Chapter 236

Nancy paused for a moment, her eyes fixed on the laid-back Michael, just as she was about to continue speaking.

"Nancy, what are you doing at the bar?" A flustered voice cut through the noise.

Michael, playing along, feigned surprise, "Wow, Judson, you hit the nail on the head!"

"What did you say?" Judson's grip on Nancy's shoulders tightened as his gaze fell on the unfamiliar jacket she wore, his expression darkening.
