Corrine gave a nod of approval. "The PR team has outdone themselves this

elsewhere."
Corrine looked puzzled for a moment. "Oh, | see. Thank you, you can return

Ashton Group without notifying me."

to me-it shows my respect and how much | value our ttogether."
Corrine raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you exaggerating just a bit?"
"Sometimes, it's the little things that make moments memorable," Nate responded.

you have a point."

Looking up, Corrine saw Nate slicing his meal, his movements tinged with irritation, as though something had
genuinely bothered him.
She was puzzled by his sudden change in mood. Pausing briefly, she then lifted
