Looking at Collins Aiden who was smiling in front of her, she realized that she had just been boasting about herself and embarrassingly blushed.
"You should try it too, whether it's tasty or not isn't just up to me to decide."
"If Ella thinks it's delicious, then it's delicious," Collins replied without hesitation, his eyes never leaving her pretty face even as he sliced the steak.
Ella Jackson didn't know how he did it, cutting the steak so neatly without even looking at it.
As she watched him bring a piece of steak to his lips, his eyes fixed on her, it felt as though it wasn't the steak he was tasting, but her...
Startled by the thought that popped into her mind, she reached for the wine bottle and poured herself a glass of red wine, then chugged it down.
"Red wine should be savored slowly; you're gulping it down like water," Collins teased, seeing her obviously shy behavior.
"I'm thirsty!" Ella Jackson set down the empty glass and straightened her neck defensively.
