When Love Breaks by Jack

Nadine was struck with a moment of disbelief.

This was definitely not what she had expected!

Bryant chuckled, his deep-set eyes scanning her without really seeing, effortlessly piercing through her façade.

Just one look was enough for Nadine to awkwardly lower her head, avoiding his gaze!

This man was terrifying!

Playing coy in front of someone like Bryant, who had a deep understanding of human nature, was a grave mistake…

Leisurely, Bryant stubbed out his cigarette, his voice hoarse yet his presence still intimidating, “What did you think I called you here today for?”

Nadine’s heart pounded, not from excitement but from fear and anxiety.

Looking down at her, Bryant slowly figured out what was going through her mind. “Thought you could replace Jane, did you?”

She gripped her dress tighter, trying to quell her shaking body, but fear was useless here. She forced herself to look up at Bryant, “So, Mr. Ferguson, can I?”

Bryant scoffed, not giving her a direct answer, only saying, “Park here.”

Kevin, picking up on the subtle anger in his boss’s tone, slammed the brakes and pulled over.
