Shawn Styles glanced at Chloe Sinclair, knowing the relationship between the two of them was far from ordinary.
However, he felt there was a subtext to what Jasper Shaw was saying to him.
Especially the way Jasper Shaw had gripped his hand with all his might during their handshake earlier.
When he let go, his right hand was still trembling.
"I noticed Chloe hadn’t been back in a while, so I came over to check on her."
Jasper Shaw immediately latched onto the key words and couldn’t help but ask, "You live here too?"
"Mhm."
An indescribable feeling washed over Jasper Shaw.
He looked at Chloe Sinclair and said in a low voice, "Since you’re home now, I’ll get going. Stay safe."
With that, he turned, intending to leave.
Seeing this, Chloe Sinclair immediately saw through Jasper Shaw’s little act.
"How about a cup of coffee before you go?"
Jasper Shaw’s head whipped back around instantly. "Okay."
Shawn Styles: ...
His eyes widened. He suddenly realized Jasper Shaw’s earlier attempt to leave had all been for show; he’d never had any intention of actually leaving.
"Mr. Styles, thank you for today. I’ll treat you to a meal another day."
Shawn Styles nodded, though his heart ached a little.
But his expression remained gentle as he teased, "If you really want to thank me, how about you find some time to give our team members some pointers?"
Chloe Sinclair considered it very seriously before nodding. "If I remember correctly, your tournament schedule is at the end of the year. I’ll make some time to stop by for a few days before then, but I can’t be sure if I’ll be of any help to you."
Shawn Styles had only been speaking offhandedly; he never thought Chloe Sinclair would actually agree.
So when he heard Chloe Sinclair reply in all seriousness, he was too stunned to react at first.
