章 143: Derek and Bella's date

During Bella and Derek's dinner date...

Bella cleared her throat, gazing at the man across from her. Derek was simply keeping his silence while slicing through the steak.

"Was the security helped you?" Derek raised his gaze, arching his brows. She nearly jump in his question as it came abruptly for her.

"Ye — yes, thank you." She sported a smile, breathing in and out as she was nervous. Bella was never been so nervous on a date, but there's just something in him that made her feel she had to be cautious.

"You're already thanking me," He said, as a matter of fact, shrugging his shoulders. "You're paying, right?"

"Yes!" 

A subtle smile appeared on his face. "Are you're nervous, Miss Chang?"

"What? No, I mean, of course not." Bella shook her head, mentally telling herself to get a grip. This wasn't her first date, and she was not an infatuated teenager anymore.
