    Suddenly, Barlow blurted out, “Did I say I wouldn’t assist you?”


    Taken aback, Karina gazed at him with wide eyes.


    “What? That’s not how you ask for help.” Barlow rolled his eyes. “Don’t you think it’s rather premature


    to demand someone’s support before dinner is even concluded?”


    Upon seeing hisments received well, Karina promptly resumed her seat.


    “Please, take your time.” She grinned, overjoyed.


    Barlow smirked. “Can you stop staring at me like an infatuated puppy?


    The table is loaded with dishes. How am I going to finish all of them?”


    “I’LL join you.”


    In high spirits, Karina began serving Barlow attentively.


    Observing her radiant smile, Barlow felt a flutter in his heart.


    “If you require my assistance, it won’te without cost.”


    Karina asked, “What sort of reward are you seeking? Perhaps I can afford it.”


    “Do you take me for a man short on money?”


    “Then what do you desire?”


    Barlow looked at her, his eyes dimming.


    A sudden sense of anxiety crept over Karina. She subconsciously crossed her arms over her chest. “I


    won’t sell my body.”

    perform for me.”


    “Then what precisely do you want?” Karina asked, her voice barely audible.


    Peering into her apprehensive eyes, Barlow smiled and replied, “You owe me a favor, I’LL state my


    terms when I need something from you.”


    Karina agreed. “Alright. But I must rify, I won’t break thew or cross any moral boundaries.”
