As Oliver Hughes was getting into the car, Bella Woods sent a string of crying emojis to the handsome gigolo.
Bella Woods: Let's have our date another day.
Bella Woods: I promise to plan everything well so you have a great dating experience, and I won't be the troublesome kid anymore.
Bella Woods: Boohoo, handsome gigolo, kisses, honey, darling, don't give up on taking care of me. You must really think it over.
Bella Woods: I'll make it up to you properly.
After sending, she followed it up with a barrage of teasing "shower" emojis.
Not until Oliver Hughes got into the car did Bella Woods finally place her phone screen-down on her thigh.
Oliver Hughes glanced: "Who are you messaging?"
"No one." Bella Woods denied, her heart inexplicably racing.
It felt like the subtle thrill of an affair.
