Jazz froze as he remembered that he was still in his work uniform. With his eyes crinkling, he tried to gloss over her question, "Do I look too attractive to the point that you can't tear your gaze off me?"
"I can see oil stains on your shirt. Go and get changed,” Yvette replied without thinking much into it.
With a playful smile, Jazz got up from his seat. He winked towards Raine behind Yvette's back as a signal to Raine, so she would help him hide the truth from his mom.
She nodded as she got the message. She waved him off to urge him to get dressed quickly.
"Raine, didn't you say you were coming back home with your fiance?" Yvette asked before taking a few sips of her soup.
"He still has to finish up some work before heading here. You'll get to meet him for sure. I have some pictures of him. Would you like to see them?"
Looking at Yvette, Raine raised her head as she replied while filling up the other bowls.
"Sure, let's see them. I'm sure that, for someone who could steal your heart, he must be special and incredibly charming,” Yvette smiled as she said.
"I wouldn’t say he’s incredibly charming. He's the same as any regular person-it is not like he has an extra set of eyes or lips."
Raine replied as she fished out her phone. The wallpaper on the lock screen of her phone was a man with his arms around her shoulder. They were standing under a big tree.
The man's face was defined and framed with thick brows and bright eyes. His eyes held a certain gentleness.
"He looks charming indeed. You always have such a good eye for men. Mark, come look," Yvette said as she purposely passed the phone over to tease his response.
Mark looked nonchalant as his gaze fell on the screen. He took a few glimpses before saying, "He's not bad."
"I think so too," Yvette agreed cheerfully. As she thought of something, her expressions then turned solemn. Facing Summer, she questioned her, "What's going on with today's news?"
Summer, who tried to lay low and kept silent all the while, felt stunned when she was cued. "I've already started the investigations on that matter," a deep voice spoke up before she could reply.
