A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 133

Bella told herself that she had already kissed Jack, so letting him hold her foot like this wasn't a big deal.

But another voice in the back of her mind whispered—If she let him do this so easily, would he think she's too easy? Would he start looking down on her?

Just as she hesitated, something in the corner of her eye caught her attention.

A man and a woman had just walked into the restaurant.

The guy was tall and handsome. And the woman… was Phoebe.

Bella's lips curled into a teasing smirk.

A moment later, the two walked right past their table.

Jack, who had his back to the entrance, finally noticed Phoebe.

His body tensed slightly, and though he kept a neutral expression, a faint trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Phoebe, however, didn't see him.

She was too focused on chatting and laughing with the guy next to her. In seconds, they had walked past and taken a seat further inside.

Jack kept his face impassive, pretending not to care.

But Bella saw right through him.

Grinning mischievously, she leaned in. "Jack, did you see who just walked by? Alnewgo University's goddess, Phoebe! Why don't you go say hi?"

Jack shrugged. "Oh? I didn't notice."

Bella snorted. "Sure you didn't."

Then, she tilted her head toward Phoebe's companion. "Who's that guy? It looks like he's just stolen our campus queen."

Jack frowned. "They're just having a meal. Don't be dramatic." But even as he said it, his voice had a slight hesitation.

He knew the guy. It was Leslie. He was the same guy who had picked Phoebe up in his Mercedes.

Jack had heard plenty of rumors about him. Wealthy, powerful, the heir to a massive business empire. If anyone had a shot at winning over Phoebe, it was a guy like that.

Bella smirked. "Oh, so it does bother you."
