“You wanted me to keep you company, didn't you? I don't believe I'm asking for much."

Karina was at a Loss for words.

Not far from them, Barlow was approaching.

Upon witnessing the duo's close embrace, he squinted, his gaze intensifying.

“Rosalynn, what a pleasant surprise! Are you here to pick up someone?"

Barlow approached Rosalynn, a casual greeting escaping his Lips.

He then cast a brief glance at Hutton.

“Yes, and you? Are you also here to meet someone?" Rosalynn returned his politeness.

With a faint smile gracing his face, Barlow shifted his gaze to Karina.

“Chameleon, aren't you going to introduce your friend? Who is this gentleman? Is he your new boyfriend?"

Karina's mind flashed to their previous kiss at the sight of Barlow, and she suddenly yearned to disappear.

Hearing his inquiry, she glanced up, catching a note of irony in his gaze.

What did he say?

He believed she preferred younger men?

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Karina admitted frankly, with a slight Lift of her chin.

"So quickly? You seem to fall for people quite easily," Barlow responded with a sneer.

Hadn't she been drunk over a one-sided Love not long ago?

Why was she now so close with this young man?

“Barlow Tucker, who I love is none of your concern," Karina retorted.

Barlow raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips.

“Oh really? I was just curious about who's a better kisser, me or him."

Karina was left speechless.
