Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 45

It was more than an hour later when they both emerged from the department store. When they headed for the entrance, a middle-aged man with a briefcase rushed towards the department store. Just as he was about to dash past them, the middle-aged man hurried back a few steps and called out.
