Chapter: 476

He gazed at Alicia as if he was deeply in love with her. His stare was enthralling.

Alicia shook her head. "No, but this is a first for me."

"So I'm your first," replied the escort with a wink. "May I have the honor of your company tonight?"

Just as Alicia was about to decline, she noticed Caden watching her from a distance.

He reclined nonchalantly, his look icy and somewhat menacing.

Alicia recalled the peculiar feelings she had when getting intimate with him.

It seemed he was the only one who affected her that way.

Was it because he was her only experience?

What if she were with someone else? Would she feel equally adrift if she were intimate with another?

Alicia had never pondered this before. Considering Caden saw her merely as a casual fling and himself flirted openly, why should she stay loyal?

Thus, she didn't dismiss the escort's offer but instead responded, “sure. I'm eager to see what you can do."

Caden caught her acceptance.

He scoffed, unimpressed.

His face then hardened further.

Gerry, looking to add some spice, said to the escort, “If you're taking her out, remember the expenses. Charge them to my account, and sort it out with your boss later."

The escort grinned. “No worries. Tonight, for such a lovely company, I ask for nothing."

Alicia managed a weak smile.

The mood was light and playful until Caden's comment broke the spell.

He remarked cynically, "Nothing free is good."

The smile on the male escort's face stiffened.

Tension filled the air.

Gerry clicked his tongue and asked, “Are you drunk? Why target a young man without cause?"

Caden remained stoic. “No. I'm simply stating facts."

Gerry responded, "Keep drinking. Alicia is showing interest in someone. Don't spoil it."

It seemed Caden's remark might have stung the male escort's pride.

This made him all the more determined to impress Alicia.

Although Alicia had not been drinking, the aroma of alcohol from him made her head spin.

He guided her hand to his abs, which were slightly wet from the Liquor.

“Feel it," he encouraged. "Do you like it?" he asked softly.

Alicia looked down, her fingers trailing slowly downward.
