Paulette exclaimed, “What’s that for?”

“I don’t know about others, but for me, a girl’s hand is just for holding.”

The man finished speaking and went to the kitchen to clean up the tableware. Paulette looked at his tall and straight figure, shaking her head in disbelief.

Jeremiah didn’t know he had been put in the guard zone by Paulette. He was so busy with work, squeezing in time to have dinner with Paulette and working nearly twelve hours a day.
