Samantha was someone who paid great attention to decorum in front of others.
She did not want to hog the entertainment news headlines with Timothy for two reasons: firstly, she did not want to be the subject of other people's after-dinner gossip. Secondly, she wanted to maintain Timothy's image because he was intrinsically connected to the Barker Group.
It would be detrimental to Timothy's image, as well as that of the Barker group, if he made the entertainment news headlines time and time again.
On that day however, she found it a little difficult to control herself and did not really feel like exercising that level of self-restraint.
Samantha bit her lower lip gently, then looked up at Timothy before asking in a very, very low voice, "I want to kiss you, Honey."
Words were no longer sufficient to express how touched and loved she felt right then.
Timothy cocked his eyebrows. "Here? Now?"
Samantha nodded repeatedly. "May I?"
