My patience was wearing thin as I glanced at my watch for what felt like the hundredth time. Richard

was late, and I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of annoyance creeping in. We had agreed to meet at the bridal shop at 1 p.m. sharp, and yet, here I was, waiting for him since he was running late.

I didn’t like the idea of being in a bridal shop, which was why I didn’t want to waste any time here, but Richard just had to waste my time by running late.

“Look, I’m waiting for my fiance to arrive,” I replied, my voice steady but tinged with irritation. “We had planned to come here together. I will start shopping as soon as he arrives.”

Janice’s smile faltered for a moment, her gaze flickering with uncertainty. “Well, Miss Grey, time is limited. I suggest you make a decision quickly. We have an important client coming in, and they
