Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 711

Dagnabbit. I just want to use the chance to be around Brennan more and find time to talk business with him. Who'd have thought it'd come to this?!

However, Shirley had no regrets, for it was the only chance she had to get close to Garrick.

"What freaking luck."

"You're Garrick's Lady Luck, aren't you, Miss?"

"It's because Garrick's lucky today."

"You can say that again."
