Chapter 354:

On their ride home, Denver took the opportunity to learn more about the incident.

“Can you tell me what happened tonight? How did you injure your hand?”

Cradling her bandaged hand, Hadley chose not to disclose the harassment she had faced.

Instead, she explained, “I was having dinner with the film crew when a glass broke. I cut myself picking up the pieces.” She framed the incident as a simple accident.

Denver, still looking for more answers, asked, “How did you bump into Eric?”

Hadley hesitated.

“I really don’t know, Denver,” she said. “I bumped into him just as I was stepping out. Maybe he was there for dinner, just like you.” Given that Poseidon’s Realm was a popular spot for business, her explanation wasn’t out of the ordinary.

“Yeah, that sounds right,” Denver acknowledged, his worries easing. He believed that Eric’s presence was just coincidental and not an attempt to reconnect with Hadley.
