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

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.
