Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 422

As soon as Owen walked in, he scanned the room for Cecilia.

His heart sank a bit when he spotted her sitting with Avery.

-Avery dared to show up and pursue Cecilia after everything that had happened!

Did Avery not realize it was Owen who had been at his back?

Or had he really fallen for Cecilia?

Considering this possibility, Owen felt his hackles rise.

It is known some homosexuals don't stick to one path forever; they could switch up or swing both ways.

With purposeful strides, Owen approached them.

"There you are."

Before Owen could speak, Cecilia took the initiative and stood up. As Owen neared, she reached out to straighten his collar and tie.

Owen felt his anger dissipate at her touch, and a smile spread across his face.

"Cecilia, I didn't do a good job with my tie. My arm hurts, so I just tied it haphazardly. Can you redo it for me?"

She knew he was merely playing up the injury, but she indulged him, undoing his tie and retying it neatly. Then she asked, "Haven't you finished work for the day? How come you're here so early?"
