The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 186

Chapter 0186 Harper rolled her eyes .

Dont you ladies have anything better to do ? She asked .

Folding her arms across her chest and narrowing her eyes .

Chester grinned .

Now Harper , no need to be jealous , he said , nudging her shoulder .

You know you are still my favorite .

Im not jealous , she retorted in a growl as she turned to face him .

But flirting while at work has always been frowned upon .

Thats not what you were saying the other night , he said in a soft and breathy whisper , though the rest of us could hear him clearly .

My eyes grew wide as I watched Harpers face turn different shades of pink and red .

Had they slept together the other night ? I wondered what the lure was here … something certainly interesting was happening in front of my eyes and I was way too curious about it .

We werent working , she said through her teeth .

Ineed to run to the store .

Ill be back .

She turned on her heel and hurried out of the kitchen looking mortified .

I turned to Chester who was laughing and shaking his head .

She embarrasses so easily .

I dont get why .

It was only sex , he said , still shaking his head .

It wasnt that big of a deal .

I folded my arms across my chest and watched as he maneuvered his way around the kitchen , cooking in a delicate fashion .

But did you ever think that maybe it was a big deal to her ? He paused for a moment to look at me over his shoulders .

Its not my fault she went back on her word , he said , shrugging .

We said no strings attached .

We were only scratching each others itch .

Nothing more to it .

Is that the kind of guy you are ? I asked him , raising my brows .

He shot me a look and it made the smile drop from my face .

I couldnt really read the expression on his face , and it made my stomach twist .

He was contemplating something as he studied my What exactly do you think this is ? He suddenly asked .

Im sorry , what ? I asked in return .

face .

What do you think this is ? He repeated , but this time he motioned between the two of us .

My cheeks burned at the question , and I had to look away from him ; I stared down at the counter .

He spoke low enough that others in the kitchen hadnt heard , or if they had , they were pretending they hadnt .

We are just having fun , I told him after a beat of silence .

Right ? We are helping each other out and scratching an itch at the same time .

He nodded thoughtfully .

Right , he told me .noveldrama

So , I guess that answers your question .
