I turned around to look at him, catching a flicker of annoyance in his eyes.

“Mr. Jennings, do you always enjoy eavesdropping on people?” I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

Edward’s face turned a bit awkward before he tried to explain himself.

“I called and texted you, but you never replied. I was worried something might have happened to you,” he said, his voice dropping a little.

I gave a small laugh and said, “Or maybe I just pretended not to see your calls and texts?”

Edward’s face stiffened for a second, then he looked a bit resigned. “Yeah, that did cross my mind.”

“It’s getting late. I’m heading home now. See you,” I said, not wanting to stand here making small talk with him in the dark.

Edward stepped forward, blocking my way. “Aren’t you even a little curious about what Ryan has been doing these days?”

For some reason, that just pissed me off. I shot him a glare. “Mr. Jennings, are you seriously that bored? First you tell me to cut him off for good, then you turn around and feed me news about him. Do you get a kick out of messing with me

like this?”

Edward’s gaze lingered on my face, and when he saw I was angry, he actually smiled.

“I just wanted to see your reaction. Sorry. If you don’t want to know, I’ll keep quiet,” he said, stepping aside to let me pass. “It’s almost the end of the year. You should be heading home for the New Year, right?”

“Yes!” I said, striding past him without another word.

I knew Edward was still
