Belinda was having a blast chatting with Bryan when suddenly a group of guys came and whisked him away. She was still trying to wrap her head around the situation as she nibbled on her coffee straw in a daze.
"Look at you, having a blast with your coffee?"
The sound of Chase's voice snapped Belinda back to reality, and she put down her coffee.
Chase had a grin plastered on his face, "I didn't tell you not to drink. Why so jumpy? But how come you're hogging all the coffee for yourself and not getting me a cup?"
Belinda stood up to explain, "Mr. Larios, this coffee wasn't my order; it’s on the house from some colleagues. Plus, it's a budget-friendly option; it might not be to your liking, so they didn't bother getting you this."
She was careful with her words, not wanting to land her colleagues in hot water.
Chase raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? How do you know it's not to my liking? Gimme, let me give it a taste."
Give it a taste? He didn't even order anything, so what was he trying to taste?
Belinda was flabbergasted, watching Chase with wide eyes.
Chase sauntered over to her desk, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and nodded, "Not too shabby! Get me one next time."
Belinda was gobsmacked. She was blushing furiously, completely at a loss.
Wait, hold up! Don't go overboard!
Chase never had any self-control around women; he was probably kissing and sleeping with a different woman every day, so what was a sip of someone’s drink?
