Chapter 30:

Rachel and Trey arrived later at the gathering.

The group, of course, wasn’t about to let her off the hook so easily. Laughter erupted as they playfully called out, “Rachel Marsh, you’re late! You must drink a glass!”

Rachel’s gaze swept the room until it landed on Brian. He was sitting on the sofa, effortlessly commanding attention as people flocked around him. Beside him, Tracy sat comfortably, leaning in with an unmistakable familiarity. At that moment, they seemed like the perfect pair—charming, elegant, and completely in sync. And Rachel? She felt like an outsider who had mistakenly wandered into someone else’s story.

“Come on, Rachel! You can’t just stand there—come and drink!” someone chimed in. The others quickly joined the chant, encouraging her.

Rachel stole another glance at Brian.

Their relationship wasn’t public at work, but a small part of her still clung to hope. A part of her wished—however foolishly—that he would step in and spare her from this uncomfortable moment.

But she was wrong.

Brian’s face remained indifferent, as if she were no different from anyone else in the room.

Realizing there was no use in hoping, she looked away and focused on the glass of wine in front of her.

She lifted it, ready to drink it all in one go.

But just then, a warm, firm hand grabbed hers, stopping her.

Before she could react, the glass was gently taken from her grasp.

Trey, effortlessly composed, slipped one hand into his pocket while scanning the room with sharp eyes. In a calm yet unwavering tone, he stated, “I was the reason she was late. If anyone should drink, it’s me.”

With that, he lifted the glass and downed it in one smooth motion.

The crowd burst into cheers. “Now that is how a real man handles it!” Someone teased, “Rachel, where on earth did you find such a charming employee? I’d trade anything to have one like him on my team.”

Rachel gave a soft smile. “Pure coincidence. I just hired him today.”
