Chapter 55

Walking behind the pair of them as Kylan showed Nishel Titan Enterprises, was nothing short of humiliating agony

Were Kylan actually her husband. Katrina could imagine how much it seemed like he didn't care about her. Not with the way Nishel had her hand practically groping the bottom of Kylan's back.

"The f*ck is this shit?" /

Aaron hissed from next to her

She looked up at her best friend, finding he was staring at Nishel and Kylan with a pointed glare. "It's nothing, Aaron. It's fine. I'm sure he's just trying to be polite," she whispered back to him, not fully believing the words as she said them.

"He's being a dick, Kate. I know things have been weird between you since Portland, but this is disrespectful. Let me say something to hum, please. 1 don't give a f*ck if he fires me because of it." Aaron sounded like he did mean what he was saying, and she would be lying if she didn't think about taking him up on his offer.

"It's fine, Aaron. Really. It's fine." she murmured to him, turning down another row of machines behind Rylan and Nishel

"Gardner, up here with me. Nishel has some questions," Kylan barked back at Aaron.

Kylan wasn't sitting next to her in the SUV, instead, he was next to Nishel whilst she sat by Aaron. She was in the row behind them, watching as Nishel sat far too close to Rylan. Watching as she openly flirted with him. Watching as she put an arm around the back of his seat, and he didn't push it away.

She felt sick to her stomach. Dizzy. So dizzy and untethered.

Aaron leaned forward without warning and sneezed directly onto Nishel's arm. She stared at him, her eyes wide and her mouth open in shock.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry. Gotta be winter allergies. Terribly sorry, Miss. And so sorry, Sir." Aaron feigned innocence, but she knew he had done it all

on purpose.

In worked, though. Nishel withdrew her arm with a disgusted glance back at Aaron. Kylan also made sure Aaron saw his own disdain, but Aaron merely smiled at him sheepishly.

And then Aaron put his hand on her knee and squeezed lightly. She put her hand over his for a moment and squeezed back

It was nice to know someone was thinking of her. Even if it wasn't the person who should have been taking her feelings into consideration in the first place.

Kylan didn't sit by her side at lunch, either. Instead, he sat across from her and let Aaron sit next to her once more. She ordered a bowl of soup and Kylan didn't a glass of water, hardly having the stomach for anything more.
