Still Your Dog? No, I'm Gone novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

I frowned, and my expression darkened. Just as I was about to say something, Quinn suddenly burst out laughing.

She said, “You’ve got it all wrong. I’m the one seducing him, not the other way around!”

As she spoke, she slipped her arm through mine and gave a cheeky wink. I was so caught off guard that I froze in place.

Behind us, Kieran looked completely dumbfounded, but I caught the flicker of coldness in his eyes and the obvious envy.

He’d always dreamed of being the pretty boy who could rely on wealthy women to pull the Zanes out of their crisis. The way I had it right now naturally evoked his jealousy.

“Come on. Let’s eat,” Quinn said as she tugged me away from the scene.

“You’re a woman. Aren’t you worried about what people might say?” I glanced at her.

“About what?” she asked, playing dumb.

“Sophia’s beautiful, kind, and capable. Any man would be drawn to her,” I smiled and said.

Quinn couldn’t help but pout and press, “What about me?”

Looking at her, I replied without hesitation, “You’re outstanding, too. There’s nothing to complain about your family background, looks, and ability.”
