A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 65

Helix Group was a big corporation, so they were particular about their rules and regulations.

Since they had already stated it, it meant that there would be personnel conducting strict screening. Thus, there was no way that Caroline could take Cindy with her.

So, Caroline called Cindy and me to the office to explain this to us.

"Ms. Lane, it's a shame we can't participate in this party together. Don't worry, though. There will be plenty of parties in the future. We can take part together next time."

Cindy lowered her gaze and whispered, "I understand."

After that, Cindy left the office looking disappointed.

Then, I thought of how Bruce would be distressed if he saw this.

Caroline also noticed this and remarked, "I'm sure this won't be the last time I'll be hearing about this."

I looked toward her, and when our gazes met, Caroline added, "Cindy brought this up in our work group. Let's not forget that Bruce is also inside it."

I understood what Caroline was saying—she thought that Cindy did it on purpose.

I started to feel a bit uneasy.

However, sometimes, what one feared most was simply bound to happen.

When it was almost time to get off work, Caroline sent a screenshot of the conversation between her and John.

"Mr. Harold wants you to find a way to bring Ms. Lane to tomorrow's party."

Although John wasn't straightforward about it, Caroline and I both knew what he meant behind it.

Only two people could go to the party. Thus, Bruce wanted Caroline to choose between me and Cindy.

Caroline furiously roared, "I could normally overlook how biased he is to her. But tomorrow's a special occasion. And as a student who hasn't even graduated yet, what right does she have to participate in it? Is Bruce blinded by lust?"

So, Caroline rejected John's proposal.
