?<strong>Chapter 576:</strong>


    “Just kidding,” he sighed, his expression lightening. “There are leftovers in the fridge. If I’m not around, you’ll have to heat them up yourself, Ms. rke.”


    “Alright,” she replied, settling into the chair at the dining table. Her gaze drifted to Ken. Despite the passion of the night before, she found herself enjoying this quiet,fortable moment even more.


    Then, the phone rang. Ken nced at the screen.


    “It’s Ferdinand,” he said.


    “Go ahead,” Allison nodded nonchntly, turning back to her food.


    Ken answered, pressing the speaker button. “What’s up?”


    “I sorted out some project materials. Are you free tonight? Maybe we could go over it,” Ferdinand suggested.


    “Can’t tonight. I’ve got a date with her.”


    “A date? With her?”


    Ferdinand’s surprise quickly turned to realization. “Wait, you’re with Ms. rke? And you didn’t tell me?”


    Not too long ago, Ken was struggling with his love life, but now he’d actually managed to win her over. Ferdinand’sughter echoed over the phone, followed by a teasing tone. “So my advice worked, huh? How far have you two…?”


    Ken promptly ended the call, leaving Ferdinand’s questions unanswered.


    He was speechless. Quite a friend Ken was, choosing love over friendship!


    Allison raised an eyebrow but returned to her phone when a notification pinged.


    Casually, she transferred half of the three hundred million dors that hadnded in her ount over to Ken.


    “This is forst night,” she remarked. “We were partners, after all.”


    Ken chuckled warmly, a bit amused. “Ms. rke, you’re quite generous. So you think I did alright then?”


    Allison had a strikingly alluring appearance. She had captivating almond-shaped eyes that were bright and clear. When she smiled, there was always a subtle, almost irresistible flirtation in her gaze.


    She leaned her chin on her hand, studying him. “Not bad,” she said, a teasing lilt in her voice. “But there’s room for improvement.”


    Ken reached for her hand, pressing a gentle kiss to her knuckles.


    “I’ve told you — I’m all yours.”


    He met her gaze, his voice soft. “So my money’s yours, too. And if you ever need anything, just ask. Especially since we’re officially a couple now.”


    Allison smiled. “Alright.”


    It was always nice to see a guy treat a girl and spend some cash on her.


    Ken’s expression shifted slightly, as if something else had crossed his mind. “Mny ended up in trouble at the casinost night. She owed quite a bit. Colton tried to help her and got detained in the process.” He searched Allison’s face for a reaction, but she simply shrugged, her expression calm as ever.
