Connor's lips curled into a sly grin. "I just played my part well. If I hadn't been a bit charming, how else would you have fallen for it?"
Chloe burst into laughter. Connor seemed pretty pleased with himself.
With her head tilted, Chloe propped herself up on her arm and lazily gazed at Connor sitting beside her. He was incredibly attractive, like a comic book hero come to life, with a flawless face.
On his left ear, he wore a tiny blue earring adorned with an even tinier sapphire. You wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely, but Chloe had spotted it the first day she saw him, and he had never taken it off.
His looks were cool and aloof, but that little earring added a touch of rebellious charm. It was an intriguing mix—cool detachment with a hint of defiance—blended seamlessly in him. Truly captivating.
Chloe's curiosity piqued. Her delicate fingers gently pinched Connor's earlobe.
"What's the story behind this earring? You've always worn it."
From what Chloe knew of Connor, he didn't seem like the type to go for flashy accessories. His usual style was very formal—suits, leather shoes, and the occasional wristwatches. So, the earring had to mean something special.
Connor's earlobe turned red where Chloe had touched. He caught her hand. "It was a gift. No big deal."
"From a girl?" Chloe probed.
Connor turned to her, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Jealous?"
Chloe smirked like a cat. "I can be all sorts of things, just not jealous."
