Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 702 He's Not That Kind-hearted

"Not bad," Brody said.

Jessica's face lit up with smugness. So what if Selena was prettier? Brody didn't like her, and that was her loss!

Selena's eyes lingered on Brody. She'd seen his photo on Ann's phone wallpaper and knew the guy next to Jessica was him. 'Brody's here with Jessica. Is he still serious about Ann?' Selena wondered.

She pulled out her phone to snap a pic, but it rang. Ann was calling.

Selena had asked Ann to pick her up tonight, but Raymond had just asked her to hang out. So, she didn't need Ann anymore. "Ms. Fair," Ann's voice was low. "Sorry, I might need the night off."

"What's wrong?" Selena asked.

Ann, pale and trembling, replied, "I have menstrual cramps. I was on my way to get you, but the pain's too much. I had to pull over." "Where are you? I'll come find you," Selena said.

"No need, Ms. Fair. I just want to go home and rest," Ann replied.

Selena agreed. Some women faint from menstrual pain; maybe Ann was one of them.

Ann, strong-willed as she was, probably wouldn't admit it.

Curled up in her car, shivering, Ann called Brody.
