Sighing, I allowed her, and once again his face came into view.

She was silent for a few moments but eventually even she gave her comment.

“Damn, I thought you were kidding,” she said, and I smiled.

“He’s attractive. Look at those thighs... look at his shoulders... Oomph, that hair. He will never go bald!”

This made me smile now and made me equally as relieved since it was confirmed that I wasn’t crazy. He was actually all that.

“Did you kiss him?” she asked, and my heart literally sank because I had to admit to myself, for now, that was a damn shame.

“You messed up there,” she said. “You should have. How often are two people equally attracted to each other in this way?”

“He just wanted to test out if it was a fluke or something,” I said. “Or at least that’s what it sounded like.”

“And the problem is?” she asked.

“That makes me like him even more because it shows that he's straightforward and doesn’t see you as some damsel. He's assertive, knows what he wants, and asks for it. There will be no troubles with this one, so please tell me why you're hesitating?”

I sighed.

“I'm not anymore, but it might be too late, so I guess... the next time we meet or if he approaches me again?”

“He's not going to approach you again,” she said, and I didn't even need to ask to know that she was right.

He probably already has another girl on his arm right now.

“Do you know about their family? Do you know what they do? Why are they so wealthy?” she asked, and I realized that I hadn’t even checked.

“He told me to send him my phone number,” I said as I pulled out his business card and searched their surname on Google.

“Have you?” she asked as we waited for the search results.

“Not yet,” I replied, and I could feel her shake her head above me.

Soon enough, the results came out, and then my brows raised.

“They're new money millionaires,” she said, and I nodded, amazed.

“Wait, so… health and fitness. Explains his ridiculous body. His father started several gyms... he came in during college and turned their business model into a licensing division... made almost 200 million.”

Holy crap!

“Oh!” she said.

“He’s more than capable. I was already irritated with him, thinking he was a nepo baby that was, of course, controlling everyone around him for no reason.”

“There's more,” she said. “Now he's into business acquisition… Well, not full acquisition, partnership. They help companies grow and take a percentage. Hmm...” she said.

“Oh wow. He's impressive. And you said no to him again because?”

I wanted to bang my head against the table.

“I didn't say no to him,” I replied. “I just …”

“You just what?” she asked.

“I just haven’t responded yet.
