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?"

She gripped her dress tighter, trying to quell her shaking body, but fear was useless here. She forced herself to look up at Bryant, "So, Mr. Ferguson, can I?"

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