Chapter 45: Hiccup

As we approached the lobby of the lodge, I couldn't help but notice the woman I was hitting on standing at the entrance. I hurriedly buried my face in the scarf as I clung onto Aries to hide my face.

"Looks like he made it." the woman laughs as she leaned close enough for me to spot her long hair despite burying my face behind this scarf.

Does Aries know her? Why is she leaning so close to him? And he's not asking her to back off like he does to most woman...

"Don't joke about that. Anyways, thanks for your help. I'll get in touch with you later." I heard Aries say as my heart seemed to clench.

H-huh? What's this feeling?

"Alright, then. See you~ Go warm him up." the woman chuckles with glee as she sends Aries off.

"I was going to do that regardless of whether you commented on it." Aries grumbled as he pulls me closer to him, pressing me against his chest.
