Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

When Jared followed Ellen’s line of sight and spotted Selena, he quickly drew Ellen to their seats at the head of the table. As Ellen sat down, her gaze was drawn to Dorothy, who was sitting across from her, and she was surprised to find Dorothy at the gathering as well. However, Dorothy scowled at her with intense hatred.

At that moment, Ryan welcomed another guest who walked in. “Mr. Orey, you made it inside. Come, have a seat.”

Lambert then drew out a seat directly across from Jared and sat down. It was apparent from the seating chart that those at the head table would be the most influential of those in attendance. Therefore, those seats belonged to Jared and Lambert.

Sensing the unusual intensity of his gaze, she hurriedly looked down. Then, he smirked and picked up his wine glass. What a shy girl!
