Zethan's gaze shifted towards her in slight surprise, his lips twitching up before he smiled, revealing his perfect teeth.

Lilia's mouth opened and closed in shock. Whoa. His perfectly shaped teeth made him look even more handsome—breathtaking, even. Not that he wasn't already, but this? This was on another level.

She wasn't the only one affected. The chefs had gone completely still, either stunned by his sudden smile or still processing what Lilia had said earlier.

Then, Zethan spoke. "I wouldn't mind that at all."

Lilia's eyes widened slightly. 'Wait—what?' She had only said that to make him eat—to get him to stop looking at her that way—not for any other reason. Yet, he actually wanted her to do it?

She scrambled for an excuse. "That would make us late," she blurted out, hoping to dodge the moment.

Zethan nodded. "Fair enough."
