Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

"Perhaps it has to do with Miss Shirly," Gavin said, shrugging in response. "She didn't seem too pleased that you were talking to her."

That thought crossed my mind as well and I'm still unsure of what was said while they were in the bathroom together. I didn't bother entertaining the conversation any further as I turned and walked away. I grabbed my phone in my pocket and tried to call Silver's cellphone. However, it went unanswered. I tried a few more times before it started to go straight to voicemail.

"I hope it's not my fault that she left," Shirly said, pouting. "I was only telling her the truth in the bathroom. I never meant to upset her, Elliot. You must believe me."

My brows furrowed together as I stared down at Shirly. I knew she said something to Silver while they were in the bathroom. I couldn't hide the irritation on my face as I took a step away from her.

"What exactly did you say to her, Shirly?" I asked, trying to keep my tone under control and not draw unwanted attention.
