Bryant chuckled, his deep-set eyes scanning her without really seeing, effortlessly piercing through her façade.

Just one look was enough for Nadine to awkwardly lower her head, avoiding his gaze!

Nadine's heart pounded, not from excitement but from fear and anxiety.

Looking down at her, Bryant slowly figured out what was going through her mind. "Thought you could replace Jane, did you?"

Bryant scoffed, not giving her a direct answer, only saying, "Park here.”
