Chapter 102

I started the Bentley and focused on pulling out of the parking lot. When I checked the mirror again, I saw that Nathan wasn’t following us. Maybe he’d just started his car to let me know he was leaving, too.

When we got home, Yvonne still hadn’t come back. Looked like Sally was dead set on giving us some alone time.

I got out of the car, and so did Jared. He wasn’t actually drunk. He was just clutching his suit jacket in his hand.

As he walked toward me, I could tell he was about to offer me his jacket, but I turned away at the same moment and walked off.

There was a soft thud as his suit jacket unexpectedly slipped from his hand and fell to the floor.

I went upstairs without so much as a backward glance. Jared bent down to pick up his jacket, his expression looking pretty
