The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 199

Shakira widened her eyes but eventually backed down under Walter's silent and cold gaze. She shuffled over and obediently settled into Walter's outstretched arm, comfortably nestled in his embrace. Whether it was just in her head or not, her earlobe felt warm from his pinch, and it seemed like the heat had spread to her cheeks, making them blush slightly. Brian, who was driving, thoughtfully raised the partition between the front and back seats.

The car had always had this feature, but it had never been used over the years. Now that Walter was dating Shakira, it seemed like the partition would stay up from now on.

Shakira watched wide-eyed as the partition came up, her eyes wide like saucers. "What's Brian up to?" It felt like they were sneaking around doing something mischievous in the back seat!

Walter raised an eyebrow and praised. "Hmm, it's the end of the year. I should give Brian a raise."

Shakira leaned against Walter's chest, looking up from below. She was surprised that even from this angle, Walter's face was still so handsome and captivating.

She grumbled, "So you came over without saying anything just to get me to intern at the Lopez Group?" Waker replied, "You not allowed me to do that?"

He admitted it rather quickly, which caught Shakira a bit by surprise. Shakira scratched her face and said, "I didn't mean that. It's just that if it's all random, then wherever I'm picked to go, I'll go. No need to push it."

Walter, done with his grand task of ear lobe squeezing and now bored, let his thumb wander absently along Shakira's temple. As he touched her soft hair, he unexpectedly felt a pleasant mood.

"So even if I came, you still got the Lopez Group by drawing lots, so my coming or not doesn't make a difference," said Walter. Shakira felt a bit dizzy from Walter's roundabout logic. She couldn't shake the feeling that he was seriously talking nonsense.

"Besides..." Walter lowered his gaze. His eyes intently locked onto Shakira's. "Isn't this the gift you wanted?"

Shakira instantly lost her cool, pushing Walter away and sitting up straight. "When did I ever ask you for this gift?"

Walter narrowed his eyes, took out his phone, and opened their morning chat log. He pointed at Shakira's read, "That's all?"
