Chapter 200: You're Blushing

Aaron looked distinctly uncomfortable. He wouldn't meet Keeley's eyes.

"I didn't want you to see how stupid I look," he admitted. "I thought you would laugh at me."

Geez, what kind of person did he think she was? Keeley was slightly offended. "Forget that, what happened to you?"

His discomfort increased. He was actually shifting in place. The almighty business icon Aaron Hale never acted like this. Her curiosity was eating her alive—it had to be a pretty good story for him to be so embarrassed. He didn't  get embarrassed.

That was absolutely the last thing she would have expected to come out of his mouth. She was completely thrown off.

"Cameron wanted to go paintballing for his bachelor party and my stupid goggles were faulty, okay? I got shot directly in the face," he said icily before crossing his arms in front of his chest.
