No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 624

"Felicia, you're back?"

Dustin looked at me, a mix of surprise and excitement in his eyes.

"Yeah, just got back today," I emphasized the word 'today' for effect.

Fanny chimed in smoothly, "Just got back and already bumped into you, what a coincidence."

Dustin seemed to catch the underlying message in Fanny's words, pointing upstairs, "Some of our high school buddies had planned to meet up here a few days ago." Just then, someone called him, "Dustin, we're heading out."

He waved in their direction and then turned to us, noticing the pot of chili at our table, "You guys need anything else?"

That was his way of offering to pick up the tab.

"I've already taken care of it through an app," Fanny spoke up for both of us.

Dustin looked at me and said, "Felicia, take some time to settle in, then come over for dinner. My folks have been asking about you."

"I'll take you out for dinner sometime," I said, pausing for a moment, "And thanks for everything in Houston."

I mentioned Houston on purpose, just to see his reaction.

He stayed chill and said, "Sure."
