When Love Breaks by Jack

“Really?” Bryant’s cutting remark halted at his lips as he gazed into her shivering eyelashes and the cool depths beneath them. Something stirred in his heart. “Come with me.” “What?” Nadine was caught off guard, only to see Bryant striding away.

She hesitantly looked back at Kevin, who was still waiting for her. “Mr. Ferguson…”

“You heard me right.” Kevin glanced in the direction their boss had gone, a hint of melancholy in his tone.

Trying to make amends for his ex-wife, Mrs. Ferguson, was one thing, but now it seemed he was projecting onto someone who merely resembled her.

Still, Kevin wondered if this was a stroke of luck or a curse for the young woman before him.

Nadine glanced at the coffee cups in her hand, feeling a bit stuck, when she saw Kevin signal the front desk. “Could you deliver these to the Design Department? Compliments of Ms. White.”

Once in the car, Nadine barely dared to breathe, struggling to calm her racing heart.

Bryant didn’t spare her a glance, simply instructing Kevin, “Head back to Lunar Lake Bay Villas.”

“… Yes.” Kevin was puzzled but kept his thoughts to himself.

Lately, their boss had been staying at the Lunar Lake Bay Villas, but why return now?

Especially after he had just changed clothes before coming downstairs!

The car ride was tense, quiet until they reached the villas and slowed to a stop.

Bryant got out first, leading Nadine upstairs before stopping in front of a room and leaving her with two words, “Wait here.”

Then he entered alone, returning shortly with a brand-new, pure-white evening gown.
