Chapter 102

Chapter 101

Elodie immediately sensed Sylvie's gaze on her-warm, almost amused. That look made her feel exposed, as if a spotlight had landed on her in a darkened theater.

Across from her, Jarrod's face was as composed and inscrutable as ever, not a single trace of familiarity in his expression. He could have been a stranger.

Elodie's lips curved into a faint, sardonic smile. "Well, since Ms. Fielding already has her white knight, I'm curious-what role is Mr. Mercer playing tonight?"
