Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 522 How to Refuse Someone

While Hank was taking that woman on a tour around his firm, Yelena had left in silence. When Hank turned back, he saw Summer standing at the reception alone, staring at him.

Noticing Hank looking at her, Summer looked at him as well. For the first time ever, there was no admiration in her eyes. There was disappointment and disdain.

Is that disdain I notice? Hank thought he was seeing things. When he tried to take a closer look, Summer had looked away and was staring at the entrance.

“Hank? What are you staring at, Hank?” The girl waved her hand in front of Hank’s face, snapping him out of his stupor.

Cecelia waved her hand. “No. Someone’s waiting for me. That concludes our appointment today. See you tomorrow, Mr. Damazio.”

Hank looked away and nodded gently. “Sure. Go now. Drive safe.”

“I know, I know. Bye now.” Cecelia picked up her bag and walked off. When she reached the entrance, she asked Summer, “Who was that with you just now? She was staring at me.”
