Chapter 19

Chapter 19

After looking over at him, he couldn’t resist giving Susan the once over, his eyes scrutinizing her until she got ticked off, “What’s up?”

She was still miffed about running into him earlier and his incessant babbling.

Susan drew out her voice in disbelief, Pssh

Susan scoffed at him, “That’s not a change in attitude. It just shows your boss is still sore about being dumped by Sophia and can’t get over the blow to his ego.”
