Chapter 243

Della’s POV

Feeling conscious, I immediately pulled my hand as I swallowed the formed lump in my throat.

Calm down Della. You need this guy's help. This might just be his way of greeting people.

Looking unfazed, Mr. K grabbed his glass again and offered me a toast. “To our future partnership.”

I’m probably just overthinking it. It’s usual for others to give a kiss on the hand as a sign of respect or admiration.

Agh! What was I even thinking about being moved by that?

After calming myself down, I grabbed my glass and clung it with his, and the vibrant sound of our glasses victoriously resonated in the room.

“To our future partnership,” I agreed.

Both staring at each other, we placed the glass on our lips and chunked its contents into our mouths, letting the tanginess of sweetness savor my lips before the burning sensation cursed through my throat.

Nonetheless, it gave me that incredible sensation of living up to the victorious happiness brought by our sealed partnership.
