Chapter 232

The vinegar bottle slipped from her grasp.

The glass shattered on the pavement, a sharp tang of vinegar filling the air.

“Oh my goodness, are you alright?” Anthea blurted out an apology.

“I’m fine.” The man brushed off his black trench coat nonchalantly.

That voice, it sounded oddly familiar.

Anthea looked up, and it was Alex.

Alex hadn’t expected the person he bumped into to be Anthea, “Ms. Yeager, I’m sorry about your vinegar.”

“It’s okay, it wasn’t your fault. I wasn’t watching where I was going. I’ll just pop back to the store for another bottle,” Anthea said. But instead of heading straight back to the store, she squatted down to pick up the broken pieces, tossing them into a nearby bin to prevent any passersby from getting hurt.

Alex crouched down too, helping Anthea with the cleanup.

Their fingertips grazed each other lightly.

A spark, quick and unexpected, and they both paused.

Anthea didn’t show any awkwardness, simply releasing the shard and grabbing another.
