Her heart thudded at the thought — not because she wanted anything from him, but because a tiny, silly part of her wanted him to see her the way she truly was.
But then she reminded herself to stay quiet. No one needs to know. It's enough. She smiled again, softer this time, as she took a small bite of her breakfast, her eyes flickering once more toward the cold, serious man standing only a few feet away yet feeling like a thousand miles apart.
After breakfast, Bella headed upstairs, feeling happier than she had in days. She skipped up the last step, humming under her breath, and went into her room. Grabbing her laptop, she sat down and started working.
When she checked her dashboard, her eyes widened.. someone named SweetTooth had purchased all her products. She covered her mouth in surprise, then squealed softly into her palm.
Without wasting a second, she typed out a warm thank-you and added a special discount for the next product.
