Even Thomas remained calm, while her own panic spiked. If Carter ever discovered that she and Thomas already knew each other, he would despise her completely.

It landed like a barb, bitter and ironic.

Her expression cooled as she turned on Nate.

“Nate, watch your mouth. If you keep slandering me, I will expose your words and actions online and pursue legal action against you.”

Then her icy gaze shifted to Carter.

“And you, Carter. Who I choose to be with is my business, not yours. 1
