The woman instinctively shook her head, but in an instant, Steve Burton's brow furrowed fiercely, and his expression darkened. He pulled her hair a bit harder, causing her face to turn pale, and her body to tense up. She hurriedly changed her shaking head to a nod.
Only then did Steve's expression soften, and his face returned to the gentle warmth of just moments before. His eyes stared deeply into hers, and he asked earnestly, "Whatever you need, just tell me. I'll get it done for you."
Their relationship was nothing more than a transaction, a fleeting encounter after which they would go their separate ways. Even if she had difficulties, there was no reason to ask for his help. So the woman hastily smiled and said, "Mr. Burton, I really don't have anything…"
"What do you want me to do for you?" Steve interrupted her abruptly, his tone cold.
