Chapter 20 : Close Your Eyes

*Soren*

I waited for Mila to answer. She seemed at a loss for words and unable to provide me with an answer. I pursed my lips and sipped my wine.

There was no reason for me to give her a hard time. I didn’t even know why I was doing it. I’d already resigned myself to helping her. I was just curious to see how far she was willing to go with this.

Mila sighed and raised her glass to her lips. In one large gulp, she drank all her wine.

I stared at her.

She gasped and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Already, her cheeks turned red and her eyes glassy.

“You should help me because now, we are in the same boat,” she said.

“Are we? I don’t think our situations are similar. Those bounty hunters could give a crap about me but they are after you,” I pointed out, smirking at her.
