Chapter 4 0004 Welcome to New York(2)

"Jake, what brings you here?" Skye heard the teasing and slight annoyance in Lily's tone.

Skye glanced back, seeing a man and woman enter. The woman clung to him like a damsel in distress. The man, about 6 feet tall with captivating eyes, had sharp features unlike most Asian-Americans. His perpetual smile, unbuttoned shirt revealing tanned skin, and wind-tousled hair exuded sex appeal.

Jake noticed Skye and flashed a charming smile. She gave him a fleeting look before heading to the garage, completely ignoring them. Playboys held no interest for her.

Jake had spotted Skye immediately. Seeing her brush him off, he raised an eyebrow, watching her go.

"Jake Turner, where are you looking?" Lily asked through gritted teeth.

Jake turned, asking, "Who's she?"

Lily's face darkened, "Don't even think about it. Eyes on your own plate, Turner. My people are off-limits." The nerve of him, she thought, asking so brazenly with that sulking beauty on his arm. Nothing but a walking Casanova.

As Jake opened his mouth to respond, a cherry-red Ferrari roared out of the garage. Skye waved to Lily from the driver's seat, completely ignoring Jake and his companion as she sped past. Jake's words died in his throat, eyebrows shooting up. In all his years, no woman had ever dared to disregard him so completely. This woman... was intriguing.

"Sriracha sauce, sriracha sauce, where the hell do they sell this stuff?" Skye muttered, having scoured nearly every supermarket in the area. Frustrated, she hit the gas, speeding along the coastal highway.
