mendoza, how do you feel about running into someone you’d rather not see?”

Ellinor could sense the sarcasm in his words, but she simply replied, “Not great.”

Balfour smirked, “Ms. Mendoza, you’re brutally honest.”
