Shakira's soft and confused voice hit Walter's heart. He had received a call from Levi, learning that Fiona and Jaslene had come to give

a hard time.

Although he knew Shakira was strong and never let anyone take advantage of her, he still worried. He dropped everything at work and rushed back without a second thought. But when he saw her, the first thing she said was... Walter was feeling all sorts of emotions and barely heard Shakira's sweet voice asking. "If you don't like me, why is there a photo of me on your desk? Are you secretly planning to strangle me or something?" Walter took a sharp breath and spoke in a voice that was so rough, "Who told you I have a photo on my

desk?"

"Fiona." Shakira tilted her head, looking like she was still thinking hard. "She came over just to show me the photo. She thought it was someone else and even said I'm a stand-in or something-"

Walter cursed quietly to himself. He took a deep breath and said, "It's the picture Brian took from outside when we were watching a movie."

Shakira finally understood and said, "Oh, so Brian took it. I was wondering." She smirked slightly and continued, "I didn't expect Brian to capture such a vibe in the photo."

Walter, for once, agreed, "It's a nice photo."

Shakira gave

Walter a sidelong glance and continued, "Nice enough for you to keep it on your desk, huh?" Her tone was playful and relaxed as if she didn't take it too seriously. Walter, for

some reason, didn't want to just brush this off. His deep eyes locked onto Shakira.

"Yes, you're right. I like you," said Walter.

The moment Walter confirmed it, Shakira was once again caught in a daze. Walter was still all over the place, feeling a panic he couldn't control, and his large hand on Shakira's arm trembled slightly, with undeniable warmth coming off it. But Walter didn't wait for Shakira to turn around and continued, "I've never felt this can tell you that I've never had the desire to possess any other woman besides you.
