I smile internally, “I wasn't blushing and I am not in any trap called love” I clarified while clearing my throat. “Fine baby pearl if you say so” He said and I peeked to see his smirk intensifying. Maybe I am but he does not need to know. “When we reach back, I have an offer for you”, he said. I took it in a light way b
