“Alana asked me to buy these.” Frank, with his brown eyes fixed on me, said meaningfully, “She said that if I want to pursue you, I should always be ready to be living together and prepare these feminine hygiene products.”

I felt my ears flush with heat. “Who said anything about living with you? Besides, we’re still just friends!”

“Alright, alright,” He pulled me closer, brushing his lips against mine briefly, his lips glistening. “Friends who can kiss and hug, is that satisfactory?”

“Pervert!” Embarrassed and angry, I quickly pulled away and stood up.

Frank grabbed my wrist and looked up at me. “Then what would you call our relationship?”

“I’m not going to say.” I gave him a scolding look. “Since when does pursuing someone mean they have to be the one to make the first move?”

“What about my birthday present?

I felt that his mood seemed a bit off, Originally, I planned to find another chance to give him the gift, but I didn’t want to wait any longer. “The gift… just wait a moment!”

With that, I went upstairs to my place and brought down the gift I had originally prepared for him.

“Happy Birthday!”

I handed him a rectangular gift box and a paper bag.

One was the gift I had prepared earlier.

The other was a last–minute purchase I made last night

Frank cocked his brows. “Two gifts?”

I said deliberately. “You can choose just one if you want.”

“I want both.” He reached out and took both gifts at the same time.

The paper bag was branded with a luxury logo, and he chose to open the rectangular gift box first.

Inside the box lay a neatly folded T–shirt.

On the left chest was a rabbit badge, which I had embroidered by hand.

His eyes brightened slightly. “Did you design this yourself?”

“Yes.” I nodded gently. “Do you like it?”

Before designing Yasmin’s dress, I had already worked on this design.

The tailoring was simple.

But for both of us, it meant something special.

Also… this was a couples‘ style.

But at that moment, I felt a bit shy about telling him.

The other item, still hanging in my wardrobe, had not been worn.

Frank didn’t say anything else and opened the other gift, which was a Patek Philippe watch I had chosen at first glance last night.

The color of the strap suited Frank’s flamboyant and carefree demeanor.

He slowly removed his own watch and extended his wrist toward me. “Help me put it on?”

“Okay.”

I took the watch from the box and helped him put it on.

The strap length was just right, requiring no adjustment

After putting it on, just as I was about to step back, Frank grabbed my waist and pulled me into his arms, his tone calm yet intense. “Charlotte… I’m not satisfied with these two gifts.”

I smiled lightly. “What are you still unsatisfied with? What more do you want?”

“I want you.” His voice was deep and filled with desire, repeating each word deliberately. “I, want, you.”

My whole body tensed!

Perhaps having been around Jane for many years, my first reaction was to say, “Slow down, I’m on my period…”

But Frank’s cool lips brushed against my ear, coaxing gently, “Charlotte, starting today, be my girlfriend, okay?”

My heart instantly raced.

Each word seemed to hit my eardrums, sending a tingling current through my entire body.

He looked at me with focused, fiery eyes, waiting intently for my response.

It felt as if time had frozen at that moment.

I suddenly dropped my gaze, unable to maintain eye contact with him.

If I looked any longer, my racing heartbeat might give me away.

I struggled to stay calm, trying not to act like a giddy girl, but when I spoke, my lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile. “Alright…”

Before I could finish, he chuckled softly and leaned down to kiss me.

The air was filled with the cool, minty scent of the man, mixed with a hint of tobacco, which felt strangely harmonious and not at all jarring.
