However, a ringtone suddenly resounded, breaking the silence in the car.

Startled, Maggie's eyes instantly snapped open as she sat up straight.

Her face was flushed red while smoothing her slightly disheveled hair.

On the other hand, Sanford had a frown on his face, obviously annoyed at the interruption.

He also straightened up and picked up his ringing phone, glancing at the name of the caller.

It turned out to be Brian. The timing couldn't be worse.

Sanford clicked his tongue hostilely before pressing the answer button.

"What's up?"

“Where did your car go? I don't see it following us. Did something happen?" Brian asked casually.

"Nothing. I'll catch you up soon."

There was a brief silence over the line as Brian noticed that something was amiss. “Is anything interrupted by my call?"

Sanford raised an eyebrow, his response tinged with sarcasm, “Everything.”

The moment was ruined!

Sanford hung up the phone and restarted the car, purring the engine to life.

Maggie swallowed hard, her ears still flushed with a lingering heat.

If that call hadn't interrupted, they would have kissed.

Memories surged through her, each one sweet and unforgettable.

Now their relationship would be more complicated...

“I haven't congratulated you on becoming a bridal gown designer yet,"

Sanford said with his smooth, magnetic voice.
