Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 774

Running into Yuna at a bar this late was the last thing I expected.

Lately, I'd been so wrapped up in my own mess that I hadn't been paying her enough attention. But that didn't mean I'd stopped caring. Not even close.

Yuna stood out in her mint-green dress-modest, elegant, and so out of place in the chaotic bar scene.

I didn't call out to her. Instead, I trailed behind, curious and a little uneasy. What was she doing here?

She moved through the crowd with purpose, heading straight for the back. When she stopped in front of Tanya's office, my stomach tightened. Tanya reached out to her? Every instinct screamed at me to be on alert. I crept closer and positioned myself outside the door. It wasn't fully closed, leaving just enough of a gap to peek and listen. "Ms. Twain, I'm starting school next week, so I won't be able to come here anymore. Could you settle my performance fees from the past few weeks?"

Her words hit me like a brick. Yuna had been working here? For weeks?

"KRA?" Tanya smiled like she was the most approachable person alive.

Yuna nodded. "Yes, KRA."

"That's a fantastic college! My husband graduated from there," Tanya said, name- dropping Desmond.

I nearly rolled my eyes. Did she not realize bringing up Desmond's name, especially at this hour, might tempt his ghost to show up and drag her to hell?
