Chapter 0109
“Yes, kind of, I just know that if I really want something I can demand it and admits, chewing nervously on her bottom lip.
people can’t deny my request,” she
And have you demanded anything of Coner? Again, I suggest you don’t lie. I will be checking Just how much compulsion Coner has been subjected to later today,” I raise my brows at her.
“Yes,” she says with a defeated huff. “That’s how I discovered I could do it. He spent months ignoring me, always running off to meet his girlfriend and dismissing my advances. One day I snapped and confronted him. He asked what I wanted from him and I told him I wanted him to want me more than he wanted his girlfriend. He had this dazed look for a second and then kissed me,” she shrugs. Confirming what I’d suspected since I’d discovered her power. It all made sense now. I couldn’t understand how Comer could have chosen this girl over Josie. She’s not a bad–looking girl but her attitude and personality leave a sour taste in my mouth.

“Can I take your order, sir?” a pimple–faced teenage boy asks from behind the counter.
“Yes, I have 10 students that I wanted to treat to lunch, what would you recommend?” I smile politely at the boy and he looks back at me seeming disinterested.

“Okay then I’ll take that, and two of each flavour of milkshake,” I nod.
