Ainsley was a little surprised. Manuel's fingers were long and slender. His cigarette butt was flickering. She even didn't notice the smile in her eyes.
"Mr. Gage, what brought you here?"
"I'm here for you." Manuel spat out the last puff and extinguished the cigarette butt.
"For me?" Ainsley was slightly stunned.
Manuel nodded and handed her the invitation, which she declined when Serina gave it to her.
"Ms. Easton, I came this time to invite you to our family's banquet. You said before that you owed me a favor. I thought about it and decided to invite you as my female companion. If you don't want to, it's okay."
Manuel's voice was slightly hoarse, and his deep eyes flickered with a faint smile.
Ainsley took the invitation, her fingertips becoming warm.
After she turned Serina's invitation down, she regretted doing so. When did she care so much about other people's opinions?
