Chapter 213: Her knight in shining armour

A charity gala was way more exclusive than Lara initially thought. It was not just about the charity, apparently, because the best drinks were served together with expensive food.

How much was spent on the refreshment and how much would end up in actual charity missions was a mystery she didn't want to solve. She suspected she wouldn't like the response.

«If people say anything off, you're expected to talk back,» Nate whispered while walking in. «Especially if they're rude. You don't need to stay silent if they attack you.»

«I'd prefer to let you defend me,» she murmured, smiling wily. «Aren't you my knight in shining armour tonight?»

«Oh, sure! I will defend you!» he said, forgetting about anything he was trying to say.

His mate needed him for something. It was awesome!

«Also, if people seem to have bad intentions, just cling on my arm, and they will stop.»

«Sure,» Lara chuckled. «I will remember to do so.»
