Chapter 118 Edwin
That night, I had waited in my office for Audrey to leave, just as I always did. But 1 had waited for hours, and it was after midnight, and she still didn't emerge from the building. I had begun to think that she must have slipped out without me noticing, and maybe she was home already.
But then I found her at the bus stop, and I couldn't just let her wait there on her own.
Audrey's face cycled from confusion to fear and finally to what almost looked like mild annoyance once she saw my keys dangling from my fingers. "No thanks," she said, turning away and folding her arms across her chest. "I'm taking the bus."

Instantly, I regretted it; the sight of her toned legs in those heels made my heart throb, and she almost noticed me looking
"Here we are." Clearing my throat, I stopped in front of my sleek black car waiting at the curb. I opened the passenger door for her, but she hardly acknowledged the gesture as she slipped inside. As I closed the door, my wolf growled in frustration. "You need to make things right with her," he said. "This is getting ridiculous."
I knew my wolf was right, but I couldn't help glancing around nervously before getting in the driver's seat. Fiona's threat to ruin Audrey's reputation if I kept talking to her hung over me like a dark cloud. There was no telling what Fiona might do if she found out about me giving Audrey a ride home...
Let alone if she knew that I had Audrey and her friends in my house one night.
