Chapter 23\u00a0<\/p>\n
After delivering her speech, Bethany discovered that half of the employees who had supposedly asked for a day off had returned, while the three who had gone out on fieldwork were back at the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled and clapped her hands. \u201cHey everyone, since I\u2019m new here, coffee\u2019s on me! What would you like?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed that no harm came to them, but they still reaped the benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks, Ms. Porter! One iced long black for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like a medium\u2013sized iced blonde vanilla latte with oat milk!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, I haven\u2019t had coffee today. I\u2019ll have a large iced caramel macchiato with whipped cream and an extra shot, please.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
William was the only one whose expression had turned dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
At 5:00 pm, Bethany left work right on time. The moment she entered her car, she saw a crestfallen William chasing after her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Porter, I messed up today. Please don\u2019t hold it against me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany wound down the window and gave him a curt nod. \u201cAlright, apology accepted. Still, we need to be professional at work, Mr. Grant. Try to boost your performance next month to offset this month\u2019s penalty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she slowly drove out of the parking lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany had made plans with Silas to buy matching rings. She checked the location he sent and drove there. When she got to the store, a row of matching rings was already waiting for her on the display case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas asked, \u201cSee anything you like?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany skimmed the selection and settled on the matching single\u2013diamond pair. They were simple but classy. She said, These are perfect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A hint of joy flashed across Silas\u2018 eyes. \u201cSure. We\u2019ll take this pair.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He naturally slipped one onto his ring finger, then picked up the other. \u201cWould you like to put yours on now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a brief silence, Bethany agreed. \u201cSure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, she couldn\u2019t help but wonder if Silas\u2018 boyfriend would get jealous upon seeing their matching rings. Naturally, that wasn\u2019t something she needed to worry about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was in and out of the store with the rings in under ten minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas said, \u201cLet\u2019s go. My car is parked on B2.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany pressed the elevator button. \u201cMine\u2019s parked on B1. We can leave separately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas gave her a long look, a half\u2013smile playing on his lips. \u201cSure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Across the elevator, approximately 60 feet away, Ella stood linking hands with Noah. She exclaimed, \u201cNoah, the outdoor store is here!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah squinted as a familiar figure crossed his path. The long\u2013haired woman reminded him of Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could take a good look at the figure, they had already entered the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella chirped, \u201cNoah, should we wear matching outfits to go camping?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah snapped out of his reverie and gave an absent\u2013minded nod. \u201cSure, whatever works.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
11<\/p>\n
He suddenly chuckled. \u201cElla, why don\u2019t you find a chance to invite Bethany? Didn\u2019t she give you a hard time that day? I\u2019ll set things up so we can get back at her together. How about it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella\u2019s eyes lit up. \u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing that she seemed a little too excited, Ella bit her lip. \u201cNoah, don\u2019t you think it might be a bit too much?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s gaze turned dark as he ruffled her hair. \u201cOf course not. She did give you a hard time, didn\u2019t she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, didn\u2019t Bethany block his number?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Well, he was dying to see what gave Bethany the nerve to do that!\u00a0<\/p>\n
