Chapter 100 Driving A Wedge
Eric raised his eyebrows, startled. “What’s that coming from?”
Quickly concealing her annoyance with a grin, Linda responded, “Just a little humor. Why are you taking it so
seriously?”
She then explained her presence, “I stopped by for a meeting with East Entertainment.”
East Entertainment Media, a subsidiary of the Flynn Group, shared the building with Eric’s office.
Linda had scheduled today to discuss with her agent to lighten her future workload, canceling or postponing non–urgent appointments, though she still had some commitments to honor.
Getting to her feet, she said, “I’ve managed my schedule and just thought I’d check in with you before leaving. I’ve got work later.”
a and
“Understood.” Eric nodded briefly. “I’ll let you get on with your evening-”
“Anyway,” Linda interjected before he could finish. Her eyes landed on the two brown paper bags on the coffee table. She gestured toward them. “Just curious–what are those?”
“Oh, those?” Eric glanced at the bags, recognition dawning. “Those are candied hawthorns.”
His answer came out plain and simple.
Linda, intrigued, raised an eyebrow. “When did you start liking this kind of snack?”
Eric hesitated, careful not to mention they were meant for Hadley. “It’s just something I felt like nibbling on.”
“Really? Are they good?” Linda inquired as she bent over, opened a bag, and tried a piece.
“Not too bad,” she commented after tasting it.
“See?” Eric replied, a subtle twitch in his brow. Swiftly, he handed her the opened bag. “Why don’t you take this one with you?”
Linda chuckled and replied, “Really? Are you sure?”
“Yes, they’re just some treats,” Eric responded casually. “I’ve got more here.”
After all, the bag was already open–giving it to Hadley was no longer an option.
Linda laughed as she took the bag. “Thanks, then. I’m off.”
But her smile faded the moment she turned around.
