The warmth from her waist and the pleasant smell from the man made Sherman blush.
Kingsley's sexy, thin lips slightly curled. The big man bent over and picked up her trench coat gently. "It's cold outside. Put it on."
Standing there, she took the trench coat and complied.
"She hasn't been feeling herself recently. Please excuse us and have fun. I'll foot the bill..." Kingsley said blandly.
Sherman fell silent and slightly pursed her lips. To her surprise, this man told a lie so calmly.
"Now that you're here, why don't you stay for a while longer?" The eager voice of a woman came over, followed by the others' echoes.
"We're fine and should go to a dinner party." He curled his lips lightly and held the crowd's attention.
Sherman said goodbye to Sloane, but the latter kept glancing at the noble and elegant man. Grabbing Sherman's arm, Sloane asked for her confession.
In a subdued voice, Sherman promised to call her and answer her every question.
This man was born a leader. With a few words, he had the situation under control.
Natalie didn't say a single word the entire time. Her silence was sudden.
"Shall we go?" Kingsley snapped his gaze back. His deep eyes landed on Sherman. The latter nodded, and the two started to leave the private room.
Natalie stood there still. Kingsley walked past, shoulder-checked her, and curled his lips. "Sorry," he apologized courteously in a deep voice.
His voice was husky and perfectly attractive. When his black coat brushed by her, Natalie smelled faint smoke and an herbaceous fragrance.
