He held up his phone, his face still creased with that irrepressible, mischievous grin Guess what? Killian actually got my WhatsApp request through And he messaged me privately to ask if the new Ferrari I posted on my hements was a stock photo
Audrey nearly choked on her juice at that. Even Justin’s lips twitched in amusement
Riley found it amusing too. “What did you tell him?”
“Well, I figured we shouldn’t crush the guy’s spirit wouldn’t be very classy of us,” Colin said with mock solemnity. “Sol told how yeah, a man’s gotta have dreams. Photoshopping a fancy car onto my feed keeps me motivated to hustle every day
Even Sebastian’s lips seemed to curf into the faintest hint of a smile.
