Chapter 282



"No biggie. I thought it'd be nice to grab dinner together," Yates said, straight to the point.

Fanny seemed caught off guard, momentarily speechless. When I thought she'd play hard to get and turn him down, she surprised me with a simple "Sure."

Yes! Smart girl. She wasn't about to let a catch like Yates slip through her fingers. I silently cheered for Fanny, already daydreaming about the fantastic evening she and her crush would have. That was when Milly interrupted, "It's been a while since the three of us got together after graduation. We truly should catch up."

Wait, what? Talk about being an eager third wheel. Having been through it all, I knew Milly was trying to prevent Fanny and Yates from spending time alone.

Milly smiled, completely unfazed and without any awkwardness. "I know you want to discuss helping your friend's family with surgery. You might not know this, but I'm also involved in the project. I'll be in the OR with Yates."
