Regret Novel 17

Chapter 17

Charlotte didn’t see Evander for a whole week.

Dean Chase had asked her to take Tricia along to the research

conference–said it was Evander’s idea. She’d heard about it already and wasn’t surprised.

The morning of the event, she messaged Tricia from her work phone.

Told her to get ready.

Tricia’s reply was a simple, “Okay.”

Charlotte left the hospital and waited outside for a while, but soon Tricia texted: *Sorry, Dr. Sterling, you go ahead, Evander’s giving me a ride.*

Charlotte glanced at the message, her lips twisting into a cold, ironic

smile.

She typed back, “Sure,” and shut off her screen.

When Charlotte arrived at Pinnacle Plaza and stepped out of her car, she found herself face–to–face with Evander’s silver sedan, as if fate were mocking her.

Tricia hopped out from the passenger seat, perfectly put together, makeup immaculate.

Evander followed, dressed down in a pale, casual outfit that made him look softer, younger–nothing like the reserved man she’d known.

Men really are different around their first love, she mused.

Clearly, he’d spent the week with Tricia.

Charlotte pulled her gaze away, tamping down the ache inside her, and strode past them into the building.

In the lobby, she spotted a familiar face.
