“I have nothing to say to you,” I muttered, stepping around him and striding off.

‘What does Edward even want to talk about? Does he just want to hear me say, to his face, that I must’ve been blind to choose Ryan?‘ I thought.

“Victoria, you finally made it! Was traffic bad? It’s always a nightmare around here,” Isabelle greeted me with a bright smile.

I nodded. “Yeah, traffic was pretty rough.”

Hearing that, I thought, ‘Wow, she’s kind of a big deal too.‘

Fiona gave me a polite nod. “Hello, Ms. Murphy. Nice to meet you.”

From the way she acted, she seemed even more eager than Ryan to meet me, probably wanting to see what kind of competition she was up against.

Honestly, there was no point in comparing us. I knew I couldn’t compete with her–if I could, Ryan wouldn’t be marrying her in the first place.
