Chapter 365

I looked at her dainty features for a minute or two but still failed to recall when and where I had ever met this girl.

The girl giggled at my confusion. “Ms. Stovall, did you forget? We just met. My name is Yvonne Wilde. You and Mr. Stovall saved me at the Imperial Hotel.”

“Mr. Stovall arranged some shifts for me in J City so I can work closer to home and return at the end of the month,” she said with a smile. She seemed happy just talking about John.
