A figure she recognized stood in the hallway.
Lance’s intense stare settled on Bettie, tracking her every move.
Bettie withdrew her sight and walked around Lance as if nothing had happened and walked forward.
As she moved past him, Lance’s hand swiftly caught her wrist, bitterness evident in his eyes. “Bettie.”
Bradley was the reason again.
Seeing her talk and Laugh with Bradley made his heart ache in a way he couldn’t put into words. It was Like being submerged in
seawater, a mix of bitterness and saltiness overwhelming him.
He felt Like an outsider around her.
Bettie stopped and responded calmly, “Let’s talk Later when it’s over.
I’m swamped with work right now.”
After looking at her for a moment, Lance released her, murmuring, “Carry on with your work.”
