Romeo glanced her way and then looked away just as quickly.
Roxanne, struck by a sudden thought, blurted out, "Something nobody's ever tried before."
Without pausing for a second, Romeo strode past her, leaving behind a crisp, invigorating scent.
She couldn't help but inhale deeply, savoring the aroma. Was this the allure of a mature man?
She liked it a lot.
Through the thick crowd, Romeo spotted the young girl surrounded by a group of old men, all smiles and laughter. Just as he considered approaching, another figure stepped in his path.
"Are you one of Mr. Eugene's guests too? I see everyone's eager to chat you up. It must be so bothersome, right?" Madeline feigned ignorance about Romeo's identity, putting on a quirky face. "I could pretend to be your girlfriend to fend off some of those admirers for you."
Romeo gave her a cold glance. Was she Daydreaming??
Did he look like someone who needed a fake girlfriend??
