Chapter 40: I was hard the whole time, sweetheart.
"I can’t believe you." Jackson shook his head, snapping his eyes at Fil, who was taking the seat across from him. "I felt like a fool jumping in joy when you agreed to have a date with me. Silly me. I should’ve known you had ulterior motives when you chose this place."
Fil smiled. "I’m lucky, said a certain person. I’m trying to see where can I push that luck."
"My, my." Jackson pressed his fingertips on the bottom of the wineglass, sliding it in her direction. "So? How was that little show? Did you find it satisfactory?"
"Maybe?" Fil shrugged, taking the wineglass with a thanks. "He followed me all the way here. Based on where he hid, I’m sure he caught a glimpse of you."
Jackson chuckled in amusement, picking up his wineglass and raising it mildly. "I guess we have a lot of things to toast tonight."
Fil giggled, raising the wine glass mildly before taking a sip. Her brows rose as soon as the sweet taste of the wine exploded in her mouth.
"It’s sweet," she blurted out. "Taste like a juice with a mild punch."
"After last night, I ordered the lightest wine on their menu."
"This wine isn’t on their menu. I dine here once a month," she argued with a slight pout. "You brought this. Why lie?"
Jackson shrugged. "Because I wanted to impress you, but changed my mind."
"Are you angry?"
