“The gift worked,” Ian told Natalie the moment he saw her after coming to pick her up at her apartment, which she shared with a friend.
“Oh, really?” Natalie asked in a bland tone, looking at Ian’s wide smile as he suddenly turned, heading towards the car while she trailed behind him.
While choosing Nat’s jewellery for the event, Ian had his eyes glued to a particular bracelet, which he said was as dazzling as Avery’s eyes.
Natalie wasn’t sure how to feel when Ian asked her for suggestions only about things relating to his mate.
