Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 404

These friends of Austin's seemed to be quite friendly toward him.

Suzanne lowered her coffee cup, then peered at Austin. She asked, "Won't you be bored keeping me company while I get styled? How about you go do what you need to do and then pick me up later?"

Even though Suzanne had never waited for anyone like this, she felt like Austin wasn't the type to wait for others.

Fixing his eyes on Suzanne, Austin said in a gentle tone, "No worries. You do you."

Suzanne was utterly surprised. But before she could even say anything, Lucas was done with his preparation work. Smiling, he came up to Suzanne and asked, "I'm ready, Suzanne. Shall we begin?"

She looked toward Lucas and nodded. "Sure."

Thinking that she would walk straight toward him, Lucas' jaw dropped when he saw her get to her feet and lean into Austin to give him a kiss on his lips right before his eyes.

Lucas widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at what he just witnessed. He was just a stylist who happened to be single. Why did he have to be attacked like this?

Most importantly, not only did Austin not push Suzanne away, but he even reached out to hold her by her waist. Lucas couldn't believe his eyes!

Was Austin still that frigid and aloof man he knew? Could Austin maintain that arrogant image of his?

Lucas felt like his worldview was being turned upside down.

Suzanne took a step back. Curling her lips slightly, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Hall."

Despite his busy schedule, Austin was actually willing to stay and keep her company. He was doing this all for her sake. Deep down, she was moved.

The frigidity in Austin's eyes vanished and was replaced with a gaze of gentleness and joy. In a tender voice, he prompted, "Go on."

Suzanne nodded and smiled. Then, she straightened her back and walked toward Lucas.
