Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 11

The elevator came to a stop. As the doors slid open, Suzanne didn't say a word.

She and Shane stepped out together, but before they had taken more than a few steps, a deep, familiar voice called out from behind her, "Suzanne."

She could tell it was Jenson without turning around.

Shane rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, "Here comes the clingy ex."

Jenson was definitely regretting it now.

Suzanne didn't acknowledge the voice or stop walking.

Jenson's expression darkened at the realization that Suzanne was ignoring him.

Holding back his frustration, he quickly closed the distance between them. In just a few strides, he reached her side and grabbed her arm. Suzanne was forced to stop and turned to him with a deep frown. "Let go."

Jenson's grip tightened on her slender wrist. His voice was low and firm. "Suzanne, it's been months since we last saw each other. Don't you think we should talk?"

Annoyance flared in Suzanne's chest as she tried to free herself from his grasp. Her tone was cold and sharp. "Mr. Lambert, please behave yourself."

Just then, Seline, who had chased after Jenson, caught up and saw the scene unfolding. She stomped her foot in frustration and shouted, "Jenson!"

But before she could say anything more, Jenson shot her a cold, warning glare. The sheer intensity of it made her freeze, her breath hitching. She didn't dare utter another word.

Seline knew Jenson well enough to understand that pushing him now would only backfire. But seeing him holding Suzanne's hand made her blood boil. Her eyes burned with rage as she glared at Suzanne.

All that bitch knew was to seduce Jenson. The fury simmering in Seline's chest was unbearable, but there was nothing she could do about it.
