With his hands in his pockets, Bradley emerged from the terminal approximately twenty minutes later. He looked modern and
edgy. His attire complimented his physique without any hint of bulkiness. He wore a peaked black cap with a matching black
mask, paired with a long black down jacket.
Aylin waved at him.
Bradley approached the car, his footsteps crunching on the icy ground.
He glanced at Sabrina in the back seat through the window and smiled.
“I hope I’m not intruding on your trip,” he said in a pleasant voice.
His warm breath created a white mist in the cold air.
“Not at all,” Aylin replied, her voice carrying a sense of genuine hospitality. “We’ve wrapped up our time at Shadowlake. We were
on our way back anyway. Hop in.”
Bradley slid into the back seat next to Sabrina.
He nodded at Bettie, acknowledging her presence, and then turned his attention to Sabrina. “Are you feeling better now,
Sabrina?”
“I’m feeling much better. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have mustered the courage for this trip. How about you? I heard you finished your
work already. That was quick!”
“They made a change to the female lead a while ago. Her scenes got axed, and there’s been a delay in selecting the
replacement actress.
That’s why I’m ahead of schedule.”
“That’s karma for Galilea!” Bettie responded scornfully.
Bradley flashed a smile at Bettie and said, “There have been rumors circulating that Tyrone and Galilea are planning to tie the
knot and he doesn’t want her to make any public appearances. Her projects have been put on hold, and she has been absent
from the public eye for some time now.”
Sabrina lowered her head and tightened her grip on her purse.
Her heart sank as confirmation of Tyrone’s impending marriage hit her.
It now appeared that her earlier assumption of Damon being Tyrone’s friend was unfounded. She realized how foolish she had
been to think that way.
Sabrina carefully maintained her composure, knowing that Bradley was observing her reaction. When he noticed that she
seemed calm, he assumed she had moved on. This pleased him very much.
“A jerk and a bitch! They’re a perfect match!” Bettie scoffed.
As the group settled in at the restaurant, they ordered various dishes.
Since they had been to the establishment before, they were familiar with its delicious menu.
Bradley closed the menu and handed it to the waiter. Then he turned his attention to Sabrina. “I’m strapped for time at the
moment. When do you plan on returning? Perhaps we can hang out again when you get back.”
“Aylin will be returning earlier, probably in the middle of the month.
I’m extending the trip elsewhere with Bettie.”
