But it had been years since they had collectively rated a guy's looks.
The visual feast right in front of Scarlett completely reawakened her dormant inner fangirl.
"Are you done wiping?"
She was still lost in her thoughts when Julian's low, slightly husky voice pulled her back. His eyes were crinkled with amusement, and she suddenly realized just how close his handsome face was to hers.
Scarlett jolted back to reality, noticing that she had rubbed the napkin so hard it was starting to shred onto his skin. Blushing furiously, she quickly tossed the paper into the trash bin.
"Y-Yeah. Done."
Julian smirked. "I'm going to quickly wash up in the bathroom. Wait for me."
Scarlett nodded.
Julian stood up effortlessly and, without the slightest hint of self-consciousness, walked toward the bathroom completely shirtless.
Scarlett stared at his retreating back, her eyes widening.
She realized that his back was somehow even more captivating than his front. The sheer flex and power in his shoulder blades and arms were genuinely breathtaking.
He had an absolute god-tier physique, and yet he hid it so perfectly under his tailored suits!
Making a split-second decision, Scarlett whipped out her phone, snapped a quick photo of his back, and fired it off to Talia.
Scarlett: [Bestie, sharing the wealth. Check out this view.]
Talia: [[Smirking Emoji] So hot! Drooling! Is this Julian? Wait... did you guys sleep together?]
Scarlett's face burned even hotter: [Don't talk nonsense! No!]
Talia: [[Grinning Emoji] Then why is he walking around half-naked? Tell the truth, what did you do?]
Scarlett: [Nothing! I accidentally spilled wine on his shirt, so he had to take it off.]
