Yvonne glanced over, her fair face betraying a flicker of surprise—so fleeting, it nearly went unnoticed.
Wasn’t that watch the same limited edition the heiress bought yesterday?
Marico noticed Yvonne staring a bit too intently. “Do you like it?” he asked.
She snapped back to reality, blinking as she pressed her lips together. “It’s just that…I’ve never seen a man wear a diamond-studded watch before. It looks really nice. Must be expensive, right?”
Marico lifted his wrist for a casual look, his expression mild and unreadable. “It’s just a watch.”
Yvonne nodded along, but her worldview had just been upended by the casualness of the wealthy.
A three-hundred-thousand-dollar watch—she’d have to work her whole life to afford just one.
There was a burning question on Yvonne’s mind, but she didn’t dare ask. Instead, she pretended to be in a hurry to leave for work.
Her cheeks flushed a rosy pink, her eyes darting with barely concealed curiosity—none of which escaped Marico’s keen, well-trained gaze.
“Yvonne, is there something you want to ask?” Marico called after her.
She shook her head quickly. “Nope. I’m off—bye!”
That morning, Yvonne drove faster than ever before.
