The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1140

Chase didn't agree, nor did he continue the conversation. He just muttered, "This Jacob is slacking off at work. I need to have a word with his manager and give him a good grilling."

Upon hearing this, Belinda, afraid that she might get her colleague in trouble, quickly defended him. "He called me during his lunch break. It's not like he's not working!"

Chase feigned seriousness, "Didn't he text you before lunch break too?"

Belinda explained, "That... That's because he asked me a few questions during his downtime; it's not like we were chatting all the time."

Chase narrowed his eyes, looking deep and mysterious, "You're defending him like that? So are you going to go watch the movie with him?"

Belinda seemed a bit nervous, and her reply lacked enthusiasm, "I'll think about it. I'm not really into horror movies. What if I get scared and scream? It wouldn't be appropriate in front of colleagues!"

A smirk appeared on Chase's face, "Then come with me. I'm quite interested in seeing you scream in fright."

Belinda was taken aback, wondering if she heard him correctly, "Mr. Larios, are you asking me out to a movie?"

Chase nodded affirmatively, "Yes, come with me. If you get scared, you can hide in my arms. I don’t mind if you take advantage of me."

Belinda's mouth twitched, "Mr. Larios, that's not funny at all."

She was somewhat repulsed by Chase's playful flirtation. She had always found him attractive, and any casual remark from him would send her thoughts spiraling out of control.

This had to stop! Belinda took Baber from Chase's arms, "Mr. Larios, thanks for holding Baber for me. I'm hungry; let's go see if lunch is ready."
