“You can do whatever you want in front of me. There's no need to apologize. You almost fell because you were being too nervous.”
Spencer gave her a gentle look. “You're still young, and it's natural for you to meet some jerks in life. Since Mr. Shaw is already engaged, you did the right thing by drawing the line. It was a brave decision on your part.”
Cassandra's pupils constricted as she looked at Spencer in disbelief. The latter subsequently tucked her hair behind her ear with an affectionate look in his eyes. “As long as you need me, I'm happy to be your servant.”
Cassandra's moistened eyes sparkled in surprise. Despite the simplicity of the comment, the way Spencer said it gave it a domineering yet caring vibe.
The strange combination somehow made her heart skip a beat.
“N-No, it's fine.”
As Spencer continued to stare at her, Cassandra couldn't help but blush. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You look adorable.” Spencer enunciated every word.
“That's so cheesy!” Brows knitted, Cassandra pushed Spencer aside before walking toward the auction venue. Nonetheless, her ears were already burning red.
Just as Cassandra arrived at the entrance, the elevator doors beside her opened and out came a well-heeled-middle-aged couple.
“Spencer? Is that you?”
When the coupled called out to Spencer in a trembling voice, Cassandra turned around by reflex.
She then saw how the well-dressed couple's eyes lit up in surprise at the sight of Spencer. She could tell from the shock and longing in their eyes that they hadn't seen him in a long time.
The middle-aged lady hurried up to Spencer's side. “Spencer, how have you been? W-When will you come home?”
Before her hand could make contact with Spencer, the latter avoided it and replied indifferently, “I'm sorry, Mrs. White. I'm busy.”
With that, he grabbed Cassandra's arm and headed inside.
