His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 192

Nancy casually ran her fingers through her hair, then slipped her arm through Stephen's with a clear declaration of ownership. "You must be Ms. Yates, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Nancy, Steve's girlfriend."

Tessa lowered her gaze, and her eyes fixed on Nancy's hand resting on Stephen's arm. A sharp sting pierced her chest.

Stephen stood still and briefly looked down at the hand hooked around his arm. His Adam's apple bobbed as if he wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

Naomi couldn't take it anymore. She stormed over and yanked Nancy's hand away. "Get your hand off him!"
